Situated in the California bay's waters, Red Rock, also dubbed Treasure Island, covers three counties: Marin, Contra Costa and San Francisco.

RED BANK, Tenn. -- The owner of a shaved ice business was arrested after two employees claimed he spanked them for making mistakes at work. Paul Eugene Levengood, 57, was charged with two counts of sexual battery after the 19-year-old women complained.
