Antioch Police Chief announces declining crime statistics, invites public to hear complete report at Tues. night Council meeting

Monday, October 26th, 2015

By Allan Cantando, Chief of Police, Antioch Police Department

The City of Antioch has continued its trend of declining crime stats since the beginning of the calendar year. As we end the third quarter of 2015, both total violent crime and total property crime has experienced double digit decreases when compared to the same time period from the year prior. This is in large part due to our continued support from the community and strong partnerships with groups like our Crime Prevention Commission and Neighborhood Watch.

In addition to dropping crime rates, proactive enforcement across the city, including traffic enforcement, has continued in 2015 which has contributed to an increase in total arrests by 17% over last year. With the combination of declining crime and increased enforcement, the Antioch Police Department is enjoying one of its most productive years in the last decade.

For complete details of these and other police related statistics for 2015, the community is invited to hear a full report at the upcoming City Council Meeting on October 27th at the Antioch City Hall.

We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to the businesses, community groups, and citizens of Antioch for their ardent support as we continue to proudly serve this city. Thank you.

The council meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. and can also be viewed on Comcast Channel 24 or via livestreaming on the city’s website, www.ci.antioch.ca.us.

Pittsburg woman killed, two Antioch men injured in car accident on Pittsburg-Antioch Highway, Thursday night

Saturday, October 24th, 2015

By Acting Lieutenant Tom Fuhrmann, Antioch Police Investigations Bureau

On Thursday, October 22, 2015 at 10:47 PM, two Antioch Police Officers in an Antioch Police car were working a stolen vehicle assignment with allied agencies. At this time they saw a Lexus traveling eastbound on E. 14th Street near Columbia Street in the city of Pittsburg. The vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed and as the officers attempted to catch up to the Lexus, it continued eastbound in the 2700 block of the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway. Shortly after the Lexus passed through the intersection of Loveridge Road the vehicle went out of control, struck a telephone pole, rolled and came to rest on its roof. Two occupants were ejected from the vehicle and a third was able to free himself and crawl out.

Life saving measures were attempted on a 25-year-old female Pittsburg resident, but were unsuccessful and she was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene. The two other occupants are both male and residents of Antioch (ages 26 and 21). They were both transported to an area hospital where they were admitted and expected to recover from their injuries. No other vehicles were involved in this collision. No arrests have been made as the case is still under investigation.

Due to a downed PG&E pole the road wass closed until approximately noon, Friday.

The case is still being investigated by the Antioch Police Department, Pittsburg Police Department and the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office. No further information will be released at this time.

Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to call Detective Vanderpool with the Antioch Police Department at (925) 779-6988. You may also text a tip to 274637 (CRIMES) using key word ANTIOCH.

Judge dismisses case against Antioch Police in shooting death of Antioch man in 2012

Wednesday, October 21st, 2015

By Captain Tammany Brooks, Antioch Police Support Services Division

Tragically, on June 28, 2012, Denny Gonzales lost his life in the City of Antioch in a confrontation with the City of Antioch police. Gonzales, a local barber, who was later found to have been emotionally distraught and significantly intoxicated, was shot and killed when he challenged Antioch Police Department (APD) officers with a firearm in front of his Antioch home. On that date, Gonzales had made numerous statements to the police that clearly indicated he was homicidal, including comments that he was going to kill a police officer and other threats. APD officers then located Gonzales at his home in Antioch and started the process of gathering police resources, cordoning off the area, surrounding Gonzales’ house and warning nearby residents, to protect officers and the public.

While the APD was putting the necessary resources into place, Gonzales came out onto his driveway voluntarily and unannounced, with a firearm in his right hand and with unknown intentions. When nearby APD officers ordered Gonzales to drop the firearm, Gonzales did not drop the firearm, instead making a movement with his right arm and pointing the firearm at officers while he attempted to move back towards the cover of his garage. As the lives of the nearby officers were in imminent danger at that point, deadly force was used, killing Gonzales. Video of the incident taken from a fixed wing CHP plane clearly demonstrated that Gonzales pointed his weapon towards officers in this incident.

In 2013, the wife of Gonzales and his young daughter filed a lawsuit against the City of Antioch for claimed civil rights violations and negligence.

Yesterday, after an extensively briefed and argued Motion for Summary Judgment filed by the City to challenge the sufficiency of the allegations against them, Judge Westmore of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, ruled in favor of the City of Antioch on all claims, dismissing this lawsuit. Judge Westmore found that “a reasonable officer at the scene would have reasonably believed that Mr. Gonzales posed a threat of serious physical harm to him or his fellow officers, justifying the use of deadly force.” Pgs. 29-30. Judge Westmore went on to state that “the undisputed evidence shows that the officers acted reasonably under the totality of the circumstances, and the City, therefore, faces no liability for the officers’ conduct.” Pg. 30. Judge Westmore’s extensive Order is attached.

Lead trial attorney for the City, Noah G. Blechman, Esq., from the McNamara Law Firm in Walnut Creek, praised the ruling by the Court.

“The parties laid out all the relevant evidence for the Court and Judge Westmore made the right decision in this unfortunate case,” he stated. “When an individual with homicidal intentions comes out in public with a firearm and challenges officers, federal and state law permits a police officer to deploy deadly force to protect themselves, as well as to protect the public, from imminent death or serious injury. The Court rightly found that the involved officers of the Antioch Police Department and the tactical supervisors involved acted reasonably and appropriately throughout this incident. Judge Westmore’s ruling is clear vindication for those involved officers who were face to face with a deadly situation and acted in accordance with their extensive training and in conformity with the law.”

The City of Antioch wishes to express their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Denny Gonzales who have suffered from this unfortunate incident. The City of Antioch also wants to praise the actions of those involved officers and supervisors for their efforts which no doubt likely saved the lives the others on June 28, 2012.
