NY Police Chiefs Fed Up with Parole System:  Police chiefs in Monroe County, New York are standing together to demand reforms to the state's parole system, following the violent arrest of a parolee that had been out on parole for just two months before committing a string of robberies.  Sean Lahman and Joe Hand of the Democrat & Chronicle report that Gates Police Chief James VanBrederode is exasperated by the lack of supervision violent offenders are receiving on parole, calling it "an embarrassment to the law enforcement community."  Police arrested parolee Shaun Zimmer, previously incarcerated on a 2008 burglary charge, for seven armed robberies after a violent confrontation involving an assault on a police officer with a knife.  Another incident occurred in April, in which a man out on parole for a violent offense opened fire inside of a pub, wounding six and killing one.

Woman Gave Vital Info that Led to Raid of Subway Spokesman's Home:  A woman who spoke to Subway spokesman Jared Fogle on several occasions more than a decade ago told investigators that he often made "surprising and inappropriate remarks" containing subject matter that was "similar to what the FBI found when they raided his home."  Fox News reports that authorities had the Florida woman wear a wire and record phone conversations with Fogle, leading to the FBI raid of his home this week.  The development follows the May arrest of Russell Taylor, the former executive of Fogle's charity, the Jared Foundation, on seven counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.  Subway has suspended its relationship with Fogle, who has not been charged with any crime at this point in the investigation.

Charleston Shooter Sold Gun Illegally:  Dylann Roof, the man who gunned down nine African American parishioners at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina, should not have been able to purchase a gun, the FBI said Friday.  Pete Williams and Halimah Abdullah of NBC News report that an alleged background check flaw allowed Roof to illegally purchase a .45-caliber Glock handgun shortly after his 21^st birthday in April, despite a pending drug charge.  Federal law prohibits the sale of a firearm to anyone who is "under indictment for" a felony, and a separate provision bars the sale of a firearm to anyone who is an "unlawful user" of any controlled substance.

SF Sheriff Defends Release of Illegal Immigrant Charged with Murder:  San Francisco's sheriff, under heavy fire for the release of an illegal immigrant who has been charged in the shooting death of a young woman, is defending his department's decision, claiming that federal authorities failed to provide legal basis to continue holding him.  Paul J. Elias of the AP reports that Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi says that his department followed procedure and local laws when they released Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a five-time deportee and illegal immigrant with seven felony drug convictions, who went on to shoot and kill 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle while she walked along a busy pier with her father.  Information reveals that the San Francisco Sheriff's office released Sanchez despite a federal immigration request asking them to hold him until U.S. authorities could take him into custody for deportation proceedings.  Advocates for stricter immigration enforcement hope that this incident "leads to closer collaboration between local law enforcement and immigration authorities."
