LONGSHOREMAN DIES AFTER TRUCK PLUNGES IN SF BAY: OAKLAND  (AP) — Authorities have identified a 78-year-old Port of Oakland longshoreman who died after his truck plunged into the San Francisco Bay.

Manuel Stimpson accidentally drove his white pickup truck into the water near Berth 30 on Friday.

Oakland Police spokeswoman Officer Johnna Watson says a team of divers found the truck submerged in about 50 feet of water.

Divers attached cable lines from a crane to pull the vehicle out. Stimpson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Co-workers said Stimpson, a San Francisco resident, had worked at the port for 47 years. Representatives from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union said he was working as a clerk on Friday, helping direct the placement of containers.

Work at the port was suspended for 24 hours following the accident.

PROPOSED CALIF. MEASURE REQUIRES DOCTOR DRUG TESTS: SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A proposed state ballot measure in California would require doctors to be randomly subjected to drug and alcohol testing.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports  the "Pee in the Cup" initiative is being pushed by Bob Pack, a technology mogul and former executive at AOL Inc. and NetZero Inc.

His young son and daughter were killed a decade ago by a driver under the influence of alcohol and prescription pills.

Pack's campaign already is armed with $2 million in funding and will launch this summer.

The newspaper reports the initiative might also seek to lift the cap on damages in medical malpractice cases.

The goal is to get the measure on the November 2014 ballot.

A spokesperson for the California Medical Association calls the effort a "publicity stunt."

FORMER DRUG AGENT SENTENCED TO 14 YEARS IN PRISON: OAKLAND  (AP) — A disgraced former head of an elite Northern California drug task force has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to stealing drugs from evidence lockers and trying to sell the drugs.

The Contra Costa Times reports that Norman Wielsch was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty in December to conspiracy to distribute marijuana and methamphetamine and to charges of theft from programs receiving government funds.

The 51-year-old Wielsch led the now-defunct Central Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team, an elite multi-agency unit that conducted drug raids and shut down prostitution rings.

A grand jury indicted Wielsch and private investigator Christopher Butler in 2011 on the drug charges, as well as charges of operating a brothel and conducting phony sting operations to rob prostitutes.

Butler is currently in prison after pleading guilty in the case.
