Fox40 anchor resigns from station in light of larceny charge

There's no denying Sabrina Rodriguez has gift. Co-Workers and supporters describe her as having the rare skill to fill the camera and mesmerize viewers. "She was one of the most famous faces on Fox40 until today, and most likely one of the air jordan 5.most recognized faces in the Sacramento area," said Doug Elmets, a high-profile communications and crisis management specialist who knows Rodriguez. "I believe there are lots of people that considered Sacramento was simply a way station for a considerably more significant media market." But somewhere along the way something went really wrong, authorities say. Her career at KTXL-TV ended Tuesday with her resignation in the aftermath of felony counts charging her with being involved in a shoplifting scheme last year with her fianc, who has been jailed on different charges that he burned down their south Sacramento home in May while manufacturing hash oil from pot. The fianc, 30-year old Nicholas Gray, is being held in the Sacramento County jail without bond and is described in court records as boasting of shoplifting up to $200,000 in clothes in a two-month period. He's not entered a plea in the case. Court records indicate Gray, a marijuana dispensary worker, has a criminal history which includes convictions for burglary, resisting an officer and using force against a girl. Rodriguez, who's out of custody on $10,000 bail, has not commented publicly on her case, but issued a statement Tuesday afternoon distancing herself from Gray. The woman's lawyer has denied the charges, and Rodriguez before declared her decision Tuesday to step down on her Twitter account and her Facebook page, where her profile photo reveals her posing with two Emmy statues. "I am heartbroken to say, I have opted to resign my place at Fox40," Rodriguez wrote. "Given the recent media attention I believe it was the best choice to make." The shoplifting claims spilled into the open with the filing of charges Thursday against Rodriguez stemming from a shopping trip to the Folsom Outlets in March 2013. That incident came three months after Rodriguez reported a Christmas Day narrative for the station on how easy one anonymous shoplifter located it to steal high end purses from area stores. That narrative has since been taken off the Fox40 website, but its text has been reproduced on a site run by a former KTXL producer, thedesk.matthewkeys.net. Based on court files, Rodriguez's legal troubles come from a March 26, 2013, shopping excursion with Gray to the Coach store at the Folsom Outlets. Another shopper told a shop employee KTXL saw Gray stuff several wallets into his bag and walk out without paying, and the worker phoned Folsom police, according to a case summary filed in Sacramento Superior Court. Workers discovered 10 wallets worth $2,484 had been chosen, and surveillance video from the shop showed Rodriguez pick up a wallet and shake it at Gray, who then took it and others and placed it in his bag, court records state. "It appears that Rodriguez is selecting wallets air jordan 13 retro womens white/black/red.nd helping conceal the actions of Gray as he places them in his bag," a case outline filed in court states. Rodriguez was detained at the outlets but denied knowing anything about a thieving, court documents state. Gray left the place in the employee's car before authorities arrived and refused to return when cops asked Rodriguez to phone him, based on court documents. The investigation continued, and Gray later was detained May 16, 10 days after a fire and explosion destroyed the couple's south Sacramento house in a blaze that injured a firefighter. Court documents indicate Gray set the house ablaze while fabricating hash oil, a concentrated oily drug made from bud. Rodriguez would later say that a fire at the couple's residence caused her to lose all her on air clothing and that co-workers and others donated clothing to help her. At the time of that gala, authorities already had been scouring a cell police seized upon Gray's arrest, and turned up a number of text messages between his phone and Rodriguez's phone. One chain of messages happened on March 13, 2013, when Gray texted Rodriguez, "Outta Vacaville. So simple. Bcbg re ordered the store. Therefore I got 100 dlr purses," court documents state. The documents suggest the text message was sent on the same day that workers at the BCBG store at the Vacaville factory outlets filed a police report on the theft of five purses worth $640. Researchers also found photographs on the cellphone, including one of someone in a car holding up a Nike shoe with the security label still attached. The documents also say that researchers retrieved audio files from Gray's phone discussing his drug use and other topics, including an April 10, 2013, file by which he discusses using a "Faraday cage," a bag used by shoplifters to thwart security detectors through the usage of foil linings. "He says that while going to San Francisco to get his methadone he steals from places like BCBG." Despite the evidence outlined in court files, Rodriguez still has many assistants, including spectators who were posting messages on her Facebook page Tuesday. "I pray all of your difficulties will be resolved fast," another wrote. "I would like to see you on TV again shortly." Despite the gravity of the legal challenge, Elmets says he considers that may occur. "It is going to take time," said Elmets, a veteran of the Reagan White House who's volunteering his expertise to help Rodriguez. "She hasn't been convicted of anything. These are just accusations and she is going to have the opportunity to reestablish her reputation and her career." air jordan australia.src="http://www.sellingairjordan.com/image/cache//data/Air-Jordan/wholesale-cheap-nike-air-jordan-womens-air-jordan-4-all-whitegray-33-500x500.jpg" width="800" height="800" border="0" alt="Nike Air Jordan 7" />
