MARCH 1, 1988 at approximately 0950 a.m.
Upon contacting a Mexican Male in the back parking lot of Big Bear,
Encinitas, the subject was told to pick up the trash that he was
throwing on the ground. At that time he reached into his back pocket
and pulled out a switchblade knife. He began ~winging the knife at
my face and throat. I immediately retaliated by disarming the sub-
ject. I eventually ended up breaking his leg in order to end the
assault. Once this was done the subject began yelling for help at
which time at least 6 to 8 additional Mexican Males arrived on the
scene. I fled the area and called INS, they told me to call the
Sheriffs Department. I called the Sheriffs Department and was told
to call the Border Patrol. No response was made by either the INS
or Sheriffs Department.
** I might add here that on each day thereafter a call was made to,
INS requesting that they patrol the area. They advised us that be-
cause of a lack of man power they were unable to do so, but would
make an attempt.
MARCH 10, 1988 at approximately 2115 p.m.
It was reported to me by a cashier in Big Bear, Encinitas'that a
male Mexican had shoplifted two bottles of liquqr and had fled on
foot in a Westerly direction across the parking 'lot. At that time
I began a thorough search of the area. The subject was found hiding
behind the shops located on the west side of thd lot. I confronted
the subject who immediately started to struggle and started fleeing
the area. I attempted to stop him by jumping on his back, at which
time he threw me off into some bushes. At this point a late model
Audi four door sedan drove to the front of Wend~'s Restaurant and
picked the subject up. I attempted to obtain the license plate
number of the vehicle, but it was to no avail because the lights,
including tail lights, license plate, and brake lights, had been
removed or were burned out. I returned to where the initial encounter
had taken place. There I observed the stolen ma~erial on the ground,
partially hidden. I set up a surveillance area close by and approx-
imately two minutes later the subject returned. At this point I con-
fronted him once again. Blows were exchanged an~ the subject began
fleeing the area. I again made an attempt to subdue the subject by
leaping on his back. The subject merely carried me for approximately
20 feet and threw me into the bushes again. (Th, Sheriffs Department
had been called, but as yet had not arrived on t~e scene.) After
recovering myself from the foliage I began runnimg after the subject
in a Westerly direction (on the center divider of Encinitas Blvd.).
Approximately one block into the chase a marked ~heriffs Unit passed
both myself and the fleeing subject. (I was atti~ed in uniform and
badge.) The Sheriffs Unit was heading in an East~rly direction and
I believed the Deputy would make a V-turn and co~e to my aid. The
Deputy proceeded to pull into the driveway of th~ Big Bear Complex.
At that time I gave up chase and returned to the complex and spoke
with the female deputy. I advised her of the subjects description,
the vehicles description, and the location of th~ suspect when last
seen.

MARCH 10, 1988 at approximately 2115 p.m. - CON~INUED
At this time an additional Sheriffs vehicle arrived on the scene.
The vehicle was occupied by two male uniformed øeputys. The female
deputy at this pint left the area in the direction of the location
where the suspect was last seen. I gave the two officers the same
information. The two male officers when last seen were heading to-
wards the rear of Big Bear, Encinitas and apparently were not planning
on offering their assistance to the female officer.
** The suspect is described as a Mexican male, 19 to 21 years old,
approximately 6'1 to 6'2 inches tall, approximate weight 230 to 245
pounds. He was wearing a black wool jacket and blue jeans. The
vehicle in question was a 1986-87 Audi 5000 Series 4 door Sedan, light
blue in color. The vehicle was driven by a Mexican male approximately
19 years old.
MARCH 8, 1988 at approximately 0730 a.m.
Threa Deputy Sheriffs Vehicles arrived at Biscuits Restaurant. All
occupants of the vehicles went inside and stayed: approximately 35
to 40 minutes. At that time they returned to th~ir vehicles and left
the area with no contact with the 26 Mexicans oniboth the North and
South sides of the street.
