right now at 11: tiger woods arrested. one of the greatest golfers to ever play the sport...busted for drunk driving in florida. right now at 11:00, tiger woods arrested. one of the greatest golfers to ever play the sport arrested for drunk driving in florida. thanks for joining us on this monday, memorial day. i'm kris sanchez. >> and i'm sam brock. it's another devastating turn in the career of a man widely considered the most mesmerizing athlete of his generation. police have not specified what he was under the influence of. this is a look at the mug shot that you have no doubt seen in all of your social media feeds and will be flashed in headlines for day to come. a disheveled unshaven woods, a very stark contrast from the
11:01 am
immaculately cultivated image that he presented to the world for years. right now we do not know many of the details surrounding the arrest except that jupiter police took him into custody about 3:00 this morning. woods was taken directly to the palm beach county jail. he was released a few hours later on his own recognizance. the arrest comes just over a month after his latest back surgery. woods recently said via his website he hasn't felt this good in years and fully expects to make a return to professional golf. but for maybe the most dazzling and electric golfer ever, his playing career was already heading in the wrong direction. the last of his 14 majors came in 2008. months after that he underwent surgery on his knee and was roiled by an extra-marital scandal that involved dozens of alleged affairs. his career and arguably his reputation have not been the same since. >> all right. now to breaking news here at home. we're just getting word that emergency crews are on scene of a two-alarm grass fire in the oakland hills. oakland fire crews say that the
11:02 am
crews have been called out to the area of ascot near beacon's field canyon. firefighters are describing this as a slow moving fire. at this point we don't know if any homes or biddings are impacted, but we do know that there are homes in the area. our newsroom is monitoring this situation. we'll bring you more information as son as we get it because we do know that it has been very dry. now to video from the bay area that's being seen around the world. that video of a 10-year-old boy flying off a dublin water slide, his little body sliding across the concrete. nbc bay area's bob redell is live at the wave water pushing in dublin where the park reopened. the guests are showing up, but so are investigators today. >> reporter: good morning to you, kris. yes, the city of dublin tells us that the manufacturer and the state are out here inspecting the emerald plunge as you can see is on the far left side of
11:03 am
that white tower. it's that green slide and 48 feet tall and it is shut down. the team of investigators including cal osha and the company that built the water slide here in dublin. it's not clear if they figured out what caused the boy to shoot off the slide during the water park's grand opening. a statement reads in part that we're thankful the 10-year-old involved in the incident walked away without any serious injury and we're working closely with the team at wave and both of the hoy-speed slides have been shut down pending a full investigation. the boy got slid off the slide in the so-called run-out in the bottom, designed to slow riders down. he landed on the concrete a few feet below the slide's edge. the city of dublin which owns and operates the water park was
11:04 am
treated more scrapes and bruises. the park, as i mentioned, shut down dublin plunge and the screamer. a third slide was shut down because of a faulty flow meter unrelated to what happened and that's reopened. the city tested emerald plunge for a number weeks before saturday's owning and cal osha certified it this past friday, the day before. the water park, it did reopen just a few minutes ago this morning as was planned for this memorial day, but you can see behind me there's not many people here we suspect because of this unusually cool weather. reporting live in dublin, bob redell, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, bob. turning to your forecast this memorial day. cool temperatures for the remembrance ceremonies planned in communities all around the bay area. we'll get to some of those memorial day owe vents in just a moment. >> as bob was just saying, kind of cool for the time here. let's take a tour of the bay area with our traffic cameras.

11:08 am
men and women. >> very well said by the membership. this is a day to honor the fallen of the u.s. military, but also to pay some respects to these young men who came out here on saturday to pay their own respects in a special way. reporting from san francisco, mark matthews, nbc bay area news. >> many more remembrances and we'll take you to the south bay and a live look at what's happening right now. this is observing hill memorial park. our pete suratos is there and he'll bring us a live report about this ceremony coming up at 11:30. >> right now we are working to learn more information about the man who barricaded himself inside of a castro valley home this morning. we brought you live breaking coverage on "today in the bay." it finally ended peacefully around 7:30 this morning. this was the scene as it all unfolded about 5:30 at home near the intersection of center

picture from santa rosa where the road is set down because of a hazardous material spill. now, this is actually -- my apologies. this is not live video but a picture that was posted a short time ago by the santa rosa police department. police say this is happening in this the area of pinder road and pine crest drive and we're told that the roads in the area are shut down. police not yet saying what led up to this incident and our team has called into police and the fire department to see what this entails so stay tuned. today is the last of three straight days of vta light rail station closures back to normal tomorrow. this is a stretch of eight stations that are closed for real construction work. buses are being used to cover those stations instead and it takes a little longer so vta recommends checking ahead if you plan to use light rail tomorrow. >> there were more problems at a refinery yesterday as black
11:16 am
smoke was being sent up into the air. this is from may the 5th a few weeks ago when a power outage triggered enough flaring and smoke that people had to evacuation. no evaluations for this weekend's incident and the smoke release was part of the problem of getting the refinery's operations back to normal. >> scary moments in the bay this weekend. if you look closely at that video you can see a buoy, a kite instructor and kite surfer on a jetski had to be rescued by the u.s. coast guard near oyster point marina on saturday night. neither was wearing a life jacket but they were able to grab on to that buoy where they were eventually spotted by the coast guard and rescued. the coast guard did call off a search for a man who jumped off his boat near the antioch bridge this weekend. the 55-year-old antioch man went into the water saturday and hasn't been seen since. sunday's effort to recover his body focused on the east side of the bridge. the sacramento sheriff's office says the man jumped in off an anchored boat to try to get his
11:17 am
hat and never came back up. the accident happened on the same weekend that law enforcement agencies were teaming up for a boating safety operation. >> you need to ask lots of questions at the marina where you put in. just local knowledge and that sort of stuff. you need to have spent some time before you get on the water before you determine where the sandbars are. you need to know if you break down, who do you call. >> the sheriff's department says they are also watching out for drunk boaters this weekend. >> a lot of people are clearly heading out to the water and there are some dangers involved so as memorial day weekend wraps up, the coast guard is reminding nokes to follow safety laws. perhaps most importantly all boats have to have a life jacket for each person on board the boat. kids under the age of 13 should always be wearing a life jacket while they are on a boat and you have to be at least 16 years old to operate one. always have an emergency kit with a flashlight, warm clothing, cell phone and a radio just in case.

11:46 am
