Needs to be more. Oh, and school officials need to call the cops more when strangers wander into the school.
The Pacific Grove man who threatened to kill the principal of P.G. High last year has pleaded guilty to a trespassing charge in exchange for prosecutors dropping three other criminal charges against him. While the crime calls for a maximum of three years in jail, it’s possible he could get a reduced sentence.
Elvin repeatedly trespassed at P.G. schools, including walking inside P.G. Middle with a backpack while class was in session. School officials escorted him from the building but opted not to call police. A week later, after Elvin returned to P.G. High and threatened Garcia, P.G. Police officer Andrea Hill arrested him, and the DA’s office later charged him with the crimes. Earlier in the year, Pacific Grove Unified School District sought a restraining order against Elvin, based on a “credible threat of violence or stalking.” A judge granted the request. He has a lengthy criminal history and has been charged with dozens of crimes, including battery, assault, drug possession, lewd conduct and numerous instances of shoplifting.
