El Camino Village man arrested in drug raid

Thanks for this report. According to the article that guy lives only 4 short blocks on a main road leading to Mark Twain Elementary School. Lock him up!

maybe you should check your sources there buddy... the cops found 9 grams of marijuana and 5 xanax pills

GOOD this guy and his friends are nothing but trouble. About time someone did something. This guy has been dealing drug out his house for a whlie now and having loud parties that keep my kids up all hours of the night. Worst thing is the parents KNEW what was goin on...how could they not?!?

another case of lies. Leave the guy alone and get your facts straight. his neighbors need to find something better to do

what part is lies? anyone who lives on the street has known what been goin on at that house and the cops found the drugs on him so who is lying here? your argument really doesnt have a leg to stand on. must be one of his in-denial family members.

for reals who are these neighbors... if you have a problem with him or his friends we will b glad to settle this... all you act like u werent kids before trying to have fun unless your a bunch of losers... which you probably are... again if you have problems say something to our faces!

so you must be the mom or dad..in denial about the whole situation..LOL!!! or maybe u buy from him and are mad ur connect got busted!!! typical white trash middle america family. mess around in stuff you shouldnt be doing then point fingers at everyone else when you get caught.

"if you have problems say something to our faces!" - haha! wow, thataway to show that maturity. guess we see how this kid was raised. maybe you should have gotten in his face when he was turning your house into a drug spot right in front of YOUR FACE!

still waiting to hear about those lies you keep talking about..

no ones pointing fingers but you, who cares what they are doing it doesnt affect you in any way.. i read all these comments and your the only one on here who sounds rediculous.. your getting all worked up about something that isnt even your business... and yo want call the family white trash like you are any better.. i cant wait till your kids grow up and do the same stuff those kids are... how about you get back on your facebook and worry about yourself. And i think they are right, if you have a problem go say something to them directly even though im sure YOU are too scared and immature and thats why you are talking all that mess online.

so if i were to go over and there and talk to the gun-carrying, drug dealing gangbangers that hang out at that house and voice my concerns about the derelicts and meth heads who live down the street stopping by to pick up drugs every day, or the gangbangers who hang out there and start fights with each other (this has happened on more than one occasion, everyone who lives there remembers the big brawl those thugs started a couple of years ago), or the alcohol bottles they leave littering the street EVERY WEEKEND... what exactly would happen? a nice friendly chat? hell no, i'd probably have my life threatened.

so yeah, it does effect me. i haven't lived around here as long as most of the other families on this block but there's no place for that kind of shit in a nice community like this, especially two blocks from a middle school and four blocks from an elementary school.

of course, with parents that are in denial and enablers who buy from him living up and down the street, im sure nothing will change.

First of all that wasnt a parent and this is bullshit you will see in the retraction letter this is false information the sargent gave to the man who wrote this ridicoulous article. How are you going to sit there and talk down to this kid and his parents who have been nothing but good poeple. Yea him and his freinds like to party and drink but thats what young men do. So find something better to do then sit around and right comments about people you dont know and situations you are clueless about.

kid?? according to the article, he's 20 years old!!! he's a MAN. like i said...enablers. stop making excuses. stop pointing fingers. stop blaming. own up to your mistakes.

"party and drink" is not what young men do. some young men actually, oh, you know..don't deal drugs, and do stuff like getting a steady job, going to school, not walking around with unregistered guns, etc.

false information? i'll believe it when i see it printed. frankly, i'm going to believe a police SGT. over someone like you who is clearly just a family member or family friend who is making excuse after excuse for this guy. and people like you are why as soon as he gets out of jail he'll be right back up to his same old antics.

To everybody that has a negative comment about this article, who are any of you to sit and judge especially when you only have the false facts this article posted.None of you have the right to talk about another's family and there situation that they are in. If you had a problem in the past or have a problem now why cant you be grown about it and be a kind and courteous neighbor and approach them with your issues about whats going on that you dont approve of. Instead everybody wants to blog about it like that's actually going to solve anything. And just for the record everybody needs to know that people make mistakes and you live and learn from them, it doesn't mean that there forever a bad person and should be locked away for life. [witch is never going to happen] SO people who are wishing that get off your high horse because the situation isn't even that bad. And i cant believe you people want to sit and carry on an argument like a couple of kids on a public web site weather or not the comments are anonymous. You all should be embarrassed for yourselves!!!

