Murder By Bacteria
The Unfortunate Possibility 

 

2004 Bennett Arson that was witnessed by a Danville Officer, the 2011 Walnut Creek CHP Arrest (setup), and this particular impersonation of a CHP officer occurred shortly after Officer Youngstrom was killed on SB 680 Alamo CA.  He's the same funny guy I'd met at Starbucks Walnut Creek CA on near the N. Main/Treat Blvd.  My view is slightly different as he killed by a job seeker being duped by a firm using his acquired skills for Fake H1b Visa interviews but his solution to the problem completely wrong.

One troubling incident was the person wearing CHP Work Coveralls known to be worn by officers at Truck Inspection Stations.  The officer represented himself as being employed by CHP but he was wearing a Dark Blue Navy Uniform.  In 2004 I thought it was a CHP officer that arrived at the truck fire but now I suspect it was a Danville Officer as the motorcycle had Black and White side box's not the CHP Harley Motorcycles.

That subtle mistake was ignored by CHP's Martinez offices and then their Internal Affairs Unit who would have benefited knowing I've narrowed down the suspects to police officers.

• Mechanic at Greggs Muffler Lafayette CA

OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE CAUSE OF FATAL FIERY CAR CRASH IN ALAMO  

Sunday, August 31, 2014 ALAMO, Calif. (KGO) -- One person is dead after a fiery car crash in Alamo Sunday morning. Investigators say the car was heading east on Stone Valley Road when it veered off the road into a residential area. 

The driver hit a light pole, several mailboxes and a fence. 

 The car then caught fire with the driver trapped inside. 

 Investigators are still trying to determine whether alcohol is a factor in this crash.

Judge: Norman Wielsch Sentenced to 14 Years | CNET SCANDAL

Commander Norman Wielsch

The long ago fact was that Mr. Ernie Wielsch (father) was once a German Concentration Camp guard during WWII but via that old picture realized they rented a shop space next to mine in around 1981.

That's when all the details and history started to fit, the long list of thefts, assaults and accidents that began in the 1980s. By 1990 I'd racked up ten accidents with only one being my fault but between 2001 and present day (2014) the accidents continued on as recently as July 2014. At this writing I am waiting for the facts to unfold with the August arrest of Officer Craig Thompson who arrested for beating up a black woman in Richmond CA. Not a good for Walnut Creek when I filed claims that Walnut Creek Police officers tried to run me over.

Get a lawyer but for some reason attorneys hang up. Perhaps they don't want to get killed like others near my litigation. It's as real as it gets with my litigation.

Arboviral Encephalitides

The arboviral encephalitides with high fatality rates include Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus, western equine encephalitis (WEE) virus, and eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus. They are members of the Alphavirus genus and are regularly
associated with encephalitis. These viruses were recovered from horses during the 1930s. VEE was isolated in the Guajira peninsula of Venezuela in 1930, WEE in the San Joaquin Valley of California in 1930, and EEE in Virginia
and New Jersey in 1933. A more common, but milder arboviral disease, is West Nile, which is caused by a flavivirus.
Although natural infections with these viruses occur following bites from mosquitoes, the viruses are also highly infectious when spread through the air. If intentionally released as a small particle aerosol, this virus may
be expected to infect a high percentage of people exposed within a few miles.

VEE virus has the capacity to produce epidemics. Outcomes are significantly worse for the very young and the very old. Up to 35% of people infected may die. WEE and EEE typically produce less severe and widespread disease but
are associated with death rates as high as 50%-75% in those with severe illness.

What Breed Of Bat?

Richmond police arrest Walnut Creek cop suspected of beating woman with bat

By Gary Klien and Rick Hurd Bay Area News Group

POSTED:   08/29/2014 10:51:55 AM PDT1 COMMENT| UPDATED:   57 MIN. AGO

RICHMOND -- A Walnut Creek police officer was arrested earlier this month on allegations that he donned a mask and attacked a woman with a bat while she was walking early in the morning.

Officer Gregory Thompson, 53, a Martinez resident, was booked Aug. 16 on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threats and felony vandalism, police said. He was released on an undisclosed bail and is on leave from the department.

