Cop Stabbing Case Leads To Search Warrants

Posted on by

Most interesting is that the search warrants are on the cop.

Investigators said they have narrowed the case down to three possible scenarios to answer what happened on July 31:

“1. Gill was stabbed as he reported. 2. Gill was stabbed by someone he knows and does not want to say what happened because it might damage his career. 3. Gill injured himself.”

The night of the stabbing, officers asked Gill if he had any enemies who would want to hurt him. Gill replied that he had slept with fellow Seaside police officers’ wives, had affairs with married women, and dated 911 dispatchers, the warrant stated.

“During the course of a year, Gill said he might date 30 to 40 women,” the warrant stated

District Attorney investigators seized Gill’s cell phones and computer to look for emails, text messages and other communications from women Gill dated that could help identify a former lover who would be motivated to attack the officer.

Gill told officers that a man banged on his backdoor, stabbed him as soon as he opened the door, and fled in a car driven by a second man.

“Gill was dressed in pajama bottoms, no shirt, and wore a head-mounted flashlight around his head,” the search warrant states. “Gill had a handgun holstered on his right hip and a Seaside PD badge on his left hip. There was a bandage on Gill’s upper left chest.”

Love Is . . Posting Your Bail But Not Your Wife’s

Oh, and the family ties with his brother.

Wright was released from Monterey County Jail after he posted bail for himself, but not his wife.

 

In May, FBI agents found numerous sex toys in his backyard and thousands of child porn photos and videos on his work computer. He was released from jail on a $100,000 bail.

 

Wright met his wife in Thailand and brought her to Monterey to be married in 2009, police said.

 

His brother, John Albert Wright, is a registered child sex offender. The 35-year-old’s address is listed at his parent’s house on Sinex Avenue in Pacific Grove, but he actually lives in Thailand, police said. John Wright was convicted of lewd acts with a child under 14 years old.

Salinas Loses .5 Million Dollars From “Green Vehicles” Involvement

Posted on by

City governments need to stay out of private sector businesses.

A Salinas car manufacturing company that was expected to build environmentally friendly electric cars and create new jobs folded before almost any vehicles could run off the assembly line.

The city of Salinas had invested more than half a million dollars in Green Vehicles, an electric car start-up company.

All of that money is now gone, according to Green Vehicles President and Co-Founder Mike Ryan.

Thing is butt ugly, too.
Green Vehicles Closes
From the San Jose Mercury in 2010. Reads like a sham pitch full of eco-babble. No mention of true environmental progresses such as recyclable building materials or support for the vendors in China (!!) to improve their pollution output.

The first Triac prototypes were made in China, but the company moved manufacturing operations to California to lower its carbon footprint as soon as it got funding from the energy commission. Building the Triac in the state with the greatest market for electric vehicles will minimize the cost of transporting materials and vehicles, Ryan said.

Green Vehicles is also working on an online site that tracks the company’s greenhouse gas emissions and waste. “I want people to see these kinds of metrics,” Ryan said.

Pollacci Plea Bargains In Rape Trial

Posted on by

Surprised?

Pollacci made his plea the same day his trial was set to begin. Nine women were scheduled to testify that they were raped by the Pebble Beach man over the past three decades.

In 2008, a woman went into a Pacific Grove liquor store where Pollacci worked to buy water, prosecutor Michael Breeden said. Pollacci asked the woman to go on a lunch date with him and she agreed.

“They went to lunch a second time, and he took her to the travel trailer,” Breeden said. “She did not want to go in. He raped her once they were inside.”

In April 2007, he went on a dinner date with another woman and also forced her into his parent’s travel trailer and raped her, Breeden said. The trailer was parked at the Monterey airport at the time.