Hahaha gang bangers in el camino village? How do you go from white trash to gang bangers? Seems that you are the ignorant one. I feel sorry for your children for having uncultured, nosey, pathetic,scared,immature parents. And i bet you wont even let them attend Mark Twain or Rogers because it is to "GHETTO" for your taste. So no it doesnt seem to concern you at all. Move if you have such a problem. No ones forcing you to live there.

if they aren't gang bangers then what would you call them? would you prefer just THUGS? they are dealing drugs, doing drugs, carrying guns, threatening to shoot people - don't deny that any of this is going on because we both know for a FACT that it is!! They even have a name for their little "gang" - what is it? ECV Kings or some shit like that??? Wow, how cooooool! Don't act like I'm some random person who is commenting on this. I live near this house for the past few years and I have seen FIRST HAND what is going on so don't try and bullshit me with your lies.

btw - to the last comment who mentioned "immature parents" - who is more immature: the parent who wants a safe, drug-free neighborhood for their children to grow up in, or the parent who lets their kid sell drugs on their very own front porch??

the answer to that one should be a no-brainer, if you have a brain.

your argument is so dumb anyway. "leave people alone and let them do what they want. it doesn't concern you."

NO, WHAT THIS GUY WAS DOING IS ILLEGAL.

that's like saying - "well, i know there are murderers out there, but as long as they don't kill me or my family, i'm fine with them roaming the streets."

UHH..NO! ONCE AGAIN, ITS ILLEGAL.

I don't know what the Daily Breeze comment refers to.

Good...put the thug in jail and keep him there. When his young friends who are commenting on here decide to grow up and start their own family, buy their own home and be successful, then they will understand.

The 3 unregistered guns should tell the story...LOSERS

To begin with, this all started with a neurotic dog on the fourth of July and the lack of parking on this street. The person(s) who help ruin this helpful and friendly boys future had a dog that would be beside itself on the Fourth of July and would take it out on the boy's family, even though they were only using legal over the counter fireworks. it was the neighbor further up the street that had the loud stuff, but that didn't stop this couple. Additionally, one of these persons said that there wouldn't be a parking problem on this street if the boy's family didn't live there. at the time, the boy's family had five driver's living there with five cars. This couple, the two of them, had four cars and a motorhome. The male of this couple is a retiree that volunteers to ride with the Community Sherrif Patrol, a sherrif wanna-be. I guess that with all of this put together, this couple saw a perfect opportunity to strike. Problem is, the police didn't find much, less than a half an ounce of marijuana and 9 pain pills used to quell the pain in the boys back after working out. This boy was assaulted by a black sherrif in the county jail waiting for bond because he did exactly what this sherrif told him to do-look at him. This boy had never been arrested before and didn't know what to do and the jailer slammed his face into a door jamb when no-one else was around. As for the crazy drug dealer with guns, the guns belong to the boys father for target shooting uses only, the boy doesn't even have access to the guns as they are locked up. It just amazes me that people can be as mean-spirited and cruel as they are. All it would have taken would have been a word to the boy's parents and everything would surely have stopped. I know these people, they have helped raise half the kids in this neighborhood as this was always the neighborhood safe place to play. They even took in three high-school kids that didn't have any place to go, at their own expense, and provide them with food and shelter, no charge. Everyone needs help at some time and they were there to help. By the way, another kid a few doors down, who didn't come around, writes the Crime page for the Daily Breeze, you figure it out. They are certainly not White Trash, they are Christian, loving and caring people, the whole family and would do anything for you if you only ask. The boy made a bad judgement, kids that age do, but he has learned from it and is truly sorry.

With all that said, I hope and pray that none of you or your families ever have to go through the worry and pain that this family was put though, ever.

a boy? he's 20 years old! and the guy who writes the crime page for the daily breeze is larry altman and he doesnt live on this street! wtf are you talking about??? some of you people are NUTS.