Barry Grove, a Contra Costa County prosecutor, said the district attorney's office is reviewing whether to file criminal charges. He said a decision is expected next week.

The alleged incident was reported at about 2 a.m. Aug. 16 in the 4000 block of Clinton Avenue in Richmond. Police received several 911 calls about a woman screaming and a possible masked man armed with a bat, said Richmond police Capt. Bisa French.

When police arrived, a witness pointed to a vehicle where the suspect apparently retreated. Police found Thompson in the car along with a bat, a mask and two guns, French said. Police did not identify the type of mask or guns, or say if either of the guns was Thompson's service weapon.

Thompson also had wrist restraints in the car, police said. French noted that officers often carry restraints along with their other work gear.

Thompson identified himself as a police officer. While police were talking to Thompson, the alleged victim emerged from some bushes where she was hiding.

The woman told police she had run out of gas and was walking for assistance when she was attacked. The attacker also allegedly pounded the victim's car with the bat.

The woman was taken to a hospital for non-life threatening injuries from the bat blows, French said. She said Friday that the woman was expected to recover fully. Her age and city of residence were not available. The woman and Thompson apparently didn't know one another, French added.

Police were unable to locate a second woman who reportedly intervened to help the first. The second woman might also have been injured.

"We are aware of the arrest of one of our officers by the Richmond Police Department and are monitoring the situation very closely," Walnut Creek Police Chief Tom Chaplin said Friday. "We are very concerned about the arrest and will thoroughly investigate this matter."

Walnut Creek police Capt. Mark Perlite said in a statement that Thompson was a 30-year veteran of the department who was most recently assigned to the patrol division. Richmond police contacted the Walnut Creek police department on the day of the arrest, and Thompson was immediately placed on paid administrative leave.

Thompson could not be reached for comment. According to French, a home for sale in the Richmond neighborhood apparently belongs to Thompson's family.

Walnut Creek Police

This arrest is a culmination of incidents with Law Enforcement which includes a long list of incidents which often includes guns, police force and witness intimidation.

What this arrest means for me and the City

• On Public Access Channel 
• Being highly outspoken City Council Meetings 
• Clearly stating several Walnut Creek Police Officers (Old Guard) were behind events
• Filed claims with allegations of attempted murder

This arrest will likely lead to other arrests which will lead to the Claims filed with the city.   Hopefully they won't kill me like they've killed other witnesses in other Walnut Creek and surrounding cities.

The other problem is the risk insurers, their attorneys, and the how the cities bury claims, litigants and adversaries with of Operatives engaged in clandestine disruption campaigns targeting the residents into suicides, bankruptcy and reeking havoc with their careers, finances and which in my case simply threatened all my clients enough they left me.

Nobody wants my story in their business and that's why the Hobbs Act is my new best friend.

Local investment fund accused of defrauding Bay Area investors out of $700 million

Lafayette fund fined $5 million for defrauding investors

Phyllis Christopher and her former husband spent years pinching pennies so they would be comfortable in retirement. As part of their financial plan, the couple invested their savings -- more than $600,000 -- into a fund run by Bar-K, a Lafayette company.

But when they tried to cash out in 2007, fund manager Walter Ng told them that the funds were not available because of "a minor cash flow problem." Christopher recalls sitting in the investment office and crying upon hearing the news. Her first thought: She would have to sell her house.

It didn't take long for the "minor cash flow problem" to become a major crisis, not just for the Christophers but for an estimated 1,500 other Bay Area investors who had deposited millions with the company. Today, the 84-year-old Ng, youngest son Kelly, 57, and business associate Bruce Horwitz stand accused in a civil action of conning investors out of more than $700 million in IRA accounts, inheritances and other assets cobbled together over a lifetime -- in what may be one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in California's history.

Investors, most of them residents of Contra Costa and Alameda counties, have lost their savings and their homes. But despite the staggering losses, the managers who ran the fund have never been prosecuted for the alleged theft, leaving investors bitter and angry at a system they say failed them.

"When someone literally steals your money from you, it's a horrible feeling," says the 69-year-old Christopher, who lives in Rossmoor. "It's embarrassing and humiliating. But what is worse is that nothing has been done about it."

