Rialto Swat standoff

RIALTO — Police late Tuesday surrounded a home in a north city neighborhood attempting to deal with a barricaded man who might be armed.
It was the fourth time that day that police were called to the upscale neighborhood with many manicured lawns in the 2500 block of Amberwood Avenue.
As of 9:30 p.m., the homeowner remained barricaded in the house surrounded by the Inland Valley SWAT.
“The first three times we were called out was for loud music coming from the home,” said Rialto police spokesman Capt. Randy DeAnda. “The fourth time, around 3:15 p.m., was because a neighbor called and said the homeowner was walking around the neighborhood with a rifle.”
More than a dozen residents were evacuated and the SWAT was deployed after the homeowner, Richard Bright, 46, barricaded himself in his home.
“When officers arrived the rifle was found lying in his driveway,” DeAnda said. “But we don’t know what he has in the home.”
DeAnda said he was unaware of what type of rifle Bright had.
Bright lives alone in the home.

Residents in the neighborhood said that Bright has some issues that need to be dealt with.
One neighbor who wishes to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, said that Bright walks around in the early morning hours wearing a hoodie type sweatshirt and sunglasses pulling on door handles of neighborhood vehicles.
“I’ve seen him walk up to my door and just stand there,” said the neighbor. “He doesn’t say a word, he just stares at you and turns around and walks away.”
Law enforcement is aware of Bright’s strange behaviors.
“We believe he has some sort of psychiatric issues,” DeAnda said. “But we’ve established contact with him over the phone and are doing everything in our power to end this peacefully.”

Local Store shelf where Synthetic drugs are sold
- More “SPICE” examples showing the cartoon characters used and bright colored packaging.
After too many close calls with our teens and young adults finding themselves being hospitalized. Rialto Unified Staff, Flores Park Neighborhood Watch, Councilman Shawn O’Connell, Community members and Rialto Police Department partnered together to eliminate the ease of access to Synthetic drugs known under the names “SPICE” or “BATH SALTS” on shelves of local liquor stores and smoke shops.
These drugs are marketed in packaging using cartoon characters and bright colors.

More “SPICE” examples showing the cartoon characters used and bright colored packaging.
They also reach out by claiming to be manmade Marijuana, but this is far from the truth the chemicals used to create the drug are unregulated and much worse than the very harmful and dangerous Marijuana.
People using this drug for the first time find themselves with symptoms like those in a heart attack patient and find themselves going into cardiac arrest.
Please join us tomorrow Tuesday January 8th at 6:00pm at City Hall city council meeting for the Spice Update – RPD Community Liaison Officer – Cameron Nelson

Apparently Corporal Nelson of the Rialto Police Department was at the Chevron gas station last week when he observed a group of kids with their mother struggling to pay for some items at the front counter. Observing this, Corporal Nelson whipped out his own funds and purchased the items for the mother and her kids. It appears the Chevron manager was so impressed he posted the surveillance video of Corporal Nelson’s actions on “You Tube.” Very impressive.
I have come to find this Cpl a hard working caring man. If you have a community group, youth group or any other Rialto group you would like to have him out to please email him at Cnelson@rialtopd.com

Rialto PD Community Liason Cpl. Cameron Nelson shops with kids

Nicholas might have been disappointed that he didn’t get a sleigh ride but he did get a much brighter holiday. (Melissa Pinion-Whitt Staff
RIALTO – The lights and siren on Rialto police Cpl. Cameron Nelson’s patrol car left 5-year-old Nicholas Mingl doubting it had anything to do with Christmas.
“This ain’t a Santa sleigh,” the Rialto boy said.
But thanks to Rialto police officers who took needy children on a Christmas shopping spree Wednesday, the boy’s outlook on the police and the holidays grew brighter.
Law enforcement and fire agencies around the Inland Empire have been holding gift-giveaways for disadvantaged families the last few weeks. Many police departments participated in Shop With a Cop-style events, using donations to take children to stores for presents.
“These kids would not have a Christmas if it wasn’t for this,” said Karen Huerta, Nicholas’ grandmother.
Rialto police took 14 children to Walmart in Rialto, buying each child $50 in presents and another $40 for their parents or guardians. Families filled out applications and were selected by officers based on need.
“Hopefully it gives them a better outlook on police officers – that we’re not just enforcers,” Nelson said.
The Kiwanis Club, Rialto’s Police Officer Benefit Association and other donors pitched in for the gift money.
Rialto Officer Cheri Schaffer walked the aisles with 6-year-old Julina Castro, who picked a few dolls and some clothes off the shelves. She also used some of her $50 to buy her mother a present.
“It makes you feel good to come out with the kids and see their faces light up,” Schaffer said.

San Bernardino police used a different method to select children for their Shop With a Cop event. Police detectives picked children who were victims in physical abuse cases.
Detectives, along with officers in uniform, accompanied nine children ranging from 5 to about 12-years-old, for a shopping spree. The department received $1,500 in donations from the Walmart Foundation.
“It lets them know that your case is done, but we didn’t forget you,” said police Lt. Paul Williams.
In Redlands, police took 27 children to Target, where they bought $1,800 in presents through police and community donations.
Other agencies may not call their events “Shop With a Cop,” but it’s the same concept.
Fontana police, who call their shopping spree “Heroes and Helpers” took 50 children shopping at Target on Dec. 15. They were selected by school district officials who recognized the children had a need for holiday help.
But it wasn’t just police officers who took children on shopping sprees.
Colton firefighters, along with the Colton Unified School District and Walmart donated money so 50 needy children could each receive $100 Christmas presents.
