Apparently the worst is over for Pyramid Lake, where 126,000 gallons of crude oil gushed out of a broken pipeline on an unstable hillside....

Most of the oil has been sucked into barrels and stored, according a representative from the United States Forest Service.

There were health concerns after the spill, especially after officials rescued a duck Tuesday which seemed to be affected, but the duck is just "feisty" according to Forest Service spokesman Robert Brady.

A Canyon Country man, Russel Braden, was arrested for failing to appear in court for a narcotics progress report.  It turns out he is also the suspect in three recent Santa Clarita Bank robberies....

No one was injured in the three robberies -- one at the Citibank on Soledad Canyon on January 10th, the Union Bank on Lyons Avenue on March 10th, and the Citibank on Lyons Avenue on March 15th. 

Witnesses and security cameras show a man with a shaved head and a mustache as the robber, which matches Braden's profile.
