Actor Daniel Stern was charged Monday with soliciting a prostitute last month in Ventura County, with his criminal case scheduled to be heard Tuesday. Stern, 68, best known as Marv Murchins in the "Home Alone" movies and a wannabe cowboy in "City Slickers," was cited by Ventura County sheriff's deputies on Dec. 10 for allegedly soliciting a prostitute at a Camarillo hotel, according to officials. Stern was not arrested at the time but instead issued a citation by investigators.

"everything counts," said Kristina Meris, a spokesperson for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Office of Spill Prevention and Response. "There's wildlife, there's the environment, and people live in these areas," she said. "We want to clean up everything we possibly can as quickly as we can safely."

The Punch Bowls area has long attracted adventurous hikers for its cool waters, but injuries from risky jumps occur frequently, with fatal outcomes also reported.
