• Porterville man accused of aiding ISIS, PC graduate (recorderonline.com) — A Porterville man recently arrested on federal charges of allegedly aiding ISIS is reported to have just graduated from Porterville College and planned to study civil engineering at Fresno State. Prosecutors say he and two others conspired to provide material support, while his attorney notes he has no prior record as a magistrate judge considers his custody status ahead of arraignment in Kansas City.

• Family seeks donation following death of Porterville man (thesungazette.com) — A Porterville family is asking the community to help an 84-year-old woman stay in her home after the sudden death of her son and caretaker, Jonathan “Jon” Roggenstein. Their GoFundMe aims to cover housing, utilities, medical costs, and other essentials so she can continue living independently, and they’re grateful for donations, shares, or simply kind thoughts and prayers.