Anonymous: The person you're referring to writes occasionally for the breeze but NOT in the crime section. He is a good friend of everyone on the block and has lived there a long time has absolutely nothing to do with the crap that was started by that couple you referred to. Dont drag him into this.

Excuse me, I would like to say something about this entire situation. My son made a mistake, he admits it. It was mentioned about what real guys do... He is about to take his journeyman's entry test to become an electrician. He has been laid off from his previous job for about eight months now and somewhere during that period make the mistake he did. We did not know about it until the seven sherrif's were pointing their assault rifles at my daughter, sleeping on the couch with her four month old baby. She has moved back to the South Bay and is looking for her own place for the baby, herself and her fiance. It's amazing to me that none of you would come and tell me what you had suspected was going on. My wife and I are very friendly and will do most anything for any of you. We have been harrassed by some because there were always kids at our house. Ask any of the kid's parents and they'll tell you that they felt safe knowing that their kids were at our house. This has carried on to the present day where most of the kids these neighbors saw were those same ones as when they were little. As for the gang affiliation, the ECV was meant to be an ironic joke by the neightborhood kids because they knew that nothing like that would exist in our neighborhood - it was a joke, nothing more. To exemplify the attitude that was brought to our house, my 19 year old son, too kind and gentle for his own good, was also put into the squad car, later released, because he is big and considered a threat. Just another case of making assumptions. He would not hurt anyone and if he felt you needed any help with anything, would be the first to volunteer. We are not "White Trash" as had been accused, just victims of ignorance and bias. We don't ever wish any harm to our neighborhood and will protect it and anyone in it at any time. My son made a bad judgement, he knows that, and is paying the price, not blaming it on anyone else but himself. A note on the gun toting situation, he does not even own a gun nor has he fired any of mine. He rides his dirtbike and snowboards. For those of you writing that may not be from the neighborhood, I apologize for any angst my son's behavior may have caused. He really is a good boy (man) even though you don't know him. For the rest of that are from the neighborhood, I also apologize but I am hurt that you have not summoned the courage to let me know what dis-pleases you. My wife and I would do anything to accomodate you, if asked. Thank you

I am somewhat a family member and not ashamed to admit it. As a matter of fact I am very proud of him! All you who know him know what kind of person he is. He is hard working , always there for you if you need something, polite, funny ,like a son to me and WE will help him through this. His parents did raise him right.Many things that were written in the Daily Breeze are simply not true. I think the paper really should get the facts right before they write something. He is not in a gang, and he does not carry guns. I find it sad that some people find pleasure in trying to destroy someones life. He is not a threat to anyone's kids.He is wonderful with kids and hes going to make a perfect Daddy!

I don't know you or your family but I can sympathize with what you are going through. Please don't read these comments anymore, you don't have to defend yourself or your son. People like to judge others so they don't have to look at themselves and they will always think they are better than you until something unfortunate happens to them or a loved one. I've read many articles in the DB that I had personal knowledge about and they were full of lies. Unfortunately, those who don't have anything better to do like to spend their time judging others. It's a sad world we live in today. There's no more compassion or "walk a mile in my shoes" anymore.

The words that these evil people sit and take the time to write only reflects what they have inside themselves. HATE! And the hate that spills from them is blindly directed at this person! I do know him personally. No, I am not a family member and I am not bitter that my "connection" to buy drugs is no longer. Although I am not family I see him as a brother and an uncle to my small children who adore him! His father said it perfectly: he is a victim of IGNORANCE & BIAS! Focus your anger on the real problems in this world and instead of using your spare time to sit and spit your ignorance on this blog...get a hobby!!

Larry Altman is a liar. I am a close friend of William and his family and I know that this family is good people. The fact that Mr. Altman has to come up with a figure of 100 pills and a half pound of weed is quite funny. That douche bag must not have anything better to do than make up things to write about. So I wonder, if he lied about that... what else does our local paper lie to us about and if it is not the newspapers, is it law enforcment who is lying? As far as I am concerened I will use the Daily Breeze as toilet paper, with Larry's face on the side up.

Croak family keep your heads up. Do not let a bunch of neighbors playing chatty cathy get you down, We are all better than that. We are family nobody else matters but family.
