the inflammatory claims of the tiburon police department which haven't been proven in court." now. marin county district attorney will look into the charges and make the final decision how far they go. we talked to neighbors who say they plan to reach out to the marin humane society to make sure lone remaining fawn is taken care of. emmy em -- emily turner in tiburon, kpix5. coming up how this suspect managed to break free and flee at 100 miles per hour behind the wheel of a cop car. >> and a major health warning about your home's tap water.
