SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A woman who pointed what turned out to be a pellet gun at two San Diego police officers who followed her into a downtown parking structure during the Rock-N-Roll marathon is scheduled to be sentenced Friday.Mona Elease Williams, 59, pleaded guilty in September to a pair of felony counts of resisting an executive officer by threat or violence. She faces a maximum of eight years and four months in state prison.On the third day of the defendant's preliminary hearing three months ago, Deputy District Attorney Michael Runyon dismissed allegations that Williams personally used a deadly weapon in the crimes. He said that because he couldn't prove that the pellet gun was loaded, the allegations had to be dismissed.Williams -- who has convictions for burglary in 1986 and assault in 2003 and was sent to prison in 2015 -- would have faced 62 years to life behind bars if convicted as charged.The defendant's good friend, Lisa Wilson, testified that Williams texted ``death by cop'' hours before the June 3 confrontation with officers. In body-worn camera video recorded as Williams was arrested, she is seen frantically trying to explain to Officer Ronald Hamilton that she is bipolar and off her medications.``She told me she wanted to harm herself,'' Hamilton testified. The officer said Williams was acting erratically, breathing heavily and was showing signs consistent with someone under the influence of methamphetamine.Minutes earlier, an officer followed Williams after a motorist trying to find a parking space told the officer that Williams -- driving Wilson's car -- hit her from behind and took off. Runyon said Williams was spotted in the car near the entrance to the First Avenue city parking structure by an officer who thought he saw a gun pointed at him. Williams proceeded to the top of the parking structure and pointed the pellet gun at an officer, who fired two shots at her but missed.Another responding officer accidentally shot himself in the leg during the incident. 2018

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A San Diego County Superior Court judge ruled Friday that he is allowed under state law to reconsider his prior decision to place a sexually violent predator known as the ``Bolder-Than-Most'' rapist back into the community, where the felon would continue treatment under a conditional release program.Last October, San Diego Superior Court Judge David M. Gill ordered Alvin Ray Quarles, 56, released to a home in Jacumba Hot Springs. But an agreement to rent that residence fell through, leading Gill to order Liberty Healthcare Corp., which runs the conditional release program, to conduct a countywide search for a new place for Quarles to live.Prosecutors, along with county Supervisor Dianne Jacob, subsequently requested that Gill reconsider, though whether he was allowed to reverse the requested that Gill reconsider, though whether he was allowed to reverse the decision.During a court hearing this morning, Gill stated that it was "abundantly clear that the court has continuing jurisdiction to reconsider its``abundantly clear that the court has continuing jurisdiction to reconsider its earlier hearing,'' though much of Friday's session was conducted behind closed doors, and without elaboration on how Gill reached his latest ruling.A March 19 hearing was scheduled to hear motions for Quarles' eventual evidentiary hearing regarding a potential release. The evidentiary hearing is tentatively set for May 16.Witness testimony and a newly drafted psychiatric evaluation from Coalinga State Hospital are expected to factor into Gill's decision on either placing Quarles into the conditional release program, or ordering him returned to custody.Quarles was dubbed the ``Bolder-Than-Most'' rapist because of the way he attacked his victims, at knifepoint, sometimes forcing the women's husbands or boyfriends to watch.He pleaded guilty in 1989 to committing more than a dozen sexual assaults in the mid-to-late 1980s and was sentenced to 50 years in prison.Prior to Quarles' release from prison, the District Attorney's Office filed a petition to have him civilly committed as a sexually violent predator.In 2014, Quarles was committed to the Department of State Hospitals to undergo sex offender treatment. In September 2016, Quarles petitioned the court to be granted release through the Conditional Release Program for sex offenders. 2372

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A woman accused of causing the death of a 74-year-old man in her care by withholding food from him over the course of several years was ordered to stand trial today on murder and other charges that could have her facing life imprisonment.Shirley Montano, 52, is accused of causing the Oct. 7, 2016, death of Robert Chagas, who died at Sharp Memorial Hospital of pneumonia, which prosecutors argue was exacerbated by severe malnutrition. Montano is additionally charged with kidnapping, elder abuse, false imprisonment, identity theft and perjury for allegedly limiting meals and keeping Chagas and an elderly woman essentially captive at the defendant's apartment, while spending the senior citizens' Social Security benefits for personal use.Deputy District Attorney Rebecca Zipp said the weight of both Chagas and the woman, Josefina Kellogg, ``plummeted once in (Montano's) care.'' Chagas was ``emaciated'' when he was brought into the hospital, where he died five days later. Montano, who allegedly posed as his niece, told medical personnel that Chagas did not wish to be resuscitated, according to