Antioch Police Department calls for service highlights, Oct. 21-28, 2015

Monday, November 2nd, 2015

From Antioch City Manager Steve Duran’s Weekly Report, dated 10/30/15, as provided by Police Chief Allan Cantando:

– On 10/28/2015 at 10:51 am, officers were dispatched to Super Wine and Liquor at 2958 Delta Fair Blvd. regarding a suspicious circumstance. While investigating this call, officers made contact with 35 year old Joseph Ford. A records check revealed Ford had an outstanding arrest warrant for resisting arrest and assault likely to cause great bodily injury. Ford was placed under arrest and later booked at the county jail.

– On 10/28/2015 at 7:09 pm, officers responded to the JC Penney at 4951 Slatten Ranch Rd. regarding theft suspects being detained by store security. Officers arrived and upon conducting an investigation determined that 33 year old Lawrence Wiley and 34 year old Dawanna Hall entered JC Penney and both selected and concealed merchandise on their persons. Wiley exited the store and waited outside for Hall. Hall went to the registers and attempted to pay for some merchandise, excluding that concealed on her person, with a fraudulent $100 bill. When staff tried to detain Hall for the fraudulent bill and concealed merchandise, Wiley came back inside to assist her. Ultimately, they were both detained by security without incident. Officers arrested Hall and she was released from the scene with a promise to appear. A records check revealed Wiley had a no-bail arrest warrant for theft and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was booked at the county jail.

– On 10/28/2015 at 6:00 pm, officers were dispatched to 2200 Spanos St. for a disturbance. Charles Johnson, 25 years old, was contacted at the apartment and it was determined via a records check that he had an outstanding no bail arrest warrant for assault with a firearm. He was arrested and later booked at the county jail.

– On 10/28/2015 at 4:39 am, officers were dispatched to the 1100 block of “D” St. regarding a subject walking through the neighborhood hitting parked cars. When officers arrived, they found a 37 year old neighborhood resident physically detaining a 25 year old male for attempting to break into his car. The 25 year old male sustained some minor injuries during the detention. He told officers he was trying to break into the car to save the people inside. This did not make any sense since there was no one in the car. The 25 year old male was released pending further investigation and sent to county hospital on a W&I 5150 hold.

– On 10/28/2015 at 4:18 pm, officers contacted 44 year old Stacy Barnes parked in a vehicle at 207 E. 18th St. She was found to have an outstanding arrest warrant for identity theft. She was issued a new court date on a promise to appear and released from the scene.

– On 10/28/2015 at 4:17 am, officers were dispatched to AT&T at 2701 Vern Roberts Circle as the security company monitoring the premises could see a male in the secured yard. Officers located 36 year old Robert Lowther and placed him under arrest without incident for trespassing and an outstanding warrant for possession of a controlled substance. Lowther was later released on a promise to appear.

– On 10/27/2015 at 11:33 pm, officers responded to the 4500 block of Hidden Glen Drive regarding a vehicle collision. When they arrived it was determined a vehicle had struck two parked vehicles. The investigation determined 29 year old Jesus Garcia was the driver of the responsible vehicle and was under the influence of alcohol. Garcia was arrested without incident for DUI and booked at the county jail.

– On 10/27/2015 at 11:08 pm, officers responded to Gas City at 4198 Lone Tree Way regarding the report of a drug deal occurring between occupants of two vehicles. When officers arrived, they contacted 23 year old Patric West. Officers observed marijuana and a scale on the floor board of his vehicle. West was detained and a search of the vehicle ultimately yielded approximately 200 grams of marijuana, 70 grams of Ecstasy, Xanax, Adderall, scales, baggies, and US currency. West was taken into custody without incident. It was determined West was out on bail for a prior drug sales case. West was booked at the county jail for possession for sale of controlled substances and committing a felony while out on bail.

– On 10/27/2015 at 10:03 pm, an officer made a traffic stop at Auto Center Dr. and Mahogany Way on a vehicle. The officer contacted the driver, 49 year old John Moore. A records check determined Moore had an outstanding felony arrest warrant charging auto theft. He was also determined to be on probation. Moore was arrested for the warrant and his person and vehicle were searched. The search of his vehicle yielded .4 grams of heroin and 1.5 grams of methamphetamine. Moore was booked at the county jail and the vehicle was towed and stored.

– Please see below for a shooting on this date, which was not included in the City Manager’s Weekly Report.

– On 10/27/15 at 2:00 am, officers conducted a license plate check on a vehicle traveling on William Reed Way. Dispatch advised the vehicle was reported stolen out of Pittsburg PD.

Parker was booked into County Jail and Standifer (the passenger) was released.

– On 10/26 at 7:15 pm, an officer located a vehicle abandoned on the roadway at E 18th Street near Hargrove. The vehicle was stolen out of Pittsburg. While waiting for the victim to respond the officer contacted 32 year old Jon Ayala who was standing nearby watching. Ayala was interviewed and admitted to driving the vehicle and that he had run out of gas, leaving the car on the roadway. Ayala said he knew the vehicle was stolen but he was not the person who stole it. He was taken into custody and sent to County Jail.

– On 10/26/15 at 7:30 pm, a resident on Harding Way returned home to find 35 year old Jamal Bolanos inside his vehicle attempting to steal it.

Bolanos was detained by officers and eventually arrested for attempted car theft. He was booked at the county jail.

– On 10/26/15 at 4:30 pm, a 28 year old male brokered a deal on Craigslist and met the “sellers” in the mall parking lot on Somersville Road to buy a PS4 console. The suspects arrived in a grey Dodge Intrepid and an adult male exited to contact the victim. The male held the victim and gunpoint, demanding his money, taking $400.00. The suspect got back into the car with another male and fled the area. The victim was not able to get a license plate number. A BOLO was completed with the information we had, and the investigation is ongoing. No injuries were incurred by the victim.

– On 10/26/15 at 4:00 am, officers responded to Mark Twain Drive for the report of a solo vehicle collision. While enroute, dispatch advised the vehicle was reported as a carjacked vehicle out of Pittsburg PD. A caller provided a brief description of one of the subjects seen leaving the vehicle. An officer and his K-9 partner conducted a track from the vehicle, which led to 18 year old Rex Ronquillo who was located two blocks away and matched the description provided. Ronquillo had minor injuries due to the crash and was taken into custody without incident. Pittsburg PD advised that Ronquillo was already wanted by their agency for unrelated charges. Ronquillo was taken to a local hospital for medical clearance and later booked into County Jail.

– On 10/26/15 at 2:15 am, an officer was travelling on Lone Tree Way approaching the entrance to the water park when he noticed a Ford Mustang spinning uncontrollably in the middle of the intersection.

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.
