School Kid On Motorized Scooter Hurt In Crash With Car

Posted on by

No details, but all three 4-way intersections around PG Middle School are 4 way stops. Motorized scooters and bicycles can often be seen riding on sidewalks.

A middle school student in Pacific Grove was injured in a collision with a car while riding a motorized scooter to school on the first day of classes, prompting concerns about traffic safety.

The seventh grader collided with a Mercedes, leaving a dent on the car and a gash on the windshield, according to another witness, Susannah Ashton.

“He was in the fetal position on his left side, and he just kept screaming and saying, it hurt. It hurt, it hurt,” Falknor said.

Ashton also expressed concerns about children riding motorized scooters, saying, “It’s just ridiculous. Kids don’t need to be on what’s essentially a motorcycle without any kind of license or regulation. And we just we need we need protections for the kids for that. But we also need better crosswalks and stop signs.”

At approximately 7:40 AM on July 17, 2025, Pacific Grove Police Officers responded to a report of a burglary that had occurred during the early morning hours at Pacific Grove Middle School, located at 835 Forest Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered signs of forced entry into the school’s cafeteria through a broken window.
The suspects—later identified as 23-year-old Gabriel Mario Guertin and 22-year-old Zachary Shelby Malone (residents of Pacific Grove) were arrested later that afternoon and charged with felony violations of California Penal Code Section 459 (Burglary) and Section 182 (Conspiracy).
Both Guertin and Malone have extensive prior arrest histories, and both were on active probation and/or supervised release. Guertin has been previously arrested for felony and misdemeanor domestic violence, false imprisonment, violations of probation, DUI, providing false information to a peace officer, and resisting or delaying an officer.
Malone’s history includes arrests for vandalism, DUI, resisting or delaying an officer, disorderly conduct, battery, loitering, child abuse, and criminal conspiracy. Notably, Malone had also been arrested just two days prior in connection with an unrelated battery investigation.

The investigation revealed that several money tills inside the cafeteria had been opened and ransacked, though no money was reported stolen. However, a large quantity of food and food products was found to be missing from a walk-in refrigerator. The officers later located the large quantity of food that was dropped near Hillcrest Avenue.

Consistent Criminal Riley Elvin Might Get 3 Years

Needs to be more. Oh, and school officials need to call the cops more when strangers wander into the school.

Riley Elvin

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.

P.G. Schools Hand Over Sex Ed To Baby Killers

Should be from the county health department or developed by the school district, not pass the buck to a divisive organization.

Next up, drugs and alcohol in health class with lessons from Bev-Mo.

Sex-Ed

 

Resident Mike Gibbs — who reviewed parts of the sex
ed curricula at the district office — said he was surprised to find that the course contained internet links to Planned Parenthood pages on sex toys with photos and descriptions on how to use them, and a “How do you know how to orgasm?” tutorial, which contained a video.

Following the complaints that have occurred over the past  month, a Planned Parenthood Mar Monte official sent a terse message to PGUSD saying it’s not allowed to let the public see the course.

Shold be a quick one for the school tresapasser.

Elvin, who court records show has a lengthy criminal record and a history of mental illness and drug use, was charged with felony criminal threats and a misdemeanor
of illegally entering school grounds. He remains in Monterey County Jail.

While Elvin has pleaded not guilty to the crimes, his deputy public defender during a Dec. 6 court hearing in Salinas expressed doubt as to his competency and requested that he be required to undergo a psychiatric examination. Monterey County Superior Court Judge Pamela Butler agreed.

Riley Elvin Enters P.G. Middle School

What are the schools doing to keep the children and faculty safe when whackos like this are free to wander in? Are they more interested in Elvin’s pronouns than why he is there?

School officials said Elvin first walked onto the high school campus Nov. 14 at about 10:25 a.m. and entered the middle school about 20 minutes later. He walked around upstairs while class was in session and reportedly told school staff he was there to inquire about his daughter, “Lucifer,”

Is The Front Of The Middle School Safe From Traffic?

If the parents think it’s not safe, drop them off somewhere else – they are not forced to use the front of the school, though it might be horrifying for them to not have their little snowflakes out of their sight.

Judy Smith’s children attend Pacific Grove Middle School, and she says Forest Avenue is simply too narrow, and busy for drop-off zones. Standing outside of the school, looking at a parade of cars drive by, Smith says, “This just makes no sense having it here on a busy street like this.”

The Center for Investigative Action wanted to know just how dangerous Forrest Avenue is, so we looked at the accident rates for the past ten years. Out of the 440 accidents on the roadway, only five were in front of the school. Pacific Grove Police Chief Darius Engles says, “The road is really no less safe than any of the roads in Pacific Grove.”

Swine Flu Shows Up In P.G.M.S. Student

Posted on by

Teachers Union no doubt will be asking for a raise to monitor signs of flu symptoms.

The student became sick over the weekend and the doctor faxed the school Wednesday the confirmation of a Type A influenza diagnosis. Type A influenza can be caused by different viruses, but in recent months most cases have been traced to the H1N1 virus.

Administrators at Pacific Grove Unified School District are reviewing precautions normally taken during the flu season with an increased level of awareness, said Cindy Gallo, director of student services. But despite apparent heightened concerns, only two people contacted her after she put out a statement announcing the possible case of swine flu.

Lawsuit Against City In Middle School Death

Just a few years ago drop offs were banned on the west side of Forest. Someone was thinking about the danger then.

“The drop-off/pickup area in front of Pacific Grove Middle School was set up in a dangerous location,” the claim contends.

But moving the drop-off area doesn’t mean another tragedy won’t occur, Blakely said. “An out-of-control driver on any of those streets could cause the same accident,” he said.

The Woodses are seeking at least $3 million in the claim, which was received by the city Nov. 21. The city, which has 45 days to respond, will likely deny the claim, at which point Brady said the family might file a lawsuit. “We are waiting for the city’s next move,” Brady said.

Joel Woods, 35, was attempting to enter his parked car on Forest Avenue by Pacific Grove Middle School at about noon when he was struck by a car driven by Deborah King, 51, of Monterey, according to Pacific Grove police.

King was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and is being held on $30,000 bail. Earlier reports that King was suspected of drunken driving were incorrect. The ongoing investigation may lead to more serious charges, said Cmdr. John Nyunt.