testimony. Chagas' family members were only notified of his hospitalization after his death, they testified. ``She took on the duty of care and responsibility for his well-being, and that care fell so woefully short that he died in part due to inadequate nutrition,'' Zipp told San Diego County Superior Court Judge Esteban Hernandez at the conclusion of the week-long preliminary hearing.The prosecutor alleged that Chagas and Kellogg were kept isolated from others who lived with Montano and confined to their respective bedrooms. Montano's niece, who stayed with the defendant for about a year, said that for the first month she lived at her aunt's apartment, she was not even aware Kellogg existed because the woman would hardly ever emerge from her bedroom.Others who resided at Montano's apartment or visited the home were offered various explanations for Chagas and Kellogg's presence, including that Kellogg was Montano's sister or Chagas' wife, according to testimony. Kellogg testified that she stayed in her bedroom for several hours each day and feared angering Montano, who would hit her if she did not obey the rules of the house.Zipp said that Kellogg ``had no agency'' and would not even eat without Montano's permission, even when the defendant was in custody. Following Montano's arrest, she phoned her downstairs neighbor from jail and asked her to go into her unit to bathe Kellogg. The neighbor testified that she was reduced to tears upon seeing Kellogg's skeletal figure, and that the senior would not leave the apartment until the neighbor lied and said she had called Montano and received her permission. Kellogg also did not allow the had called Montano and received her permission. Kellogg also did not allow the to strike Kellogg -- because she feared moving the utensil might anger Montano, the neighbor testified.Zipp alleged that while keeping the seniors under her thumb, Montano spent their monthly benefits for personal purposes such as a new truck and frequently gambling their funds away at local casinos.``There is one person whose needs and wants she considered, and that are those of the defendant,'' Zipp said. Montano's attorney, Shannon Sebeckis, argued there was no evidence that Chagas' malnutrition was caused by Montano, and was not the natural result of aging. Sebeckis reiterated the testimony of San Diego County Chief Medical Examiner Glenn Wagner, who declined to classify Chagas' death as a homicide. Wagner said Chagas was not getting sufficient food, but he could not opine as to why, only that it appeared to be due to non-medical factors.No calls were made by family or medical professionals to Adult Protective Services in Chagas' case, which also contributed to Wagner's opinion not to classify his death as a homicide, the doctor said. While evidence was presented that Chagas once told a doctor that his weight loss was due to not having enough money for food, Sebeckis said this was not proof that Montano was taking his money or withholding food, especially in light of Chagas' issues with handling his own finances. Chagas' family members testified that an accident that occurred at childbirth had left him ``slow,'' as his brother Richard described it, and that throughout his adult life, Chagas was susceptible to being scammed and had lost exorbitant amounts of money to fraudsters in the past, leading family members to take an active role in assisting him with taxes and paying bills.Sebeckis argued there was little direct evidence that Montano didn't feed the seniors, as plenty of her past roommates said they had seen her providing food for Chagas and Kellogg. The attorney also said Chagas was not confined at all, and regularly left the apartment each day for his janitorial job at Sea World, which he attended with a sack lunch prepared by Montano each day.Sebeckis said it was ``pure speculation and conjecture'' that Montano didn't use the seniors' funds to pay for their basic needs. Hernandez said the murder charge was the most difficult for him to rule on, but said that the totality of circumstances held Montano culpable in Chagas' death, saying the seniors ``basically wasted away while in her care.''Montano is being held on million bail and will return to court April 11 for a Superior Court arraignment. 5423

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A La Jolla restaurant owner raped eight women who he either drugged or knew were too intoxicated to consent to sex, a prosecutor said Tuesday, while a defense attorney argued none of the charged sex acts were forced upon the alleged victims, nor was there any evidence that any of the women were drugged.Jurors on Tuesday began deliberating the fate of Daniel Dorado, who is charged with 35 felonies, including rape of an unconscious person and rape of an intoxicated person. He faces nearly 31 years in prison if convicted of all counts, which are charged for rapes that allegedly occurred in 2009, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.The 61-year-old defendant is the owner of Voce del Mare, an Italian restaurant located on La Jolla Boulevard in the Bird Rock area.Dorado is accused of meeting the victims -- who ranged in age from 22 to 58 -- at local bars and restaurants, sometimes under the guise of a job interview for a position at his restaurant, or through dating websites.RELATED:Restaurant owner charged with rape testifiesTrial begins for La Jolla restaurant owner accused of sexual assaultsHe allegedly offered the women spiked beverages, causing them to fall unconscious and later wake up in the middle of or just after sex acts with the