Recently a 23-year old San Bernardino man with an outstanding warrant for a domestic violence conviction crashed his motorcycle while being chased by police. The man was declared dead at the scene near Highland Avenue and Lincoln Street. There were no other vehicles involved. It is believed that the man was under the influence of alcohol at this time.
San Bernardino Police reported that after seeing the man run through several stop signs, they tried to pull him over. Instead of pulling over, he sped up. Witnesses indicated that he was traveling over 100 miles per hour when he lost control of his motorcycle, hit a curb and fell off his motorcycle.
Records show that he pleaded guilty in September 2009 for domestic violence. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, placed on three years of probation and ordered to complete a domestic violence batterers’ program. He failed to appear in court for a probation review at the beginning of March and a warrant was issued.

The Sherriff’s department arrested four individuals in three separate traffic accidents the weekend of March 13, 2010 – all involving alcohol or drugs. One is an active-duty Marine. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI after hitting two parked vehicles early Saturday morning. After taking several field sobriety tests, he was arrested and booked in the Morongo Basin jail – released later that day.
In another incident, a 19-year old girl lost control of her truck and hit a utility pole. The driver and her passenger, an 18-year old girl, were found to be under the influence of alcohol when sheriff deputies arrived. The driver was arrested for DUI while the passenger was arrested for being drunk in public. They, also, were booked in the Morongo Basin jail and released later.
The third accident involved a 21-year old man speeding on the Twentynine Palms Highway when he lost control of his vehicle, causing it to roll several times. His passenger, a 22-year old woman was knocked unconscious during the incident. She was treated at a local hospital for head and neck injuries. The driver, who abandoned his vehicle, was located later on and arrested on suspicion of felony DUI causing injuries to another. He was booked into the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga and held on $100,000 bail.
It is unfortunate that four people were involved and hurt – all because of alcohol and/or drugs.

Unfortunately, the New Year brought pain and suffering to a 9-year old girl in Big Bear. An unidentified snowboarder ran into a 9-year old girl causing her injuries. The snowboarder sped away without stopping to see what he did or if the little girl was okay.
The girl received a compound fracture to her femur plus several severe facial injuries. She was flown to a local hospital for medical treatment.
Authorities are asking anyone who witnessed this accident to call them at 909-866-0100 with any information they have.

Did you hear about a 71 year old man, who drowned in a swimming pool in a group home? The group home is own by a 61 year old woman. The woman was arrested on suspicion of 16 felony counts of elder abuse, not to mention an unlicensed board and care facility.
It is alleged that 22 disabled and mentally ill people lived in converted chicken coops and used buckets for toilets. I would like to know where the families of these people are. How can they allow these people to live this way?
Authorities are investigating. The victim’s children are suing a woman for the death of their father. Even though the victim suffered from dementia, alcoholism and a hip fracture, he should not have been given alcohol or left unsupervised to drown.
If you believe your loved one is the victim of elder abuse, contact a Elder Abuse attorney to investigate your allegations.
