Family raising funds for “proper service” of 59-year-old Frank Troia suffering from severe brain damage

By Allen D. Payton

The sister of Frank Troia, an Antioch homeless resident, who was injured in a fight with a younger homeless man earlier this month, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for his funeral as he is not expected to survive his injuries. The suspect, 34-year-old Brandon Rowlett, was arrested for attempted homicide. (See related article)

On the GoFundMe page Frank’s sister wrote, “My name is Mary Troia. My brother, Frank Troia, was a victim of assault on November 17, 2025. He was beaten with a weapon and has been hospitalized since. He has severe brain damage and has not regained consciousness. The doctors are giving our family time to come to terms with end of life.

Frank suffered from mental illness and was unhoused at the time of the assault. It occurred in Antioch, CA, and was covered by the Antioch Herald and the East Bay Times. Unfortunately, Frank has no assets and I am asking for any donations to cover any costs associated with proper services. Donations of any amount would be appreciated by my family. God bless you, and if unable to donate, please remember Frank in your prayers.”

Asked about her brother, Mary shared about him and their family, “Frank did attend Antioch High School. However, he did not graduate with his Class of 1984. He got a G.E.D. Frank is the youngest of four children, my brother, John Myers, the oldest, myself, then my sister Janet Troia and he followed her. Frank has a 36-year-old son, Frank, Jr.”

Asked if he was a Marine Corps veteran due to the flag on the wall behind him seen in a photo from Facebook, she replied, “He was not a vet our stepfather was. He is still in critical condition at this time.”

CALIFORNIA — The United States Postal Service’s busiest holiday season is in full swing as its real-time Holiday Mail Counter goes live online, and Postal Service leaders say they are ready to deliver for every American’s holiday mailing and shipping needs.

The Postal Service has made continued investments in network transformation and modernization, boosting the strong and reliable service customers have come to expect throughout the organization’s 250 years of service to the nation. As it expands its role as the nation’s end-to-end carrier of choice, the Postal Service’s improvements in infrastructure, technology, and shipping standards are core components of holiday readiness in California and across the nation.

The holiday season is the busiest time of year for the Postal Service and one of the most critical opportunities to serve communities in California. Throughout its 250 years of service, the organization has evolved from horseback and steamships to the Next Generation Delivery Vehicles serving communities today. Thanks to investments made in California and across the country, and the dedication of the USPS workforce, the Postal Service is prepared to deliver this holiday season reliably, quickly, and affordably.

“The Postal Service plans throughout the year to deliver the nation’s mail and packages during the high-volume holiday season and we are well prepared and ready to deliver for the American public,” said Postmaster General and CEO David Steiner. “For the past several years, the Postal Service has been gaining market share in our package business, which reflects the strong value and excellent portfolio of the shipping options we provide. We expect to see a continuation of this trend in the coming holiday period and to continue winning a larger share of the nation’s shipping business.”

The Postal Service has opened hundreds of expanded facilities with new state-of-the-art sorting machines, bringing the Postal Service total to 614 packaging sorting machines across the country. These investments have resulted in a daily processing capacity of approximately 88 million packages – up from 60 million last holiday season. The Postal Service also plans to hire 14,000 temporary employees to support the holiday season, complement the full-time workforce, and ensure the Postal Service can handle the extra holiday volume across the country.

The Postal Service remains the most affordable way to send mail and packages. This holiday season, customers can expect their mail and packages to be delivered, on average, in less than three days. For shipping within the same regional service areas, holiday customers can expect a 2–3-day turnaround.

Local hours at all post offices are available at USPS.com.

The Postal Service has also launched a live holiday counter, keeping tally of how many mail pieces and packages have been accepted into the network this holiday season.

By Ted Asregadoo, PIO, Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office

Martinez, California – The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025, that a suspect in possession of child sexual abuse material faces a four-count felony complaint.

32-year-old Ryan Allen Fenton of Antioch (born 6/13/1993) was arrested in Antioch Tuesday by Walnut Creek Police on a warrant related to a complaint the District Attorney filed with the court on February 3rd, 2025. The complaint was amended and refiled on November 25th after investigators with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force found additional evidence Fenton was in possession of child sexual abuse material.

Fenton was arraigned Wednesday in Superior Court in Martinez at 10:30 am on the following:

· Two felony counts for possessing over 600 images of child or youth pornography on or about October 23rd, 2024, and November 25th, 2025 [PC 311.11(c)(1)].