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

For decades, Bar-K Inc., one of several LLCs run by the Ngs, offered its clients what seemed like an easy -- and reliable -- return: It collected their cash, lent the money to local homebuyers and developers, and then paid dividends to investors from the loan proceeds. Investors received returns averaging 8 percent annually in exchange for a small fee, according to a class-action lawsuit investors have filed.

Bolstered by Walter Ng's standing as a trustworthy financier, investors flocked to Bar-K. But as the real estate market heated up in the early 2000s, the Ngs grew more ambitious, especially as Walter's older son, Barney, now 60, and Kelly took over the day-to-day operations and Walter spent more time on the golf course.

In 2002 the Ngs, together with Horwitz, a retired Orinda pediatrician, formed a new fund, called R.E. Loans. Rather than staying local, Walter Ng's sons began to lend money to developers for projects in at least 22 states, including condominiums in Atlanta and Las Vegas and a casino in Reno. They appraised the properties themselves, even though neither one was a certified appraiser. Doing so was a conflict of interest, attorneys say, since the Ngs stood to gain from higher appraised values.

In the increasingly profitable real estate market, business was booming. By 2007, R.E. Loans had raised more than $700 million and had more than $55 million in cash on hand, according to the lawsuit.

As a way of thanking investors, the Ngs held annual appreciation dinners. A string quartet entertained guests and Walter, Barney and Kelly Ng made speeches about how well the fund was performing.

"You could meet other investors, so it gave us all a very secure feeling," recalled Christopher, who met the Ngs through her former husband.

Dwight Christopher, 80, now suffers from Parkinson's disease and is worried about how he will afford his medical care after losing a significant portion of his savings.

THE END OF THE PARTY

In early 2007, R.E. Loans ran into trouble: Managers were told the fund was in violation of federal securities laws because more than half its investments were in out-of-state projects. The discovery meant they were prohibited from taking in new funds and had to contact investors, tell them about the violation, and offer to return their money.

Instead of disclosing the violation, the Ngs sent letters assuring clients their investment was safe. They did this even as the real estate market began its meteoric decline and more developers defaulted on their loans.

To stay solvent, the fund needed a new source of cash. On the advice of Greenberg Traurig, a global law firm with offices in Palo Alto and San Francisco, R.E. Loans applied for and received a $50 million loan from Wells Fargo Capital Finance in July 2007. Today, Greenberg is one of the defendants in the class-action lawsuit filed by investors in 2011, claiming the firm facilitated the fraud and delayed action that could have helped investors.

In addition to the bank loan, fund managers also structured a transaction that exchanged investors' equity for promissory notes, essentially trading clients' shares in properties around the country for IOUs. Managers pitched the move as necessary in order to reorganize the fund. Attorneys for investors now say the real intent was to hide their securities violation and conceal the fund's quickly deteriorating financial situation.

"It was a combination of events -- a perfect storm, if you will -- that sunk the company," said Richard Brown, one of the attorneys in a class-action lawsuit. "The first was the inability of the managers to see the risk involved in their type of investments in an economy that suffered a large financial shock. The second was their loose appraisals, and the third was their securities violation because they depended heavily on new money to pay investors their dividends.

"So when the banking markets failed and their stream of money stopped, they were doomed."

After the Wells Fargo loan, things improved temporarily for R.E. Loans, but the company risked not being able to pay dividends to investors, some of whom collected a monthly or an annual payment.

In December 2007, managers created a new investment, called Mortgage Fund '08. Investors flocked again, depositing a total of $40 million in the first three months and another $40 million in the next year, attorneys say. But instead of investing the proceeds, the Ngs used them to pay dividends to R.E. Loans clients, creating a classic Ponzi scheme, attorneys allege.

"There were so many people who didn't want to believe that they had been had. It's incredibly disappointing," said Deborah Kurtin, 65, a Piedmont investor who lost more than $2 million. The money included a settlement the Kurtins received after their son, Jared, was struck and killed by a truck in 2005; the family hoped to use that money to set up a music therapy program in Jared's memory at a local children's hospital.

They received only two checks before being told the fund was insolvent.

