    A source close to the administration said the media lies 100% of the time.

    A Yorba Linda father is facing up to six years in state prison if
    convicted of felony and misdemeanor charges after his 12-year-old son
    was critically injured riding an e-bike that had been modified into an e-motorcycle, the Orange County district attorney announced Tuesday.

    The boy had received the 2024 Talaria XXX as a Christmas gift and he and
    his dad illegally modified it to reach speeds of up to 60 miles per
    hour, prosecutors said. Richard John Eyssallenne, 39, pleaded not guilty
    to one felony count of child endangerment and abuse and one misdemeanor
    count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