District Attorney Diana Becton said, “The possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) is not a victimless crime; it is an act that perpetuates the sexual abuse of children and fuels a criminal enterprise. As District Attorney, my office treats the possession of CSAM with the utmost gravity, recognizing that every image and video represents an assault on a child.”

Fenton’s preliminary hearing is set for December 9th at 8:30 am at the A.F. Bray courthouse in Martinez in Department 6. He remains in custody at the Martinez Detention Facility on a $200,000 bond.

Walnut Creek PD Bomb Squad, Con Fire respond

By Lt. Drew Olson, Walnut Creek Police Department

This morning, Tuesday, November 25, 2025, Walnut Creek Police Detectives, in coordination with the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, served a search warrant at a residence in the 1600 block of Lipton Street in Antioch as part of an ongoing investigation.

One individual was arrested on suspicion of possession of child pornography.

During the search, detectives discovered suspected illegal fireworks. The WCPD Bomb Squad was requested to respond for safe collection and assessment. Upon arrival, bomb technicians identified materials requiring further evaluation, prompting a response from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District’s Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) team.

Antioch Police posted a warning on social media with the message, “Avoid the area of Lipton Street at Trembath Lane due to an active hazmat response. Earlier this morning, a neighboring agency investigating in the area located items of concern. Out of an abundance of caution, the bomb squad was notified, and they are currently on scene. At this time, we do not believe there is any threat to the public.”

Both the WCPD Bomb Squad and CFD Hazmat have since cleared the scene. There is no ongoing threat to public safety. No further details are being released at this time due to the active nature of the investigation.

In addition to forfeiting game against Liberty High School; includes “antibullying training…community service hours” for “entire team”

“…privacy and confidentiality prevent us from providing specific details regarding the disciplinary measures taken…” – Principal Jimno

By Allen D. Payton

In a recent letter to parents and the community, Antioch High School Principal John Jimno said the varsity team members who participated in a bullying incident and the coaching staff responsible for oversight at the time have been disciplined.

The “appropriate discipline” is in response to the incident, in what some in the community have claimed involved a special needs student, and was in addition to Jimno forfeiting the team’s game against the Liberty High School Lions on Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025, as previously reported.

Jimno did not share his letter with the media and wouldn’t respond to questions asking for details about the discipline he meted out to both the players and coaching staff. But he did share a list of who and how the discipline was administered and said that the “list is not exhaustive.”

The letter reads:

Dear Antioch Community,

As you know, two weeks ago the Antioch High School leadership team, in coordination with the Antioch District Office, made the difficult decision to cancel the football game against Liberty High School. This decision was made following a video that depicted numerous students on the team engaging in behavior in violation of the District’s Code of Conduct. Since that time, we understand that many in our community have sought answers regarding the nature of the violation and whether disciplinary action was taken.

At the time of the cancellation, the investigation into the incident, and those responsible, was just beginning. However, the video itself made clear that misconduct occurred. We determined that allowing the team to play the game against Liberty High School would not reflect the values of Antioch High School and the District expect from the program and their athletes. Our priority was to make certain that those involved, and the team as a whole, recognized the gravity of the actions captured in the video and their impact.

While the investigation remains ongoing, we can provide a brief update on where the matter stands today. Through cooperation with members of the Antioch High School football team, we have identified many of the students involved. We have also identified a coach who potentially had supervisory responsibility at the time of the incident, and the District is reviewing this matter with utmost seriousness.

Although privacy and confidentiality prevent us from providing specific details regarding the disciplinary measures taken, we can confirm the following measures are in place:

• Appropriate discipline has been implemented for the players found to have violated District policy.
• Appropriate discipline has been implemented for any coaching staff found to be responsible for oversight at the time of the incident.
• The entire football team participated in a restorative circle to understand the impact of this incident and this type of conduct.
• The entire Antioch High School football team has participated in antibullying training. Those players identified to have been involved have participated in additional antibullying training.
• Each member of the Antioch High School football team has begun and will complete community service hours.

This list is not exhaustive, but it reflects the seriousness with which Antioch High School and District leadership have addressed this situation. We also want to acknowledge the commendable leadership demonstrated by some members of the football team. These students recognized the inappropriateness of the incident, and despite difficulty of speaking up, came forward and took responsibility. Their honesty and transparency about the incident is commendable.

Bullying is and will never be tolerated at Antioch High School or with the District. If you know of anyone being bullied, or anyone engaging in bullying, please reach out to me directly. I will act immediately to ensure that no student endures such behavior in our school community.

Antioch High School must always remain a safe environment where students can enjoy their teenage years, build lasting friendships, and prepare for future success.

Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this situation.

Sincerely,

John Jimno

Principal