By 2009, R.E. Loans and Mortgage Fund '08 had stopped paying dividends. By 2011, both had filed for bankruptcy.

WARNINGS IGNORED

Wells Fargo has declined to comment on the case, citing ongoing litigation. Greenberg Traurig issued a statement calling the litigation "meritless" and saying accusations were baseless and defamatory. Walter Ng said he could not comment, and numerous calls and emails to Walter Ng's and Kelly Ng's attorneys were not returned.

In 2009, the FBI began an investigation, then handed its files to the Department of Justice. But when it came time to prosecute, the DOJ brought only one charge against Walter and Kelly Ng: keeping cash withdrawals under $10,000 to avoid detection. Both the FBI and the DOJ have refused to comment on the case.

Kelly Ng was sentenced to 18 months in prison and is now at federal prison in Lompoc. Walter Ng was given five years probation and was ordered to participate in a mental health treatment program and pay a $1,100 fine.

Barney Ng has never been charged in the case.

Last year the Securities and Exchange Commission sued Walter Ng, Kelly Ng, Bruce Horwitz and Mortgage Fund '08, alleging they ran a "multimillion-dollar securities fraud." The agency has reached a settlement with the plaintiffs, but has not yet disclosed the details. But the SEC is a regulatory agency and can only impose fines, not prison sentences.

The minor penalties have bewildered investors.

"Bernie Madoff was sentenced to life in prison, but these guys got a slap on the wrist," said John McGuire, 51, a Walnut Creek investor who lost $300,000. McGuire, who uses a wheelchair, hoped the money would help his family once he could no longer work, and pay for his children's college. Instead, his older son went to a junior college and his mother-in-law, also an investor, was forced to move in with the family.

Investors' attorneys say without a criminal case, a class-action lawsuit against the institutional players -- Greenberg and Wells Fargo -- is the only chance to recoup the lost money. Regardless, it will be a small comfort to investors, most of them in their 70s and 80s, many now wondering how they will support themselves.

"Seven hundred million dollars goes up in smoke and nothing gets done?" said Jerry Clair, a retired banker who said he lost $700,000 to the Ngs. "It's just unreal."

WHERE DiD THE MONEY GO?

Investors claim that Walter Ng's Bar-K investment firm and affiliated funds lost hundreds of millions of their dollars to shaky real estate investments and poor management. Here is a timeline of events as recounted in a class-action suit filed by investors:

1975: Bar-K is created to loan money to local developers. The company draws clients, who are rewarded with an average return of 8 percent.

2002: The Ng family launches R.E. Loans, a high-liquidity fund that promises to let investors cash out any time. The company begins investing in out-of-state real estate projects.

2007: R.E. Loans faces a cash-flow crisis after attorneys tell fund managers that the company's sizable out-of-state real estate portfolio puts it in violation of federal securities law. The company secures a $50 million loan from Wells Fargo Capital Finance, which negotiates a clause calling for it to be first in line for repayment, before investors.

December 2007: Managers launch a new fund, called Mortgage Fund '08, and encourage investors to deposit their money, collecting an estimated $80 million. Walter and Kelly Ng, along with Bruce Horwitz, begin to transfer funds from MF '08 into other accounts.

January 2009: R.E. Loans stops making payments to its investors.

June 2009: Mortgage Fund '08 stops making payments to investors.

2011: Both funds file for bankruptcy.

