X NEWSCRIME + PUBLIC SAFETY Deputy injured in ambush at Rancho Cucamonga jail By BRIAN ROKOS | [email protected] | The Press-Enterprise PUBLISHED: November 14, 2019 at 7:55 pm | UPDATED: November 14, 2019 at 7:58 pm Three inmates at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga faked a medical emergency and ambushed a sheriff’s deputy on Wednesday, Nov. 13, with one throwing a cup of vomit onto her and cutting her face with a razor blade, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said. The deputy was treated at a hospital and released. The attack happened about 6:10 p.m. as the deputy was supervising inmates in a housing unit. One inmate, Kyanna Patterson, appeared to be having a seizure, while a second, Rose Villalobos, appeared to be assisting her, a news release said. As the deputy approached them, Villalobos stood up and threw the cup, striking the deputy’s face, and then cut the deputy, the release said. Villalobos then grabbed the deputy’s radio and used it to strike her several times. Patterson also threw a cup at the deputy, the release said. Other deputies then detained the inmates. The investigation also determined that inmate Amber Tena served as the lookout and told the other inmates when the deputy was approaching, the release said. Villalobos is in jail after pleading no contest to an assault charge; Patterson is in custody on suspicion of attempted murder, felony hit and run and felony evading. Tena is serving a sentence after most recently being convicted of battery by a prisoner, according to Superior Court records.

Then it destroyed most of the documents BY WES VENTEICHER NOVEMBER 14, 2019 05:00 AM Caltrans destroyed 19 million pages of documents in June 2019 that it paid to print 8 months earlier. The pages were construction standards for contractors. Caltrans paid more to destroy the pages than to use them. BY AKIRA OLIVIA KUMAMOTO A midlevel Caltrans manager gave an order in June to destroy 19 million pieces of paper the department had paid to print eight months earlier. The order concluded a lengthy bureaucratic saga outlined in email exchanges The Sacramento Bee obtained through the Public Records Act. 11/15/2019 Caltrans destroyed 20,000 sets of books it paid to print | The Sacramento Bee This story is a subscriber exclusive Printed on the pages were construction standards and specifications that contractors refer to when they’re building state-funded projects. Had they not been destroyed, the double-sided pages would have been bound into 19,500 sets of reference books and sold to the contractors, along with local agencies around California that use them. For months, the manager juggled conflicting orders from above and subordinates’ worries about waste. While the unbound books sat around, costs mounted. Caltrans ultimately paid the Office of State Printing $640,000 for far fewer of the books than it would have received under an original plan with a $565,000 price tag. Caltrans has printed the books every few years for decades, periodically updating its guidelines, and in recent years has posted the standards online. “It’s kind of like the Caltrans bible for specifying how they want the work built,” said Greg Souder, an estimating manager with Berkeley-based engineering contractor O.C. Jones. “You have to have it in one version or another.” Engineers keep copies of the standards in their offices, and construction managers often refer to them on job sites, according to contractors. In late 2017, a Caltrans steering committee discussed switching to electronic-only copies of the standards, as New York, New Jersey and Florida had done, but decided against it, according to emails. In August 2018, Caltrans Chief Engineer Karla Sutliff signed a memorandum of understanding outlining a process for posting the standards online and printing the books. The memo said the 2018 standards would be used for all projects starting Oct. 22. Officials in Caltrans’ Division of Design decided to print 30,000 sets of the books based on historical demand and bulk pricing options. Each set included three volumes. The price was $565,302, according to Office of State Publishing quotes. The office printed the 30,000 sets in October 2018, but only bound 5,000 copies into books initially due to delays with another project, according to emails. https://www.sacbee.com/article237326579.html 2/9 11/15/2019 Caltrans destroyed 20,000 sets of books it paid to print | The Sacramento Bee The remaining 25,000 sets — about 25 million unbound pages — sat on pallets in a warehouse. Managers would order 5,500 more to be bound in January. Paul Chung, a design engineering program principal in the Division of Design, gave the order in June to recycle the remaining 19,500 sets. Caltrans declined an interview request. “After we started printing hard copies of the contract standard book sets, Caltrans received feedback from stakeholders that the digital version of the books was sufficient, and there was no longer the same need for as many printed copies of these books as in years past,” spokesman Matt Rocco said in an email. “Also, Caltrans staff in the field was able to transition to the digital version much sooner than expected.” ‘COSTING THE TAXPAYERS’ Emails suggest Sutliff, the chief engineer and Chung’s boss, had doubts in the middle of printing in October 2018 about whether to continue with the process she had outlined. She said she was unavailable for comment. The Bee’s August 2019 request to Caltrans for all emails and spending records related to the printing of the standards didn’t produce any emails from Sutliff, who had a decision-making role in what to do about the books. She retired in September, according to Caltrans. In an Oct. 3, 2018 email related to finishing the books, Chung wrote, “Karla has some instruction, let’s talk this morning. Need some quick action this week.” In a followup email, Chung asked Mohsen Sultan, chief of the Office of Construction Contract Standards, for contracts and other agreements related to the books, anticipating “questions likely from Karla.” The back-and-forth continued for months, with Chung asking Sultan about various options, storage fees and other details and Sultan relaying answers from the Office of State Publishing.
