RTD in turmoil. Ex-cop faces new charges.

Good morning, Stockton.

Transit leadership is shifting fast. The RTD board placed its CEO on leave, and the next day the operations chief resigned. Riders who rely on public transit felt the effects.

Also this week: A former Stockton police sergeant serving time for sexual assault is facing five new charges. Black History Month events are happening citywide. And the same guys who ran onto the Super Bowl field in 2022 did it again.

Thanks for reading and being part of this community.
