Kickoff on America’s favorite past time is just about ready to start. For many football fans, when it’s time for Super Bowl LII, everyone’s a fan…and Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk. The California Office of Traffic Safety, Police, Sheriff and the CHP are huddling up for a special designated driver reminder to urge football fans across the nation not to drop the ball on this issue.

Pomona Police Department will deploy additional officers on special DUI Saturation Patrols specifically to stop and arrest drivers showing signs of alcohol or drug impairment during and following the game.

Impaired driving near or above the .08 BAC limit can be deadly, and even small amounts of alcohol can impair judgment to make driving unsafe. In 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported there were 10,497 fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes involving drunk drivers nationwide. California recorded 1,059 DUI deaths at .08 BAC or above according to the NHTSA.

Pomona Police Department supports the new effort from the Office of Traffic Safety that aims to educate all drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Drug-impaired driving is a problem on California roadways. Like drunk driving, drugged driving is impaired driving, which means it is dangerous and illegal. Whether the drug is legally prescribed, an illicit drug or marijuana, driving while drug impaired poses a threat to the driver, vehicle passengers, and other motorists, and driving high can lead to a DUI.

“Be sure to have a game plan for the night so friends and family know who the designated driver is,” said Cpl. Scheppmann, Pomona Police Department. “We want to encourage folks to turn over their keys to a sober driver before the game begins. Impaired driving can result in serious crashes, injuries or death. If you don’t have an ‘MVP’ to make sure folks get home safely, consider other ride options.”

There are many other ways to ensure a safe ride home besides relying on a friend. The OTS DDVIP app is now available for free download on iOS and Android devices. The app offers enhanced features, allowing users to search all participating bars and restaurants throughout California. Additionally, the app users can easily order a sober ride from Uber, Lyft or Curb.

This Super Bowl weekend, be a team player and help keep impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel. Don’t fumble! Designate your sober driver before the big game begins. And remember: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.

This enforcement effort is funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration who reminds everyone to be alert and ‘Report Drunk Drivers – Call 911’!

Suspect: Jamora Augustus, 37-year-old resident of Chino Hills

SUMMARY:

On January 30, 2018 at approximately 8:00 p.m., Augustus Jamora assaulted the victim at her residence. Jamora held a hand gun to the victim’s head and threatened to kill her, then physically assaulted the victim’s relative, who attempted to intervene. Jamora fled the residence to an unknown location before Chino Hills officers arrived. Emergency Protective Orders were granted for the victims, and a warrant for Jamora’s arrest was authored.

The following day, Jamora returned to the victim’s residence, and was armed with a gun. Responding deputies surrounded the location and conducted evacuations of nearby homes and businesses. Deputies conducted public announcements, instructing Jamora to surrender, but he refused. Jamora barricaded himself inside the residence for approximately one hour, then attempted to escape from the rear of the residence. Jamora was quickly apprehended and taken into custody without incident.

Jamora was booked into the West Valley Detention Center for charges of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Criminal Threats, and violation of an Emergency Retraining Order.

Residential Water Usage Up 10 Percent Within JCSD’s Service Area
In the winter of 2016-2017, California experienced record-setting rain and snow throughout the central and northern parts of the state. Consequently, Governor Brown declared an end to California’s emergency drought status in April of 2017.
Southern California is classified as a semi-arid climate and Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD) customers received average rainfall of about 12 inches last winter. JCSD relies on groundwater, which is stored underground in basins, for 100 percent of our water supply. Groundwater basins are slow to refill after a drought and average rain will not cause water levels to rise significantly. As a result, the JCSD Board of Directors resolved to remain at Level 2 of the Water Conservation Plan, which limits irrigation and other water-wasting practices. These measures will allow sufficient time for groundwater basins to recover from the drought.
There is no way to know if our area is in the beginning of a new drought cycle, however, JCSD’s service area is currently classified by the U.S. Drought Monitor as abnormally dry (see attached map). JSCD personnel monitor daily water consumption and local groundwater supply throughout the area. Residential water usage has gone up 10 percent in the last two months. This equates to 142,807,459 more gallons.

JCSD is urging all residents to check their irrigation systems and irrigate their landscapes no more than necessary. Generally, grass needs very little water in the winter due to colder temperatures and shorter days. The water we save today will recharge our groundwater basins and be available when we need it.
Feel free to contact the JCSD Water Conservation team at (951) 727-3521 or visit their website at http://www.jcsd.us for more information.

TWO STUDENTS ARRESTED FOR CRIMINAL THREATS

Last night, the Corona Police Department received information of a 15-year-old male Corona High School student who threatened violence towards the campus of Corona High School.  Through the investigation, officers were able to view social media posts sent by the suspect. The suspect was identified and subsequently arrested at his residence.  The suspect was later booked into Riverside Juvenile Hall.   No weapons were located at the suspect’s residence.  

Today, another Corona High School student posted on social media a picture of himself with a weapon, making threats toward Corona High School students. School administration brought this to the attention of the School Resource Officer assigned to Corona High School. An 18-year-old male student was identified, detained and it was determined the weapon shown in the photo had been rented at a shooting range for use at that range.  No weapons were located at the suspect’s residence.  This investigation is ongoing. 

We’d like to take this opportunity to remind our residents to avoid reposting or reporting crimes or suspicious behavior via social media that may not be monitored 24/7. Please call dispatch at (951) 736-2330, option 3 for issues that need immediate attention.

Unsubstantiated rumors about these arrests are being posted on various social media websites. For accurate information please follow official websites.

The Corona Police Department takes every threat seriously and has zero tolerance for any behavior that threatens the safety our schools.

Additional Draft District Maps for Public Review
Attention Norco residents, as you may know, the City Council is currently considering the implementation of a district-based election system. Included for your information are links to download additional draft districting maps, along with demographic profiles of the proposed districts in each map. These draft maps will be presented during Public Hearing No. 4 tonight at the Special City Council Meeting held at Nellie Weaver Hall at 7 p.m. The City Council is urging residents to participate in the process by attending the meeting and providing input.

Draft “Tan” Map: http://bit.ly/2DE5bCn 

Draft “Yellow” Map: http://bit.ly/2BoPOaV 

Opportunities for Public Input 

Public input is vital in order to understand how and if a district-based election system is suitable for Norco. There are three ways to provide input: 

1. Email Comments to cityclerk@ci.norco.ca.us or Mail Comments to Norco City Hall ATTN: City Clerk at 2870 Clark Avenue, Norco, CA 92860 

2. Attend the City Council Meetings on January 24 and February 7, and participate in public comments 

3. Draw and Submit Your Own Proposed Neighborhood Map (Blank maps are available on the website here: http://bit.ly/2F9Nze0) 

Background on the Consideration and Implementation of a District-Based Election System 

The City of Norco was served with a demand letter from Shenkman Hughes on October 2, 2017, alleging a violation of the California Voting Rights Act and threatening litigation if district conversion is not implemented. Norco currently utilizes an at-large election system in which registered voters cast votes for every Council seat. Changing to district-based elections would result in the City being divided into five districts, each with one Council Member who resides in the district and is chosen solely by the voters in that district. 

For more information about district-based elections, visit http://www.norco.ca.us/districts, email cityclerk@ci.norco.ca.us, or call (951) 270-5617. Check the website periodically for updates.
