Rialto Police Department Urges City Council To Ban Mobile Marijuana Operations
On Tuesday Rialto Police Lt. James Kurkoske presented the Issue with Medical Marijuana Dispensaries moving to a Mobile operations to circumvent Rialto municipal code laws Banning dispensaries within the city limits
Lt. James Kurkoske remarked on the law that created a Compassionate Use Act (CUA) where people that were suffering from the effects of treatment from serious illness. Rialto has a ordnance that does not allow medical marijuana shops to hold store fronts within the city limits. So what drug dealers have done is offer a delivery service to their clients in the city of Rialto. Lt. James Kurkoske said at the council meeting last night that this practice is dangerous because the drivers are a target of armed robbery for cash and drugs. This danger has brought drivers to have armed guards or even arm themselves. One community watch resident said “last thing we need is a shoot out in the city”.
Lt. James Kurkoske said that the SCAT team preformed undercover buys from these shops and had the drug delivered to a apartment where a undercover police officer was there to complete the purchase. Lt. James Kurkoske said that the undercover operations team did not encounter any armed curriers but did encounter armed guards at a store front that was shut down near Cactus and Valley.
The council went with staff recommendation and amend the current Ordnance to also ban mobile operations of Medical Marijuana within the city limits. The vote was unanimous but there were comments after the public comment portion was over. Councilman Joe Baca Jr asked Lt. James Kurkoske how possible legalization efforts would affect the city’s ability to enforce the Ordnance. Lt. James Kurkoske did say that it would become more difficult. Joe Baca Jr also asked how the police would be able to identify if someone was under the influence while driving. Lt. James Kurkoske said states like Colorado and Washington were already developing methods and technology to deal with this issue with more accuracy. Joe Baca Jr said its inevitable that Marijuana will be regulated and more available to our communities and he didn’t seem to concerned over this issue. Councilman Ed Palmer was disturbed that someone could order Marijuana like a pizza. He made reference to a potential decline in our communities is this continued. Councilwoman Lynn Hirtz said that having a lax attitude in reference to any drug use in our communities was dangerous and she thanked the police for their work on this item.

RIALTO >> A former Rialto school board president was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of possessing child pornography.
Daniel Mays, 65, of Rialto, was taken into custody at his home in the 500 block of West Arbeth Street following an investigation according to a police news release.
A Highland computer repair person contacted the Rialto police Thursday after Mays allegedly left a computer to be repaired containing child pornography, police officials said in a written statement.
After a follow-up investigation, police discovered the former Rialto Unified School District board president allegedly had several pieces of equipment, computer hard drives and computer discs that contained suspected child pornography, police added.
Mays was booked into West Valley Detention Center for suspicion of possession of child porn and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
Syeda Jafri, spokeswoman for the RUSD, said the news of Mays’ arrest is an “extremely disturbing allegation.”
The last time Mays served on the school board was in 2008, she said.
This news comes in the wake of two other arrests of present or past district employees.
In recent months, accountant Judith Oakes was arrested and charged with alleged embezzlement of $1.8 million of school lunch money.
In March 2013, police arrested former Eisenhower High School girls basketball coach Floyd Eddings Jr. as he was leaving his security officer job for the Corona-Norco Unifed School District.
Eddings, a former National Football League wide receiver for the New York Giants, was accused of having sex with two members of his team, both under 16, as well as forcible sexual penetration with foreign objects when he was working for the Rialto district between 2000 and 2004.
The Mays investigation is ongoing. The Rialto Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact Detective Carla McCullough at 909-820-2521.

RIALTO — A man and woman were killed and two children were seriously injured early Thursday in a car crash police allege was due to road rage.
Rialto police say Yvette Pulido, 31, of Fontana got into a dispute with another driver at Cactus Avenue and the 210 Freeway at 12:16 a.m. That dispute continued southbound until the drivers reached the railroad tracks when a train was coming through, said Rialto police Capt. Randy DeAnda.
“The victim tried to flip a U-turn and (Pulido) intentionally collided into them,” DeAnda said.
Pulido then sped away and lost control on Cactus, sliding nearly 300 feet into a tree. The impact knocked out a large hole in the block wall behind the tree.
Pulido’s fiance, Martin Serrano, 32, of Bloomington was thrown from the car. He and Pulido were pronounced dead at the scene.
Rialto firefighters worked frantically to rescue Pulido’s 1 and 6-year-old sons, who became pinned in the back seat.
“We had to take off the whole roof and we had to move the front seat back to the front to access the kids in the back,” said Rialto firefighter paramedic Matt Payne.
Police said it appeared Pulido was trying to make a left turn onto Alru Street when she lost control. DeAnda estimated she was driving at least 80 mph.
“She was going way too fast,” DeAnda said.
The 6-year-old boy suffered broken legs in the crash and the 1-year-old received cuts and scratches.
“It’s a miracle that those children survived the crash,” DeAnda said. “The 1-year-old should have been in a child seat. He had just a seat belt on.”
Maryann Pabon and other neighbors gathered near the crash scene after San Bernardino County coroner’s personnel picked up Pulido and Serrano.
She said she heard the crash from her house nearby.
“We just heard a bang,” she said. “What really made me know something was wrong was my dog and my neighbor’s dog started going crazy with the sirens.”
Robert Hernandez, a friend of Serrano and Pulido, said the couple had been heading home, but didn’t know where they were coming from.
“They were going to get married and asked me to be the best man,” he said.
They had been engaged three months. Thursday was Pulido’s birthday.
He described Serrano as a hard worker who loaded and unloaded trucks for Kuehne and Nagel in Rialto. He got the job through an Ontario employment agency where Hernandez works.
Pulido was a homemaker.
“She was a beautiful person,” Hernandez said.
