Ventura County Sheriff's Department On July 7, 2010 at approximately 2:00 PM a helicopter was requested for a victim who was stranded on a cliff in the Santa Monica Mountains, overlooking the ocean, near Sycamore Cyn. Upon arrival the helicopter crew noticed that a young girl was stranded approximately 200 feet up the cliff side clinging to a rock outcropping. The girl’s father had climbed the rocky cliff but was only able to ascend to within 40 feet of his daughter. A California State Park Ranger had climbed up to her location and was helping her remain calm while sizing up the rescue options. The Sheriff’s Department helicopter, piloted by Kim Bergeson responded with a rescue crew comprised of AMR Paramedic Vanvlymen, Fire Captain Monday, Fire Fighter Golden and Sheriff’s Sergeant Underlin. Fire Fighter Golden was hoisted out of the hovering helicopter approximately 100 feet down to the stranded girl to assess her condition. Golden was able to cling to the rock face next to the victim and communicate to the helicopter that the victim was uninjured but unable to climb down due to the unstable rock conditions. Fire Fighter Golden was able to attach a rescue rope to a small bush that was growing out of the rock and both the girl and the ranger were able to safely descend the cliff face with the aid of the rope to waiting emergency personnel. Golden was then able to untie the rescue rope from the small bush and he was hoisted back into the helicopter. While rock climbing can be a safe activity, it requires proper safety equipment and training. Rock conditions along the Pacific Coast in Ventura County are inherently unsafe due to the unstable shale rock and a lack of safe areas where proper climbing equipment can be utilized. Location: Santa Monica Mountains, Sycamore Cyn. Malibu CA Officer Preparing Release: Sergeant F. Underlin |

Ventura County Sheriff's Department On June 5, 2010, Moorpark Police Detectives concluded a lengthy investigation culminating in the arrest of four juvenile suspects, who were responsible for 27 separate acts of graffiti vandalism throughout various locations in the City of Moorpark, over the period of the past 1½ years. The damage caused by the suspects amounted to approximately $50,000. All four juveniles were lodged in juvenile hall and are awaiting court proceedings related to their crimes. In its mission to aggressively address the problem of graffiti in the community, as well as the rising costs associated with the investigation and cleanup of graffiti damage, the City of Moorpark began using a municipal ordinance that allows the City to recover its costs. The ordinance allows the City to charge the parents of juvenile graffiti vandalism suspects, or adult suspects, up to $10,000 per chargeable crime in order to recover costs. Bills totaling nearly $20,000 were sent to the parents of the four juvenile suspects. The bills cover the costs spent by police personnel, as well as other City personnel’s time and material to repair damage to City property. The bills do not address the damage to private property, which the suspects will be responsible for if convicted of the crimes. The City of Moorpark and its Police Department are committed to addressing the issue of graffiti vandalism in the community. Doing so is increasingly costly. It is hoped that through this cost recovery program, those persons who commit graffiti vandalism will bear the costs of cleanup and investigation. It is also hoped that the program will be an incentive for graffiti vandals to stop their criminal activity. Location: City of Moorpark, CA Officer Preparing Release: Captain Ron Nelson |

District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced today that Charles Smith aka “Chuck Smith” (DOB 11/17/1949) of Camarillo was sentenced to 180 days in the Ventura County jail and placed on felony probation for three years after pleading guilty to four counts of felony tax evasion. The case against Smith resulted from an investigation by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB). The FTB's investigation revealed Smith and his corporation, C&J T-28 Parts Sales Inc. (located at the Camarillo Airport ), failed to file state tax returns from 2000 to 2008. C&J T-28 Parts Sales Inc. failed to report over $10 million of earned income, and Smith failed to report over $1.8 million in personal earned income. Smith avoided a lengthy prison sentence by filing his delinquent personal and corporate state tax returns, and paying the FTB $313,764 in restitution, prior to his sentencing hearing. The $313,764 consisted of back taxes, interest, penalty assessments, and the costs of the FTB's investigation. Smith also had to pay the Ventura County District Attorney's Office $4,419 for the costs of prosecuting the case. According the FTB, the failure to file income tax returns is part of the $6.5 billion tax gap California faces each year. The tax gap is defined as the difference between the tax that is owed and the tax that is actually paid. |