Antioch: 19-year-old shot by police sues city

Another Josh Peterson Coverup in the Works? Antioch: 19-year-old shot by police sues city By Karina Ioffee Contra Costa Times POSTED: 08/21/2014 06:14:10 PM PDT0 COMMENTS| UPDATED: 8 MIN. AGO ANTIOCH -- A man shot by Antioch police earlier this year has filed a lawsuit against the city for $2 million, claiming police used unnecessary force that left him with major injuries and trauma from the incident. The suit, filed on Thursday in federal court, alleges that a police officer shot 19-year-old Anthony Mabutas, Jr. in the stomach after encountering the young man outside a home in the 1600 block of Sycamore Drive on June 9. According to the lawsuit, Mabutas was unarmed, made no threats or any hand gestures that could be interpreted as posing a danger to the officer, a member of the department's SWAT team. The officer did not say anything before shooting the young man, who had to be airlifted and spent several days at the hospital recovering from his injuries. On Thursday, Antioch City Attorney Lynn Tracy Nerland declined to comment on the allegations, saying that the city has not been served with the lawsuit yet. Since being released from the hospital, Mabutas has been jailed on charges of drawing a weapon in a threatening manner and carrying a loaded firearm, both of which are connected to the June 4 incident, authorities said. His attorney, Mark Kelsey, called the charges "baseless" and said multiple eyewitnesses will be able to corroborate that the young man was not armed when he was shot, although a weapon was found in the area. Kelsey also called on Antioch police to purchase wearable cameras and use them while on patrol. "There is no excuse in our modern era for any officer who may have to use deadly force to not use them," Kelsey said. "Every police department owes that duty of care to the community." An Antioch police spokesman declined to comment on the idea of officers wearing body cameras. Staff writer Paul Burgarino contributed to this report. Follow Karina Ioffee at Twitter.com/kioffee.

Contra Costa Hate Crimes Network

Really?

After being beaten down many times in the legal system a pattern emerged.  My first incident was at the end of Santa Monica Drive Pleasant Hill CA where two separate murders occurred in 1979 or 1980.  These occurred less than 500 feet from my property.

Yes Enough Cases For Federal Civil Rights Investigations

In 1986 there were two well publicized lynchings of blacks near the Lafayette and Concord CA BART Stations.  Up at Newhall Park there was another Lynching but one that barely made the news was at Paso Nogal park.  In 2009 Timothy Mitchell was shot dead by CNET Commander Norman Wielsch in a case of alleged mistaken identity which was about two after Pittsburg Detective Ray Giacomelli was killed by Earl Foster but few know that Giacomelli killed Bernard Bynum in 1982.  I know because Tiny and his brother worked for me and their cousin is Supervisor Federal Glover.

Hate Crimes

There is a long history of murders in the East County that have gone unsolved with an occasional push via the press but an unusual incident was Eiko Sugihara who was found burned to death in her car down the road from the other Hunsacker Road infamous murder case involving Pamela Vitale wife of CNN Attorney Daniel Horowitz.   There are gay transgenders jumping from BART structures and DAnville moms from St. Isadore Church in Danville rolling down ravines in Mt. Diablo that independently appear benign but take a close look at persons on this Letter To Senator Feinstein where I've detailed a group of deaths that based on extensive personal knowledge and research lead to CNET.

Benny Chetcuti Jr.

h

This person is one of several links between San Bruno and Walnut Creek. I've traced Chetcuti's business scams to Daly City, San Bruno, the East Bay, and beyond. Unfortunately there is old crowd from Bing Crosby's in the local real estate/mortgage/banker/developers who are interwoven. There are many designs, overlapping designs with circles that look like the old Amway meetings from the 70s. One particular real estate deal links Benny to
The Bing Lapus/ Benny Chetcuti / Roozzee real estate transaction connection is the main reason Lafayette Chief Christiansen refused to investigate my 2011 Hit and Run likely connected to the PG&E Laptop theft that I'm going to say is one of the worst domestic terrorism incidents in the country.  It's likely the maps were used to take out the Metcalf Station Attack.

Stephen Tanabe

Lived down the street from me in Danville. Prime suspect in blowing up my truck but arson is a tool Law Enforcement uses in Contra Costa County to solve problems.
It was attempted murder, it was premeditated, planned and likely connected to Alamo 1st Mormons, my ex-wife and the Danville Police.

Gary Vinson Collins

The core suspect in the Bennett/Collins/Danville Incident where Mr. Collins was allowed to beat a resident (300# to 160#) and try to kill said resident and was allowed to leave.
Sounds like a Hobbs Act Violation to me.

Louis Lombardi

This officer worked for San Ramon Police under Sheriff's department contract but Lombardi pulled me over on Green Valley Road, used his weapon as pulling his weapon then along with Danville Officers Tierney, Paul Murphy and Mike Ireland ran a full blown campaign of tickets that were further enforced when Judge Joel Golub added over time became $17,000 in fines that's keep me driving.