defendant.Dorado was taken into custody in March 2018 on suspicion of assaults on four women. The other alleged victims came forward after learning of his arrest.Defense attorney Eric Youngquist said the prosecution had not proven anything regarding the use of date rape drugs, force or threats on Dorado's behalf, and that each of the encounters with the women were consensual.The attorney said no evidence of date rape drugs turned up in any of the alleged victims' systems and contended their supposed symptoms were more indicative of alcohol consumption.RELATED:8 women accuse Bird Rock restaurant owner of sexual assaultNew charges filed against La Jolla restaurant owner accused of rapeDeputy District Attorney Jessica Coto told jurors that even if they didn't believe the victims were given date rape drugs, evidence from the trial indicated the women drank enough to become noticeably unable to consent -- in some cases vomiting on themselves or rendered unable to stand or walk -- yet Dorado decided to have sex with them anyway."You can't consent to something you don't know is happening to you," Coto said. "You can't make a choice if you are not aware what is happening."Youngquist questioned the motivations of some of the alleged victims, particularly some who were allegedly raped following job interviews at Dorado's restaurant, then proceeded to work for him even after the alleged assaults, but were later fired from their jobs.RELATED: La Jolla restaurant owner accused of sexual assault makes first court appearanceMore women come forward about La Jolla restaurant owner accused of rapeOne of the victims dated Dorado for months following her initial meeting with him, in which she told investigators she had drinks with him, became very intoxicated and collapsed, and later woke up naked in a hotel room, the defense attorney said.Youngquist alleged she was essentially told by police and prosecutors that she was raped, but later testified at trial that she didn't consider herself a victim. Quoting his co-counsel Kim Santini's opening statements, Youngquist contended the charges were the result of "an overzealous district attorney and (a) detective" who planted the notion of drugging into the alleged victims' minds. The attorney emphasized that some of the victims used similar language to describe their symptoms, such as feeling "heavy" or "disassociated."Youngquist also alleged some of the accusers were seeking civil, monetary damages from Dorado, though Coto said only one of the victims ever sued Dorado and has since dropped the lawsuit.RELATED: Woman accuses La Jolla restaurant owner of rape comes forward, talks only to 10NewsCoto questioned what she said were shifting stories on the defendant's behalf between his testimony at trial, conversations with police, and pre- textual phone conversations with some of the victims. At various points, the prosecutor alleged Dorado denied having any sexual contact with the women, then later admitted having consensual sex."If everything was consensual, why deny?" Coto asked the jury. 4336

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - As his trial entered its eighth week, a man who shot at officers from his ex-girlfriend's condominium in Bankers Hill pleaded guilty to four counts of assault with a firearm on a peace officer and agreed to a 20-year prison sentence, it was confirmed Thursday.Titus Colbert, 36, faces formal sentencing May 18 before Judge Louis Hanoian.Deputy District Attorney Michael Runyon was about to wrap up his case when Colbert decided to plead guilty Monday afternoon.Charges of premeditated attempted murder of a peace officer and assault with a semiautomatic weapon were dismissed.RELATED: Suspect in Bankers Hill standoff that shut down Lindbergh Field in courtRunyon said in his opening statement that Colbert took two rifles and a revolver belonging to his roommate in Las Vegas and showed up at his former girlfriend's condo in Bankers Hill a few days before his Nov. 4, 2015, arrest.According to Runyon, the morning of the shooting, Colbert's ex- girlfriend Ashley Davies realized that he'd had broken into her complex and sent him a text saying: "You're trespassing! You're going to jail!"Colbert responded by texting, "(Expletive), I'm going to be a star. (Expletive) you for putting my life in danger," the prosecutor said.When officers responded to Davies' sixth-floor condo near the roof of the complex, a shot rang out from behind her door and an officer returned fire, according to Runyon.The prosecutor said officers retreated and more shots were fired at them and members of a SWAT team.Hours later, police observed a rifle, revolver and a magazine for a rifle being thrown out of the window where Colbert was holed up, Runyon said.After Colbert's arrest, officers found 17 expended casings and another rifle under a pile of clothes in the room, the prosecutor said.Even though traces of cocaine and methamphetamine were found in Colbert's system, and even though he had a history of mental health issues, the defendant knew what he was doing that day, Runyon said.Defense attorney Melissa Tralla told the jury that Colbert had a psychotic break and was paranoid and delusional. She said that days before, Colbert had called Davies at least 50 times and was not acting right.Colbert was rambling, saying he had special powers and was part of the New World Order, Tralla said.The attorney said Colbert was showing signs of mental illness by age 6, and was diagnosed with schizophrenia by age 15. Tralla told the jury that Colbert did not intend or plan to kill officers that day. 2518
