ANTIOCH — Isabella Collins vividly remembers the cold late December day when her brother Angelo, overcome with anxiety and paranoia, spun into a mental health crisis, prompting her to call 911.But the responding officers were not intervention specialists and were ill-equipped to deal with a mental health emergency. Within minutes, the Antioch officers physically restrained Angelo Quinto and he soon went limp on the hardwood floor, his family said. Three days later the 30-year-old Navy veteran died in a hospital.“I asked if there was somebody else that I could have called and a lot of people, everybody, said that I did the right thing,” Collins said. “But I’ve often said that the right thing wouldn’t have killed my brother.”Collins, speaking to a crowd Monday at a city of Antioch press conference on mental health emergency calls, said she has since regretted making that call.“It’s a regret that I will live with forever,” she said.At the time there were no other opti...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Royals LHP Ryan Yarbrough was placed on the 15-day injured list with what was classified as “head fractures” after taking a 106-mph line drive off the right side of his face Sunday.
