Pomierski's alleged co-conspirator still missing

UPLAND - A Rancho Cucamonga man accused of helping former Mayor John Pomierski in an extortion scheme is still at large.

Federal authorities issued an arrest warrant on March 22 for Anthony Orlando Sanchez, 35.

Sanchez was charged on Feb. 1 along with Jason Crebs, 38 of Upland, for aiding and abetting Pomierski in demanding bribes from the Chronic Cantina restaurant in Upland.

A warrant was issued after Sanchez failed to appear for his arraignment in federal court in Riverside for a third time.

Crebs pleaded guilty to the charges on April 11 in Federal Court. He will testify against Pomierski in court.

Sanchez and Crebs are named as co-conspirators in the 11-count indictment filed on March 2 against Pomierski and John Hennes, owner of JH Builders in Upland.

Anyone with information on Sanchez' whereabouts are asked to call 888-CANT HIDE.
