21-SF-014538-A | The People of the State of California vs. Aldon Jacarus Ramon Smith

The question that remains unanswered by Candidate for re-election Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos is, what time on December 6, 2021 did the California Highway Patrol transport Aldon Smith to San Mateo County Jail? Why did you not provide the Residents of SMC with his Booking Photo and a Press Release of his DUI arrest. What happened with him for the missing 5 hours before he finally blew a BAC .288

The public has a right to know, this is a “Those Who Matter” case.

Hon. Judge Kevin E. Dunleavy, x NFL Player Aldon Smith and SCRAM device.

By Michael G. Stogner

21-SM-014538-A

Attorney Joshua Bentley and Aldon Smith

I’m just curious what did the Honorable Judge Kevin E. Dunleavy assume or expect the SCRAM device on Aldon Smith’s leg to accomplish as a condition of Bond.

In 2018 Aldon Smith was arrested for a DUI with a BAC of .40 which is FIVE times the legal limit. By the way he was wearing a SCRAM at the time and it worked just fine.

Defense Attorney Josh Bentley knew this information, did he share this with Judge Dunleavy?

Law Enforcement Reform Nathan Ballard Arrested.

By Michael G. Stogner

Why is the Public just now hearing about this arrest that occurred on October 20, 2020 by Napa County Sheriff Office?

Does CPS have the Children?

Was the Child who was allegedly the victim of Attempted Murder a boy or girl?

Why did it take the Napa County Sheriff Office two days to arrest Nathan Ballard?

Did the Napa Sheriff Office make the Arrest Information available in the public daily Log Records?

A major part of Law Enforcement Reform is to have Honesty in Law Enforcement. No Special Treatment for “Those Who Matter.” Domestic Violence Charges are some of the easier cases to simply disappear in the Justice System. The best way to get rid of them is not to arrest the Special Person in the first place. San Mateo County Examples include San Mateo County Sheriff Lt. Kristina Bell Domestic Violence 911 call to the Redwood City Police Department by her partner. After several hours in the home, RWCPD made No Arrest and No Charges were filed even though the District Attorney knew about the 911 call and police response.

RWCPD 911 DV Call for SMCSO Lt. Kristina Bell

The next easiest way to get rid of the Domestic Violence Arrest is to NOT file charges even after that Special Person was arrested twice in 7 days by the Menlo Park Police Department. David Bohannon II arrested twice for D.V. by MPPD. No Charges Filed, No Court Appearance of course, No nothing.

MPPD DV Arrest David Bohannon II twice No Charges

The next easiest way to get rid of Domestic Violence Charges after a 17.5 Hour standoff with two different Swat Teams outside your Redwood City home, before the Redwood City Police arrest you unharmed. The Special Person being a retired Redwood City Police Officer, is to file the charges 30 days after the fact to give plenty of time to communicate with and let the victim see how the system really works. Charges got so diluted and case just disappeared.

James (Jim) McGee DV Swat Standoff RWC

Nate Ballard was Arrested on October 20, 2020 by the Napa County Sheriff’s Office. Most reasonable people would consider placing a pillow over a Childs face and laying with your full body weight on top of the pillow to be ATTEMPTED MURDER.

Notice the date this occurred and when the public first heard about it. October 17, 2020 and December 3, 2020. This is a good example of the Two Americas that exist in the Law Enforcement and Justice Industry in America. Also known as “Those Who Matter”

On Thursday, Napa County authorities filed two domestic violence charges against veteran political strategist Nathan Ballard, including that he tried to suffocate a child with a pillow at a local resort in October.

Officials with the Napa County Sheriff’s Department say the incident in question occurred on Oct. 17, and involved an unidentified adult victim and two minors.

According to the adult victim’s police statement, Ballard reportedly “had consumed a large amount of alcohol and some marijuana” at the resort before he charged at her and pushed her with both hands into a set of glass doors.

Ballard, a 51-year-old longtime advisor to Governor Newsom, issued a statement in response on Thursday saying, “I’ve spent my career in crisis communications fighting on behalf of the wrongfully accused, and now for the first time I really know what it feels like to be in their shoes. I will be exonerated. I love my children more than anything on earth, and we will be reunited.”

Crisis Communications is the Industry of promoting the rosiest possible fabrication in words and getting that published in as many local and national publications as possible to make sure the Reasonable Residents get completely confused and forget about the ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A CHILD.

Both the Zain Jaffer case and Nathan Ballard case involve Attempted Murder of a Child. Both Involve these men being on top of their children. Zain Jaffer was found by Police and captured on AXON Body Worn Cameras at 4 AM in his backyard completely naked on top of his 3 year son, when ordered off he refused and place his child in a leg lock around his neck. The Police saved the child’s life. Prosecutors initially charged Jaffer with attempted murder but Quickly dropped the charge.

