No words.

The woman in her 40s said she was out walking at around 7:30 a.m. when she was being followed by a male.

“During that encounter, the male subject produced a handgun,” said deputy spokesperson Andy Rosas. “The male basically walked her over to a tree and proceeded to tie her up to the tree. And shortly thereafter, the male walked away.”

The man just left on foot. She said she was not injured, assaulted or robbed.

She is found a few hours later. She was taken to the hospital for a checkup.

The culprit was described as a Hispanic male adult in his 30s who was wearing a green hat and grey sweater. He had a tattoo on the right side of his neck with the first letter being the letter “Z.”

Rec trail still a dangerous place to be at night.

The Monterey Police Department announced that David Thomas, 65, was booked into jail with a bail set at $1 million.

The Monterey Police responded last week to a report of a man being attacked and severely injured near Reeside Avenue and the Recreation Trail. The person reporting the incident was a passerby who the victim had flagged down for help police said. The victim said a man with a crowbar or similar weapon attacked him.

Thomas was also previously arrested in November for felony assault with a deadly weapon after he struck a person who was experiencing homelessness with an expandable metal baton. The victim in that incident was not seriously injured. A witness reported the November incident and said Thomas claimed the victim was drinking alcohol in public. Thomas said he was acting in self-defense after the victim called him a racial slur. Ultimately, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor and was sentenced to 40 days in jail and a year of probation.

Glen Blevins Gets Prison For Beating Laborer

Blevins attended P.G. High

Judge Timothy Roberts said he was aware of ongoing federal and state court cases addressing the inadequacy of mental health care in California’s prisons.

However, he said, attempts to find an alternative program for Glenn Blevins were unsuccessful and he was too much of a danger to release.

Roberts also rejected Blevins’ request to withdraw his no-contest plea, saying it was too late in the case. Blevins said he agreed to the plea bargain only because he’d been told he would be granted probation.

The judge said the viciousness of his crime, and Blevins’ increasingly serious arrest record, made him an inappropriate candidate for probation.

Blevins was once from P.G.

State doctors have decided a mentally ill Monterey man charged with beating a day laborer on Fort Ord is now competent to face trial.

Judge Timothy Roberts said Glenn Blevins would be transported to Monterey County Jail from Atascadero State Mental Hospital. Doctors at Atascadero informed the court Blevins’ competency had been restored through treatment, the judge said this morning.

He is charged with an Aug. 10 attack on Artemio Santiago Garcia, 30. According to Marina police, Blevins chose Garcia from a group of day laborers in Seaside on the pretext that he needed some work done. He then allegedly drove his white pickup to an abandoned area of Fort Ord, where he beat Santiago Garcia to the point of unconsciousness.

Man Accused Of Beating Day Laborer Was From P.G.

Glenn Blevins was found mentally incompetent to stand trial this month in connection with an attack on a day laborer on Fort Ord. Psychiatrist Taylor Fithian concluded paranoid schizophrenia had left the 27-year-old unable to understand the court proceedings and help with his own defense.

He was transferred from Forest Grove Middle School in Pacific Grove to a “therapeutic school” at Gambetta Middle School in Castroville. Doctors first tried antidepressants and later, after diagnosing him as bipolar, lithium.

Neither worked well, Joyce Blevins said, because he had been misdiagnosed. At the time, she said, doctors did not believe schizophrenia could present itself in young children, a school of thought that is now changing.

Her son eventually made his way to Pacific Grove High School, where he was kicked out for threatening a teacher and the principal. He did not graduate, though he later earned his equivalency degree.
