WEEKLY MEETING NOTICES
POLICE BULLETIN Teen charged with felony afterschool fight What started as an afterschool fight between “five or six kids� led to a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon against a 17-year-old Village High student, according to Pleasanton police Sgt. Mike Tryphonas. “There were some Village High kids that came onto the Amador campus after school,� Tryphonas said, adding one Amador Valley High student was hit with an object and received minor injuries. Tryphonas would not say what the object was because the investigation is continuing. The teens scattered when police arrived, but one was caught and charged. His name is being withheld because of his age. Tryphonas downplayed the idea that the fight was gang related, describing the fight as a personality conflict. “These are people who don’t like each other, he said. —Glenn Wohltmann
Pleasanton man pleads not guilty to attempted rape charge Pierce Hunter, a 19-year-old UC Davis sophomore
charged last month with attempted rape and forced oral copulation, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to Yolo County Court documents Hunter, who lives in Pleasanton, was arraigned April 27 and has been freed on bond. The charges stem from an incident more than two months ago at a residence on the UC campus. The alleged victim came forward after what UC Police Capt. Joyce Souza described as “escalated aggressive behavior� and “threats.� Souza said in a previous interview that Hunter and the alleged victim, a fellow student, knew each other but were not in a dating relationship. Hunter is a member of the UC Davis swim team. He graduated from San Ramon Valley High School in 2008, and was a member of that swim team as well. A preliminary hearing has been set for May 27. —Glenn Wohltmann
