The second day of testimony in the trial of Stockton Unified School District board member AngelAnn Flores began Wednesday morning with the prosecution’s first witness: Andrew White, a special investigator for Sentry Insurance. His testimony focused on the insurance fraud charge tied to a 2022 minor car accident involving Flores. The fraud charge is one of three felony counts the second-term school board member faces after a grand jury indicted her in January.

The crackdown on Stockton’s smoke shops has begun. During recent inspections aimed at enforcing state and local tobacco control laws, the Police Department’s Special Investigations Section teamed up with California tax agents to visit smoke shops in the city and write citations when they found violations. Authorities seized $55,000 worth of flavored tobacco products during the past few weeks and cited several shops they say were operating without licenses.