Tim Schultz (Captain)

Decided to falsely accuse Bennett of assault and battery on a City Employee in August 2012 the City Employees who later attacked Bennett at Panera Bread were OK to attack this resident as like all other Walnut Creek police investigations it's OK to beat residents when you belong to the UNION and covered by the Municipal Pooling Authority

Eric Bergen (PPD)

Convicted of murdering my friend Cynthia Kempf in 1988 during a failed takeover robbery.

George Elsie

Convicted of murdering my friend Cynthia Kempf in 1988 during a failed takeover robbery at the Pittsburg CA Railroad Ave Safeway

Paul Murphy

Creator of faked police reports which preceded the deadly Kinder Morgan Explosion in 2004 which is probably connected to Gary Vinson Collins who like many Cotra Costa Witnesses ends up dead.

Greg Thompson

Liked to drink at Dallimonte's bar - tried to attack me at the Martinez B of A stating he was going to drop me but he wasn't too happy when I verbally blasted him about his connections to CNET. Just another retiree from Walnut Creek beating on residents. Mr. Fish is actually a Walnut Creek Police officer that used to drink with Oberhoffer, Peter Branagh's personal secretary and that's where Randall Wanser hung out as well. It's in the neighborhood, the building is owned by one of Seeno's friends and that's why I got such a good deal.  It was too good to be true but in 2010 vacancy rates were high.

Mary Nolan

San Ramon Attorney convicted of tax evasion and conspiracy. She is not the only attorney to use Butler but currently is only attorney convicted and then disbarred.

Joel Bryden

Former Chief of Walnut Creek Police who o November 2nd 2011 was given documents/information regarding attorney Merritt Wiesinger, CNET and Danville Officers plus was fully informed of Bennett's FBI status, was one of several persons connected to CNET right around the time the FBI arrested Wielsch and Butler in 2011.  One conversation occured July 6th 2011, I was arrested the next day, then my PG&E laptop was breached, then my car was totaled in Lafayette CA by a police officer from San Francisco with connections to Hugh Smith (PG&E contractor) and Walnut Creek Police officers.

Mike Chan (Sgt)

Worked with Captain TIm Shultz who decided Bennett attacked a city worker. This allegation emerged a week after Bennett's car was totaled by a police officers connected to Walnut Creek, San Francisco, Pleasant Hill with cover provided by Lafayette Police

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT Out with the bad and in with the better

Fearing PG&E

First item Second item Third item

Senior Contra Costa County Law Enforcement Official and Concord Private Investigator Indicted
Two Alleged to Have Engaged in a Spectrum of Corrupt Activities, Including Stealing Methamphetamine and Marijuana from Evidence and Selling it for Profit, Protection of a Prostitution Establishment, and Armed Robberies of Prostitutes

U.S. Attorney’s Office August 15, 2011

Northern District of California (415) 436-7200

SAN FRANCISCO—A federal grand jury in San Francisco indicted Norman Wielsch of Antioch, Calif., and Christopher Butler of Concord, Calif., on Aug. 8, 2011, for federal narcotics offenses, civil rights violations, and extortion, United States Attorney Melinda Haag announced.
According to the indictment, Wielsch, 50, and Butler, 50, are alleged to have participated together in criminal activities made possible by Wielsch’s position as the commander of the Contra Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team (CNET). The indictment alleges the following abuses of Wielsch’s position, in which Butler, a private investigator based in Concord, participated and assisted:

• Wielsch, aided and abetted by Butler, stole from county evidence facilities methamphetamine and marijuana that had been seized in CNET operations. Wielsch and Butler sold some of the stolen narcotics and intended to sell the remainder. The quantity of methamphetamine sold by Wielsch and Butler was sufficiently large to trigger a mandatory minimum term of 10 years’ imprisonment, if proven at trial.
• Wielsch and Butler participated together in a phony “sting” operation in which they falsely detained a person under the guise of a legitimate law enforcement operation, conducted warrantless searches, and kept narcotics that were taken from the person during the “sting.”
• Butler opened a massage parlor in Pleasant Hill, Calif., in which prostitution activities took place. He required the women working in the parlor to make weekly payments, which he shared with Wielsch, in exchange for Wielsch’s agreement to provide protection to the women from law enforcement action.
• Wielsch and Butler together conducted “stings” directed at prostitutes. Wielsch and Butler identified individuals they believed to be prostitutes through online advertisements and arranged meetings with them, typically in hotels. Wielsch and Butler then staged what purported to be legitimate sting operations, but instead of seizing evidence and citing the prostitutes, they unlawfully took the prostitutes’ money and property for themselves.

