818 Roundup: Five residents arrested in Santa Monica Pier stabbing; Man takes grenade to sheriff’s station; Fire danger warnings

Good morning, 818 readers. It’s Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014.

If you live in the Burbank area, then expect to see a high of 82 and a low of 49, according to the National Weather Service.

Here are the top headlines from the region:

• Five people from Burbank and Glendale, including a teenager, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder Saturday in connection with the double stabbing of two fishermen at the Santa Monica Pier.
  
• The drought in California is putting the Southland at serious danger risk, the Los Angeles Times reported in an interview with Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott, who said: “It really is unprecedented. In my career, I’ve not seen this level. It’s the first [weeks] of January and we’re seeing conditions that would normally be occurring in mid-summer. That’s what we’re up against.”
  
• A man brought a World War II-era practice grenade to the lobby of the Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station, prompting a bomb squad to examine the explosive inside a paper bag and close the station, until it was later rendered safe.
