A Stockton man was ordered Monday to stand trial on allegations he shoved a former racecar driver out of a wheelchair while working as a contracted security guard during a July 13 NASCAR event at Sonoma Raceway. Judge Laura Passaglia's ruling concluded Alexander Rosiles' preliminary hearing in Sonoma County Superior Court, where he's charged with assault and battery on Chase Johnson of Penngrove. Rosiles, who is out of custody, is scheduled to return to court Dec. 30 for arraignment.

The 22-year-old man charged with killing Charlie Kirk will have a court hearing on Monday where he and his newly appointed legal counsel will decide whether they want a preliminary hearing where the judge will determine if there is enough evidence against him to go forward with a trial. Prosecutors have charged Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder and plan to seek the death penalty.

A judge has ordered Ricardo Gonzalez Ruiz, whom Berkeley police shot at the end of a nearly hour-long standoff in April, to be tried on 10 felony charges and one misdemeanor. Two Berkeley police officers, a sergeant and a detective testified before Superior Court Judge Thomas Reardon during Ruiz's day-long preliminary hearing Friday. Police had previously released information about the guns they found in Ruiz's apartment, a shotgun and a compressed air rifle, and that there had been evidence someone had fired the air rifle.
