A 16-year-old San Marcos student accused of assaulting a high schooler this spring and a 13-year-old student from a school in the area last year was taken into custody yesterday morning, sheriff’s deputies reported.

Deputies in the sexual assault department took the boy into custody around 10:30 a.m. and reported that he was sent to stay at the Juvenile Hall under sexual assault charges, including rape by intoxication.

Authorities started to look into the case when a 14-year-old girl called officials on Sept. 6 and reported that she had been a victim of rape by another student at San Marcos High School. 

The girl reported to authorities that on May 12, two boys brought her to the back of a business complex by the school and raped her, deputies stated. 

Investigators in the sexual assault unit later found out that one of the two boys thought to have attacked the girl was also a suspect in a sexual assault case involving a 13-year-old student at another school in January 2008.

During the time of the student’s assault last year, the student did not want to draw further attention to the case, deputies reported. 

Deputies added that they are still looking into the case. They will send the case to the  District Attorney’s Office to look over the terms and charges.

The District Attorney’s Office has come to an agreement to not file charges in a case involving the fatal stabbing of a teen last weekend in National City. 

Prosecutors stated that looking over the case this week revealed that Danny Aparicio, 25, was attempting to protect his mother and her boyfriend in the midst of a gang attack, and in his attempt he was stabbed by one of the attackers, Esteban Pabloff, 17.

“Based on the facts, it was apparent that he has a very viable ‘defense of others’ claim,” Deputy District Attorney Gregg McClain stated yesterday.

Investigators have determined that the couple was walking with their dog down Highland Avenue around 2 a.m. Saturday when a group of males approached the boyfriend and began shouting gang phrases. The group then started to attack him and beat him, reported National City police Lt. Craig Boegler.

Aparicio, who was hanging out in an apartment close to the area, was able to hear the couple shout for help and rushed over to assist them. 

Pabloff was stabbed in the neck; the others took off running.  Pabloff passed away at UCSD Medical Center.

Following the attack, detectives took Aparicio into custody under suspicion of murder; he has been let go from jail as of recent reports. 

The attack involving the couple is being looked into further, Boegler stated.

All people within a Carmel Valley medical office had to leave the building yesterday after seven people became severely sick, authorities reported. 

Around 11:15 a.m., emergency crews led people out of the Sharp Carmel Valley office located on Carmel Country Road close to Townsgate Drive. A doctor and six nurses were transported to the hospital to receive medical aide, reported San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque. The doctor and nurses were suffering from headaches and dizziness to nausea, Luque added.

A San Diego fire hazardous-materials team and county environmental health inspectors were unable to figure out what caused their sickness, and the office was once again opened around 2 p.m. An estimated 30 other people were in the office at the time when the people became sick but they remained in good health.

Two men were taken into custody on Wednesday night after they were thought to be connected to a robbery and burglary at a home break-in, Carlsbad police reported. 

Police were called around 8:18 p.m. to a home on San Benito Street near San Lucas Street by a victim who said that two men came into his home armed with handguns and robbed he and his wife.

The thieves took off in a four-door Mitsubishi after they stole from the house, the man reported police.

A few minutes later, police saw a car spotted a vehicle that resembled the one described traveling east on state Route 78 and pulled it over at West San Marcos Boulevard and Grand Avenue in San Marcos, police reported.

A 28-year-old man jumped out of the passenger seat of the car and took off running but was apprehended not too long after, police stated. The driver, 27-years-old, was taken into custody while in his car. Stolen property and guns were were found around the location and were returned, police stated.

The last of three people accused of blowing up a pipe bomb out front of a federal courthouse in May 2008 entered a guilty plea on Tuesday and is to serve 30 years in jail. 

Rachel Lynn Carlock entered a guilty plea to one count of possession and use of a destructive device in order to carry out a violent crime. According to the nature of her charge, she is to be sentenced to serve at least 30 years in jail. She is to receive her sentencing on March 9.