“This indictment alleges a pattern of lawlessness that not only violated the trust of the people of Contra Costa County, but also brings dishonor to all the fine men and women in law enforcement who work hard, do the right thing, and risk their lives every day protecting our communities,” U.S. Attorney Haag said. In May 2011, the Contra Costa County District Attorney asked the U.S. Attorney’s Office to lead the investigation. “The District Attorney’s Office led the initial investigation and did a thorough and professional job,” U.S. Attorney Haag said. “When the extent of the alleged misconduct became apparent, however, District Attorney Mark Peterson asked our office and the FBI to take the lead. We took that responsibility without hesitation.”
Wielsch and Butler were arrested this morning by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who have been investigating the case since May 2011.
The defendants’ initial appearance took place this morning in federal court in San Francisco; they are currently being held without bail pending detention hearings. Butler’s detention hearing is scheduled for Aug. 18, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins in San Francisco. Wielsch’s detention hearing is scheduled for Aug. 22, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler in Oakland, Calif.
The maximum statutory penalties for each count are as follows, although any sentence imposed by the court following conviction would take into consideration the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3553:
Count 1 – Narcotics Conspiracy, 21 U.S.C. § 846 (Wielsch and Butler)

News and Press Releases
Former CNET Commander Sentenced To 14 Years For Drug, Robbery, And Civil Rights Violations
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEMay 22, 2013
Norman Wielsch, the former Commander of the Central Contra Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team and a Special Agent Supervisor of the California Department of Justice, was sentenced to 168 months in federal court in Oakland, yesterday, United States Attorney Melinda Haag announced.

On December 5, 2012 Wielsch pleaded guilty to five felony counts – one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana and 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, one count of theft from programs receiving federal funds, two counts of civil rights conspiracy, and one count of Hobbs Act robbery.

In pleading guilty to the charges, Wielsch, 52, admitted stealing from evidence facilities $30,000 to $70,000 worth of marijuana and methamphetamine that had been seized during legitimate CNET raids. Specifically, Wielsch admitted that he stole at least twenty pounds of marijuana and more than 400 grams of high-purity methamphetamine (“ice”) between November 2010 and February 2011. He further admitted conspiring to distribute these drugs with his codefendant, private investigator and former Antioch police officer Christopher Butler, 51.

In pleading to the civil rights conspiracies, Wielsch admitted that he and Butler participated together in a phony “sting” operation in which they falsely detained a young man under the guise of a legitimate law enforcement operation, conducted warrantless searches, and kept narcotics that were taken during the “sting.” Wielsch also admitted that he and Butler staged what purported to be legitimate sting operations against prostitutes, but instead of seizing evidence and citing the prostitutes, they unlawfully took the prostitutes’ money and property for themselves. Wielsch acknowledged that they took more than $10,000 from individuals in the course of their prostitution robberies.

The sentence imposed by U.S. District Court Judge Saundra Brown Armstrong also included a $150,000 fine and five year period of supervised release. Wielsch has been in custody since he was remanded at the time of his guilty plea.

Wielsch and Butler were indicted by a federal Grand Jury on August 9, 2011. Butler pleaded guilty on May 4, 2012, to a Superseding Information charging the same narcotics conspiracy, theft from programs receiving federal funds, two civil rights conspiracies, and robbery counts to which Wielsch pleaded guilty, as well as extortion under color of official right and illegal wiretapping. On September 25, 2012, Butler was sentenced to 96 months imprisonment and a $20,000 fine, receiving a sentencing reduction for his cooperation with law enforcement in this and other investigations.

Hartley M. K. West is the Assistant U.S. Attorney who is prosecuting the case with the assistance of Alycee Lane. The prosecution is the result of a lengthy investigation by the FBI with the assistance of the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office.