Nathan Ballard was not caught in the act of pillow over his child’s face so there is a difference there.

Here is a PR piece about Nathan Ballard being a Rad Dad.

One way to protect Victim’s of Domestic Violence is to have this information made public ASAP.

That did not happen in the Nathan Ballard DV Arrest? Why?

x San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez, in Court today.

By Michael G. Stogner

Juan P. Lopez

I can’t think of a more Important Story to write about on this day. Sure there are many other subjects like who is going to be the President of the United States of America. Let me tell you why I choose to write about former Deputy Juan P. Lopez on this day.

For me there is no more Important subject in San Mateo County than Corruption, and Abuse of Authority and Office.

I was on the phone with Juan Lopez when he was Arrested with guns to his head Six Years ago. That’s right I said Six Years ago.

Zain Jaffer

Zain Jaffer was Arrested for Attempted Murder and 6 Felonies. His Criminal case went through the San Mateo County Justice System in less than 9 months, and that included the Preliminary Hearing where all charges were approved by the Evidence and Testimony presented in Court. The Attempted Murder Charge was never charged by the District Attorney’s Office for some reason. Arrested October 15, 2017 DISMISSED July 2,2018.

I was hoping to hear from Zain Jaffer by now to share with him some cases of abuse by the District Attorney’s Office, Wrongfully Charged, Over Charged etc. As he claimed he was interested in helping now that he knew how it felt to be Wrongfully Charged. Per his prepared statement made July 2, 2018. Matthews Craves, Vincent Valencia, and of course Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez are just a few of the many cases I can think of.

SMCSO Sergeant Michael Otte

San Mateo County Sheriff Sergeant Michael Otte who worked in Half Moon Bay Patrol Committed Perjury in Judge Lisa Novak’s Courtroom, He was on the Witness Stand under oath and he lied about videoing with his cellphone the arrest of a female Half Moon Bay Resident. The Judge, Sheriff Office, District Attorney’s Office, and David Silberman of the San Mateo Counsel were and still are aware of the PERJURY. Sergeant Michael Otte was never charged as a matter of fact Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos not only allowed him to retire he gave him a retirement send off.

SMCSO Sergeant Lou Aguino

San Mateo County Sheriff Sergeant Louis Aquino Arrested by Redwood City Police Department for DUI. RWCPD has two Daily Activity Log records. His arrest was not made public. I was the first to report it.

Lt. Kristina Bell

San Mateo County Sheriff Lt. Kristina Bell 911 Domestic Violence Call to her residence by her partner, Redwood City Police at her home for hours. No ARREST made. Violation of San Mateo County Domestic Violence Policy. This response by RWCPD was not made public by the Police Department. I was the first to report it.

Barbara Bonilla

San Mateo County Sheriff Employee Barbara Bonilla who was the Executive Director of the Sheriff Activities League was escorted out of her office on Feb. 10, 2020, She has resigned from the Sheriff’s Office which is a Big Deal, She has been removed from the State PAL and Federal PAL Boards. The Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Justice have and are Investigating her for Embezzlement and Laundering of SAL Funds. She has not been charged with any crime yet. That’s 10 months of a “Those Who Matter” person not being charged by the DOJ. That is longer than the Zain Jaffer case from Arrest to DISSMISSAL. I was the first to report it.

The Department of Justice has received a letter from the City of Half Moon Bay requesting an Independent Criminal Investigation of the Sandra L. Harmon Homicide by Sheriff Deputies on May 5, 2020. This is a Historical Request by a City Council and it is Very Healthy to question Authority especially when so many False statements by Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos and District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe were made to the Public.

San Mateo County Sheriff Sergeant Jason Peardon recently received a Distinguished Medal from Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos. I have publicly stated and written about Sergeant Jason Peardon being a Brady Officer. The City of Belmont has finally provided the Court with the documents that Juan Lopez’s attorney had to sue them to provide. He will be on the Witness stand in the Juan P. Lopez Criminal Trial hopefully going before a JURY soon.

Some of you know I have been recommending an AUDIT of the Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, Coroner’s Office, Private Defender Program etc. Audits are the easiest way to assure honesty in the performance of these offices San Mateo County.

San Mateo County has no Print Media interested in providing this information.

Please follow the Deputy Sheriff Juan P. Lopez case. November 16, 2020 set for Jury Trial, I’ll update. Remember if they can do this to a Sheriff Deputy they can do this to YOU.

Thank You

Sheriff Carlos Bolanos Releases some Booking Photos.

By Michael G. Stogner

I first reported that Redwood City Police Officers Arrested San Mateo County Sheriff Sergeant Louis Aquino for DUI right after he left the Deputy Sheriff Association DSA Bar and crashed a Jeep into a tree.

