TALKATIVE SUSPECT ENTERS PLEA

A man wounded by a police officer during a traffic stop has entered a plea of not guilty. 29-year-old Jose Vaca is accused of exiting a car on December 19th while holding a rifle, and is charged with attempted murder of a police officer and gang enhancement. Bail was set Thursday at $500 thousand. Vaca had made statements in jailhouse news interviews that prosecutors say could be used in the case against him, and those TV reports have been subpoenaed.
