Hello, people of Sacramento! It's me again, Jeri Karges, your host of the Sacramento Daily. I'll be taking tomorrow off, but I'll see you in your inbox bright and early Tuesday morning! First, today's weather: Partly sunny and warmer. High: 63 Low: 37. Here are the top five stories today in Sacramento: Sherri Louise Papini, the Redding woman accused of fabricating her November 2016 kidnapping and then lying to the FBI about it, made her first court appearance Friday in Sacramento and was ordered to remain in custody at least until Tuesday. Papini is charged in a federal criminal complaint with one count of making false statements and one count of mail fraud. The charge that she lied to the FBI during interviews could net her five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The wire fraud charge, which stems from her receipt of $30,000 from the California Victim Compensation Board could result in up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. (Sacramento Bee via MSN)Runnin' for Rhett Non-Profit hosted its 12th annual Capitol Beer Fest on Saturday, donating 100% of the proceeds to the Runnin' for Rhett after-school youth fitness program. The event has become Northern California's largest craft beer event featuring more than 100 craft brewers, 24 different food options, DJs, live music, and more. "Runnin' for Rhett was established in memory of my son, Rhett, who passed away back in 2004 from complications from cerebral palsy," Randy Seevers, the Executive Director for Runnin' for Rhett Non-Profit, said. "My wife and I used running to get through the grief of losing Rhett and we started raising money, later becoming a nonprofit in 2007." (ABC10)One minor was stabbed in Downtown Sacramento, near the Golden 1 Center on Friday night, according to the Sacramento Police Department. Police said the stabbing happened in the 400 block of K Street. First responders transported the victim to the nearest hospital for what police described as a "non-life-threatening stab wound." Officers arrested a suspect, who they described as a minor as well. (KCRA3) It was a deadly week along Hwy 99. Three pedestrians were hit within days of each other. California Highway Patrol Officer Mark Leavitt said all three drivers stayed at the scene with no drugs or alcohol involved. There were no criminal consequences, but there was an emotional impact that could be just as damaging. CHP will ticket you if they find you walking on the freeway. It's illegal and, obviously, dangerous. (CBS Sacramento)The California Golden Bears are set to host a massive Junior Day this weekend in Berkeley.