San Mateo County Sheriff Sergeant Lou Aquino Arrested

Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos and his PIO refused to provide the Booking photo. Several requests were made.

Adam Alberti Editor of ClimateRWC Important story with Booking Photos

It has a really cool picture of a Sheriff Patrol Vehicle and 2 Booking Photos. Why were they released and not Sgt. Lou Aquino’s?

Google San Mateo County Sheriff Sergeant Louis Aquino Arrested for DUI and see how many of the print media reported it and what dates their articles came out.

All Booking Photos should be available to the media and public.

San Mateo County Sheriff Office Booking Photo Audit.

By Michael G. Stogner

San Mateo County Sheriff Office released the Booking photo of Sheriff Deputy Juan Pablo Lopez the day he was arrested which is exactly what the Sheriff Office is expected to do. Booking Photos belong to the Public.

Sheriff Deputy Juan Pablo Lopez was Booked into jail, fingerprinted and photographed. He was charged with Smuggling a Cell-Phone and Drugs into Maguire Jail where he worked and he gave them to a Hells Angel Gang Member according to the Sheriff and District Attorney. That was over 5 years ago, There was never any evidence that those allegations were true or accurate. That is Outrageous Government Conduct, and Prosecutorial Misconduct.

San Mateo County Sheriff Sergeant Luis Dejesus Aquino was arrested for DUI September 14, 2019 @ 11:30 PM by the Redwood City Police Department on Broadway near the Deputy Sheriff Association building which has a bar in it. He refused both Blood and Breath test which according to DMV website is a Suspension of Drivers License for a 1 year period. The officer is required by law to immediately forward a copy of the completed notice of suspension or revocation form and any driver license taken into possession, with a sworn report to the DMV.

It’s not clear that Redwood City Police Officer’s took his Drivers License away from him or not at this time.

What is clear is that the Sheriff’s Office has refused to provide the Booking Photo.

The Supervisors of San Mateo County are the Oversight for the Residents.

Was Sheriff Sergeant Aquino Under-Charged and given Special treatment?

    Dear Supervisors,
    https://www.smcsheriff.com/sites/default/files/articles/19-11427.pdf

    See Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos and PIO Rosemerry Blankswade do release the Booking photos of some people arrested in San Mateo County.
    They both are still refusing to release the Booking photo of Sheriff Sergeant Lou Aquino who was arrested September 2019 by the Redwood City Police Department for DUI and refusing both Breath and Blood tests.
    Could you please ask both of them to explain why?
    Thank You

I’m still waiting.

The next Court Date for Sheriff Sergeant Aquino was April 6, 2020 but you can take that off of your calendar The D.A’s Office, Joshua Bentley and the Judge have quietly no reporters completed this DUI case this Wednesday.

Redwood City Police Department has two Different Daily Activity Logs. Why?

636202412814230000

Redwood City Manager Diaz, Melissa Stevenson, and the City Council should fix this. RWCPD Chief Mulholland is responsible for this. Two sets of Books.

Redwood City Police Chief Mulholland

This is not Breaking News, X Sheriff Deputy Colin T. Smith arrested twice by Redwood City Police Department in August & December 2013 same story. Not on the daily log for the public or reporters to be informed.

San Mateo County Sheriff Sergeant Aquino recent DUI arrest is just another example. His arrest September 14, 2019 is on one daily log, the one you have to go in person to the Redwood City Police Station and specifically ask for. The other daily log is on the internet for the public and reporters to view online much more convenient Sheriff Sergeant Luis Dejesus Aquino DUI arrest was not on that daily log list. I drove up from Monterey County to view the Special Daily Log and confirmed that San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy Luis Dejesus Aquino was arrested on September 14, 2019. He refused both blood and breath test, which should be a suspension of California Drivers License.

San Mateo County News.com was the first article on October 1, 2019 that was 2 weeks after the arrest. Most if not all San Mateo County Sheriff Employees knew he was arrested. Did any of them contact a reporter?

I have asked Public Information Officer Rosemary Blankswade & Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos to provide the Booking Photo of Sheriff Sergeant Luis Dejesus Aquino several times they have refused. They have never provided the Booking photo to any News provider.

The Palo Alto Daily Post (The only print media) article October 25, 2019 by Emily Mibach

“The Post only learned of this arrest once Wagstaffe’s office yesterday arraigned Aquino on the charges of refusing to submit to a Breathalyzer test and DUI. The Post routinely gets lists of recent arrestees from Redwood City police, but Aquino is not listed on the log for either Sept. 14 or 15.”

It’s possible the Booking Photo was Never taken.

You can’t possibly manage what you don’t measure.