Ventura County Sheriff's Department After investigating a shooting that occurred on 4-30-10 in the unincorporated area of El Rio, the Sheriff’s Gang Unit arrested two suspects yesterday, 6-25-10, for Assault With a Deadly Weapon and Street Terrorism. The two suspects are believed to belong to a local street gang. On 4-30-2010, at about 3:45 P.M., four victims were walking near the intersection of Vineyard Ave. and Forest Park Blvd. in the unincorporated area of El Rio. While walking, a vehicle occupied by two males passed them. The two males flashed gang signs at the victims and asked them where they were from. The victims believed they were about to be assaulted and ran to Orange Drive. The two males drove after the four victims and caught up to them as they entered a residence in the 100 block of Orange Drive. As the suspect vehicle passed the residence, the suspects fired one round at the victims. Patrol deputies and investigators from the Sheriff’s Gang Unit responded to the scene and were able to recover a shell casing and speak with several witnesses. Over the next week, gang investigators collected enough evidence to identity the driver of the vehicle as Daniel Magana. On 5-10-2010, investigators from the Gang Unit served a search warrant at Magana’s residence in the 2600 block of Colonia Ave. Items recovered from the residence, as well as additional information obtained over the next several weeks, led investigators to identify the second subject as Andrew Robles. On 6-26-10, investigators arrested Robles and Magana for Assault With a Deadly Weapon and Street Terrorism. Investigators served a search warrant at Robles’ residence and recovered a Mac 12 type machine pistol. Investigators are waiting on the analysis of the firearm to determine if it was used in the shooting. Robles remains in custody on $100,000 bail. Magana remains in custody on $200,000 bail.

Local 7-Eleven Stores Work with T.O. Deputies to Issue Coupons to Kids for Good Deeds
Ventura County Sheriff's Department The Thousand Oaks Police Department is teaming up with 7-Eleven to reward kids for doing good deeds in the community. Deputies are rewarding children who do something helpful, practice safety, or deter crime in the community. Youngsters recognized by the police will receive coupons good for a small slurpee that can be redeemed at participating Ventura County 7-Eleven stores. The program, which is designed to promote good citizenship, is in effect for the summer and back-to-school months through December 31, 2010. Since the program's inception in 1995, more than 10 million Operation Chill coupons have been distributed to hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the country in the areas where 7-Eleven operates stores. The Thousand Oaks Police Department began utilizing the Operation Chill program in 2008 to reward youth for their good deeds, as well as enhance their relations with the young citizens of Thousand Oaks. In addition to rewarding good behavior by youth, Operation Chill offers opportunities for deputies to interface with youngsters in non-law-enforcement situations. Deputies use the coupons to reward kids for wearing bicycle helmets, doing good deeds, participating in community activities and organizations, picking up trash, deterring crime, or observing school crossing rules. Operation Chill was developed by 7-Eleven to positively reward and encourage good behavior by kids during the hot summer months when there is often an increase in loitering, shoplifting and graffiti, and to support law enforcement agencies' community relations projects. The success and popularity of Operation Chill has resulted in the program being extended beyond the summer months for local law enforcement officers to use during the school year as well.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department actively investigates and pursues individuals who violate the terms of their registration. Sheriff’s detectives had received information that Frederic Koerner, a convicted sex offender, was allegedly in violation of the terms of his registration. Koerner had been registered as a transient with the Sheriff's Department with no residential address given; however, an investigation disclosed that he had established residence in a motor home in the rear of a church in Ventura and had been paying rent to the church for the last two years. Koerner was located and arrested in the parking lot of the church in Ventura. Candido, also known as Rafael Zetino, was convicted of a sex crime in 1996 and deported to El Salvador in 2000. He subsequently returned to Ventura County and registered as a convicted sex offender with the Sheriff’s Department in 2002. In 2004, he discontinued registration and his whereabouts were unknown. An investigation by sheriff’s detectives determined that he had been working and residing in Oxnard. Candido was arrested at his residence while attempting to hide from detectives in a tree in the backyard. Sheriff's Department detectives actively conduct investigations to verify the residential information provided by convicted sex registrants. Additionally, probation and/or parole searches are also conducted periodically. During a recent sweep, a parolee, William Inscoe, was arrested for an unrelated violation of his parole terms and booked into the Pre-Trial Detention Facility. A second registrant was found to be in violation of the registration process. An investigation into that violation(s) is continuing. Date & Time: June 15, 2010 Officer Preparing Release: Sgt.