She said that she was guilty for buying 2 pounds of explosives in April 2008 and then creating a couple bombs, as stated in the plea agreement. 

Carlock also said she had put three pipe bombs in front of the courthouse located on Front Street early in the morning on May 4.

No one was hurt when the bombs blew up, which projected nails and shrapnel for a couple blocks. The reasoning behind the bombings are not yet known. 

Two others, Ella Louise Sanders and Eric Robinson, had admitted to the crime earlier than Carlock and were also waiting to receive their punishment.  

Carlock’s case was set back for a couple moths when she was sent to be a patient at a federal psychiatric facility after it was clear that she was not able to go through trial.  After being a patient there, she returned to San Diego and her case was picked back up again.

“I was in a desperate situation at the time,” Carlock said to District Judge Margaret McKeown. “Really unhappy. It wasn’t my own will to do it. I was forced to do it. I apologize for doing it.”

A 34-year-old man was a victim of a robbery by a man armed with a knife after he replied to a Craigslist ad for adult services, and police took a man and a teenage girl into custody who met up with him at the motel on Monday night. 

The man entered the Heritage Inn located on Fletcher Parkway near Baltimore Drive just a little following 10:35 p.m., police reported.

He met up with a 17-year-old girl at the motel and began to do sexual activities for a short period of time. He handed her $100 for additional services when a man wearing a ski mask over his face and wielding a knife exited the bathroom, police stated. 

The man fled out of the room and left his money there and dialed police. 

Police caught a 19-year-old man and the girl trying to drive away from the motel parking lot and arrested both of them under suspicion of robbery. The man was held at the County Jail with a bail set at $100,000. The girl was let go to a parent. 

The robbery victim is not being charged in the incident, reported police Lt. Matt Nicholass.

A 24-year-old man was arrested and put in jail Monday after he was charged for stabbing a 17-year-old boy to death in National City over the weekend.

Danny Aparicio was taken into custody after he was thought to be the murderer of Esteban Pabloff Jr. on   Saturday morning, reported National City police Lt. Craig Boegler and the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The teen was stabbed in the neck in the middle of a street fight right by 21st Street and Highland Avenue at about 2 a.m. Saturday. He was declared dead about an hour following the incident at UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest.

Investigators later took Aparicio into custody and sent him to be held at the San Diego Central Jail. Aparicio is scheduled to will appear before court Wednesday afternoon, as stated in jail records.

Boegler informed that gang members were a key factor in starting the fight, but it was not certain whether  Aparicio or Pabloff were part of any gangs.

A wildfire that consumed over 12 buildings and caused fire officials to have to evacuate around 30 homes was finally under firefighters control, fire officials reported. 

The fire burned 340 acres, Riverside County fire Capt. Fernando Herrera stated.

The wildfire started around 4 p.m. Saturday in the Cleveland National Forest east of Temecula. Fire officials were able to halt the fire by night time Saturday and took the whole day yesterday putting out the spots that were quickly spreading, Herrera reported. 

All residents that evacuated were able to go back to their homes by 6 p.m., fire officials reported. State Route 79, which was closed off for a little, was opened once again. 

According to fire officials, the fire was caused by a vehicle driving through the area. 

Two people were severely hurt in a helicopter crash when the vessel went down in an isolated area of  North County yesterday afternoon.

The crash was reported around 2:30 p.m. and the scene of the crash was found about 10 minutes later in Guejito Ranch in the southeast corner of Valley Center, sheriff’s Lt. Gary Steadman stated.

Cal Fire Battalion Chief Nick Schuler reported that the crash wreckage was in a hard location to reach. Two Sheriff’s Department helicopters circled above and found where the helicopters had crashed, and one helicopter grounded in order to allow crews to help the victims. Crews came to conclude that the victims in the incident were severely injured and airlifted them away from the crash in the other helicopter. 

The victims loaded onto two other helicopters a little later and were taken to local hospitals.  The victims identities and the extent of their injuries were not explained. The source of the accident is still being examined.
