San Jose Resident Esteban Sanchez Arrested for Hit and Run of Pregnant Woman in Morgan Hill

New Year’s Day 2014 was supposed to be a new beginning for all. That was not the case for two people in Morgan Hill California. About 2:30 p.m. according to authorities, Esteban Sanchez was driving on East Dunne Avenue in Morgan Hill under the influence. He crashed his Mazda 3 into a pregnant woman’s car and drove off. Then he proceeded crash into a fire hydrant at Butterfield Boulevard at Barrett Avenue. He fled his car and ran into an industrial area of Caputo Drive where the police arrested him. Why in the world was he still driving? He had four previous arrests for suspicion of driving under the influence. What are the authorities waiting for someone to die? They should have taken this menace off the street after his second D.U.I. He is in custody without bail and is due in court on Monday January 6^th. As for the pregnant woman there is no information on how she is doing. I pray that her baby and she are doing well. 23 year old Esteban Sanchez of San Jose should never be permitted to drive a vehicle again. He is a danger to everyone on the road drivers and pedestrians alike. Authorities are asking anyone who saw anything to contact Morgan Hill police Detective Jeff Tacazon at 408-779-2101 or the anonymous Crime Stoppers tip line at 408-947-7867.

Morgan Hill Preschool Teacher Deborah Gratz Who Tried To Drug Children Has Been Sentenced

In March of this year Deborah Gratz was caught trying to drug children at Kiddie Academy in Morgan Hill. She was caught by another employee, crushing up sleeping pills up in the children’s sippy cups. No children were hurt, she was stopped before they drank it. Deborah Gratz was sentenced on September 9, 2013 six months in jail and four years of probation. Are you kidding me! That’s all she got, a slap on the hand. You get a bigger sentence for harming an animal. The Santa Clara DA’s office is a joke. Santa Clara County prosecutor Sumerle Davis said "I wanted her to be granted probation, but also wanted her to do some custody time," said Davis. "There are parents who might have liked to see more time, but this is a fair resolution. ... It's very unsettling for parents to think that they could leave their child in someone's care and then be betrayed like this." Who knows how long she had been doing this to the children, before she got caught. If you ask me she should have got the book thrown at her. So it would deter anyone else from trying to harm our innocent children.

33 year old Women Stole $26,000 From Storage Locker in Morgan Hill, CA

When I heard on the news that Darla Dominguez of San Martin, California was arrested on suspicion for selling some items she stole from a storage locker in Morgan Hill California at a garage sale in San Martin. I got a good laugh! I thought how dumb and what the heck was she smoking. On June 11, 2013 around 8 p.m. Darla broke in this storage locker at 18025 Monterey Road in Morgan Hill, taking more than $26,000 worth of stuff. Investigators went to Darla’s home in San Martin the next town over searched it and found multiple items taken from the locker. They also found a trailer which had been reported stolen in a separate case. I think she wanted to get caught because to sell something you stole at a garage sale has to be one of the stupidest things never. Somebody probably saw something she was selling thought it was stolen and called the authorities. You never know who will show up at a garage sells.

Morgan Hill’s Antolin Garcia-Torres Arrested for Kidnap and Murder of Sierra LaMar

Authorities arrested Morgan Hill’s Antolin Garcia-Torres on May 21, 2012, for the kidnap and murder of Sierra LaMar. Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar went missing on her way to school on March 16, 2012. The authorities had Antolin Garcia-Torres under-surveillance since March 28, 2012. They were gathering evidence and hoping he would lead authorities to her body. The authorities strongly believe that Sierra LaMar is dead. Authorities and volunteer are continuing to look for her body. On May 23, 2012 divers were looking in Uvas Reservoir in Santa Clara County. With the all DNA evidence against Antolin Garcia-Torres, his sister is saying "they don't have enough evidence to convict him." If it they did not have enough evidence, why was his DNA found on her clothes in the Juicy backpack and Sierra’s DNA found in his car? Did they know each other? Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith said they have no evidence that knew each other. Antolin Garcia-Torres’s DNA was in the system, because of an assault back in March 2009. In 2009 there were three assaults at the Safeway parking lot 840 E. Dunne Ave. in Morgan Hill. The suspect would enter women’s car through the drivers-side rear door. One woman said her attacker used a Taser gun to stun her, authorities believed the attacker was the same in all three cases. If this was Antolin Garcia-Torres attacking women back in 2009 it is a shame that he was not arrested back then he would have been off the streets and Sierra would have probably been a live today. As the authorities continue to search for Sierra’s body, I just hope they have the right sick S.O.B. off the streets. My prayers go out to the LaMar family.

Off-color in Morgan Hill

The four boys at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, California who wore American flag T-shirts on 'Cinco de Mayo', may have showed poor judgment, chose bad timing, and displayed insensitivity toward their Latino classmates. 

 However, unless they were flaunting this patriotic gesture with physical threats or verbal insults in order to start a riot....nobody (school officials included) had the right to tell them to turn the shirts inside-out or go home!  It wasn't like they were yelling "fire" in some crowded theater

All that did was violate their rights of freedom of speech and expression, and, in the process...fuel a media frenzy that catapulted a small California town into the national spotlight.  Maybe that's IT!  This is all some public relations brainstorm used to boost local economy!  No, I'm kidding--although it DID!

Seriously though, just as free speech rights protected flag burners 40-years ago, those same rights protect our wearing the national colors(on T-shirts)...the same way they should protect others who wear colors of their own ancestral flag.

Therefore, if four Mexican-American students wear red, white, and green T-shirts next 4th of July, no one should tell them to take them off either! The entire incident was blown out of proportion, and should never have happened.

 What I'm saying is, America is a land of immigrants(other than the Native Indians), all of us proud of our heritage, culture, language,origins and flag colors! While we should always hold tight to them, we're also Americans now--required to adapt, embrace, love, honor, and strive to become positive, contributing citizens who are proud of the red-white-and blue among other colors.(gang colors excluded)

If we actually lived by the above color-code in national harmony, incidents like the one in Morgan Hill, which ignited protest rally's and patriotic arguments on both sides, would never have blown up like they did!

Unfortunately, we don't, and it's bound to happen again because...although we are all in this together, we haven't yet learned to deal with it!

Thanks, stay cool

Sincerely, PeteCam4

ASSAULT ON WOMEN JOGGERS IN MORGAN HILL

It is a shame that women can’t go out jogging without some pervert trying to sexually assault or kill them. Just this past Monday morning about 6:15am  in Morgan Hill a 45 year old women was jogging on Mission View Road near Half Road a man grabbed her from behind sexually assaulted her and ran away like to coward he was. The only description of this man is, he is about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs about 130 to 150 pounds. He spoke English with a slight Spanish accent and was wearing dark hooded sweatshirt dark baggy pants.

Ladies this scenario has been going on for a long time, you can’t go out jogging alone anymore, because you don’t know when and where some sick pervert will jump out of the bushes and attack you. I say Ladies if you must go jogging alone carry some kind of weapon, so you can hurt the sick pervert. Stay safe ladies.