MARCH 9, 1988 at approximately 0730 a.m.
Three Deputy Vehicles arrived at Biscuits Restaurant. The vehicles
arrived in three to five minute intervals of each other. They then
entered the building together. They left the building again at
0812 a.m..
'\
MARCH 10,1988 at approximately 0725 a.m.
Two Deputy Sheriffs arrived at Biscuits Restaurant and approximately
ten minutes later a motorcycle officer arrived. ~he two patrol officers
left at 0807 a.m. and the motorcycle officer left: at approximately
0815 a.m..
PRIOR INCIDENTS
Incident #1: In October 1987 at approximately 0845 a.m.
I witnessed the selling of either Cocaine or Heroin to a group of
Mex~cans on the back lot of Big Bear Market, Encimitas. The license
number and a complete description of the vehicle as well as itls two
male occupants was made and the information was turned over to a
Deputy Sheriff from the Sheriffs Department.
Incident #2: October 1987, one week later than above.
I contacted the Deputy Sheriff and asked if a reg~stration check was
run on the suspects vehicle plates. I also inquir~d as to whether or
not any follow up work was being done. I was tolq that a registration
check had not been done and no follow up was being done. I was advised
that the information was placed on a bulletin board £or all officers
to read.

PRIOR INCIDENTS - Continued
Incident #3: Late October/Early November, 3 Weeks After Incident#l
During another investigation I contacted the same deputy and during
our discussion was advised that he had in fact stopped the vehicle
in question and had spoke with the 4 male, Mexican occupants. He said
there had been no evidence of any drug activity. I asked him for a
description of the vehicle he had stopped. He indicated that it was
a yellow Datsun, 4 door. The vehicle I had described to him was a
light blue Audi, 4 door, and a complete license number~had been given.
The deputy said that at the time of the stop he did not have the license
number and could not relate if whether or not it was the same one on
the vehicle.
Incident #4: Late part of October 1987
During the latter part of October on one particular given night at
approximately 1630 hours and again at 1800 hours, I observed at least
three Deputy Sheriffs in different vehicles patrolling the parking lots
of the' Big Bear Complex. Encinitas. No contact was made with me as to
the reason for such heavy patrol. At approximate~y 1930 hours I con-
fronted a very hostile and incoherent female subject in the parking
lot. This female stated "The only good cop is a dead cop!" At appro-
ximately 2030 hours I was contacted by a Deputy advising me that an
escaped female subject was last known to be on tþe Big Bear Complex.
After hearing this I described the subject I had confronted earlier.
I was advised to call 911 if she was observed again. The Deputy
asked me if she was armed. I stated that she had a very large purse
but it was unknown what the contents were. The female suspect was
later spotted by me and I phoned the Sheriffs Department to advise
them of her whereabouts. No further contact was made by the Deputys
with me to advise whether or not this dangerous person had been ap-
prehended. The following day I arrived for work and observed a patrol
vehicle on the lot. I assumed he was here to advise me as to whether
or not the suspect had been appreheTI~ed. I was concerned not only for
myself but for the safety of others within the complex. The officer
did not contact me while he was on the lot. I telephoned Brad Warren,
Director of Security and Loss Prevention for Big Bear Markets and
informed him of the situation. At approximately 1030 a.m. Mr. Warren
and I went to the Sheriffs Office in Encinitas and spoke with Sergeant
Doug P. Hoffman. We advised him of the most recant contact with his
department and inquired as to the outcome of the situation. He informed
us that the suspect had been apprehended. We advised him of some of
the other incidents with the Deputy Sheriffs and .his response consisted
of the follwoing excuses: Not enough help, youngdeputys, lack of exp-
erience, and that the Deputys tended to wear their badge as if it was
a 20 pound weight on their chest. This visit with Sergeant Hoffman
Occurred around the first week of November. From 'that time on during
my split shift I have not observed one patrol car in our area except
to eat at the restaurants.
