Chief retires, No. 2 tapped

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Palo Alto Police Chief Andrew Bind-

er is retiring and will be replaced by Assistant Chief James Reifschneider, the city announced yesterday.

Reifschneider has been acting chief since Oct. 15 while Binder was on medical leave with a back issue.

The Post reported on Feb. 4 that Binder had been on leave for four months. At the time, neither City Manager Ed Shikada nor city spokeswoman Meghan Horrigan-Taylor would respond to questions about why the public was not told about Binder’s absence.

ROBOTICS TRIAL: A trial between former robotics coach Kathleen Krier and the Palo Alto Unified School District has been delayed because the Santa Clara County Superior Court doesn’t have a courtroom available, Judge Shella Deen said. Both sides are on standby to litigate whether the district harassed and discriminated against Krier in fall 2018.

SFO DELAYS: The Federal Aviation Administration has cut a third of arrivals at San Francisco International Airport because of safety concerns and runway construction. The change announced yesterday means the airport will go from 54 arrivals an hour to 36.

WAR OVER SOON? President Trump says the U.S. will be done attacking Iran in two to three weeks. He also said the U.S. “will not have anything to do with” what happens in the Strait of Hormuz, saying the responsibility for keeping the waterway open will rest with countries that rely on it.

TRUMP ORDERS LIST: President Trump has signed an executive order to create a nationwide list of verified

His absence wasn’t publicly acknowledged by council until the Feb. 2 council meeting when Councilman Greer Stone

referred to Reifschneider as acting chief. Binder’s retirement ends a 28-year career, with 18 years in San Jose and 10 years in Palo Alto. “The decision to retire was not an easy one as I am going to miss the everyday interactions with the Palo Alto community,” Binder said in a statement yesterday.

A former ally of ex-San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus has sued the county for rumors Corpus and her former chief of staff Victor Aenlle spread about her, and hit back with her own allegations about the pair.

Menlo Park paid for a man’s new tires after police left a spike strip out on the road, according to a settlement the Post obtained through the California Public Records Act.

The city has paid Christopher Joel Fitzgerald $1,519.54 after he had to get his 2019 Ram truck towed on Oct. 1, at 2:20 a.m., according to the settlement.

Fitzgerald was driving through the Willow Road and University Avenue intersection when all four of his truck’s tires were punctured by a spike strip, according to his claim. Fitzgerald said the spike strip was left

Valerie Barnes was Corpus’ assistant when she was captain in Millbrae, serving as the city’s police chief. When Corpus was running for sheriff, she regularly brought around Aenlle, who was working on her campaign. Rumors about Corpus and Aenlle being in a romantic relationship have persisted since Corpus’ campaign for sheriff in 2022. The two would leave the Millbrae office for hours “purportedly to campaign” and Corpus would return visibly intoxicated or grinding her teeth, a common effect of some drugs, the lawsuit, filed by attorney Zak Franklin in San Mateo County Superior Court

Assessor hopefuls spar over far-right party link

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

San Mateo County Assistant Chief Elections Officer Jim Irizarry said he mistakenly registered with a far-right party, while his opponent claims it was not a mistake.

came aware of the distinction, he changed it to no party preference and the Democratic Party, he said.

Irizarry’s voter registration records show that between September 2002 and December 2012, and between May 2014 and September 2015, he was registered with the American Independent Party.

charge of elections, shouldn’t you understand the system better than that?” Canepa said in a statement.

‘Misinformation campaign’ Irizarry said he has held strong Democratic principles his whole life, and Canepa’s characterization of his mistake is politically motivated.

Supervisor David Canepa, who is running against Irizarry to be the next assessor-clerk-recorder and chief elections officer, said it was not a mistake that Irizarry registered with the American Independent Party for over 10 years.

“These claims are a desperate attempt to distract from a simple reality: my opponent lacks the experience, judgment and qualifications required for this position,” Irizarry said.

Party preference

Irizarry said he mistakenly registered with the party years ago, thinking it was an independent, non-partisan party. Once he be-

During a March 21 debate hosted by the Pacifica Democratic Club, Irizarry said he fixed it immediately, according to Canepa. If it were a mistake, Irizarry would not have registered under no party preference in 2015, Canepa said in a statement.

Irizarry registered with the Democratic Party in July 2023.

Registration confusion

In California, many voters get confused, believing they are registering as independents but actually enrolling in the conservative political party that opposes abortion rights, same sex marriage and immigrant rights, according to Irizarry.

“It’s one thing for an average voter to make this mistake — that’s understandable. But if you’re working in the office and running to be the chief elections officer in

“Claims suggesting otherwise are a deliberate attempt to distract voters from the substantive issues in this race. My opponent’s misinformation campaign is an attempt to divert attention from legitimate concerns about his own record,” Irizarry said.

Canepa’s tenure on the board of supervisors has raised questions among his colleagues regarding his leadership, Irizarry said. Irizarry is supported by Supervisors Noelia Corzo, Ray Mueller and Jackie Speier.

The role of assessor-clerk-recorder and chief elections officer should not be affiliated with any party, Irizarry said.

“Unfortunately, my opponent’s approach reflects a deeply partisan lens that risks compromising the independence and fairness essential to this office,” Irizarry said.

3 take deals, 3 head to trial in fatal jail beating

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Three jail inmates who planned a fatal attack on an alleged rival gang member from Mountain View have signed plea deals to spend up to three years in prison.

Three other inmates who allegedly carried out the attack are headed for a trial on May 11 on murder and torture charges.

The inmates want records from the sheriff about the jail’s security protocols and whether the victim — Oscar Umul Xicay, 23, of Mountain View — was identified as a member of MS-13.

Violent jail attack

Jordan Haase, 39, and Jose Rufino, 19, both of San Jose, allegedly pulled Umul Xicay into the showers at the Elmwood Jail in Milpitas and punched him “aggressively and repeatedly” on Jan. 27, 2025, according to a report by Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Detective David Carroll.

Haase and Rufino allegedly kept punching Umul Xicay in the head by the bunk beds and kicked him into a window, causing the glass to shatter.

Haase and Rufino then kicked and stomped Umul Xicay while he was motionless on the ground, police said.

“At no point in the surveillance footage did victim Oscar fight

back,” Carroll said in his police report.

At the hospital, surgeons removed part of Umul Xicay’s skull because of brain swelling, and he died a week later.

Pedro Arevalos, 42, of San Mateo, allegedly orchestrated the attack on behalf of the Nortenos, a rival gang of MS-13.

Planned legal defense

Rufino’s attorney has offered two possible defense for his client: that Rufino was pressured by Arevalos, and that Rufino intended only to assault Umul Xicay.

“Rufino did not intend to kill Mr. Umul Xicay, but instead acted pursuant to Norteno expectations requiring an assault to continue unless and until correctional staff intervened,” his attorney said. “In that regard staffing levels, deputy presence, response protocols and security policies are directly relevant to whether such an assault would have been expected to be interrupted.”

Attack timeline

The attack started at 11:45 a.m. and ended at 11:56 a.m., and jail guards found Umul Xicay during a routine check at 12:03 p.m.

Umul Xicay was in jail for allegedly vandalizing a keypad at the Mountain View police headquarters 12 hours earlier.

The attack came after 10 men died in Santa Clara County jails in 2024, the most since 2005.

3 admit to involvement

Carroll said three more inmates — Alex Arreola, 34, Ricardo Charles, 20, and Alexavier Victor Rodriguez, 20 — were involved in planning the attack and keeping other inmates away.

All three have admitted to conspiracy and participating in a criminal street gang.

Arreola allegedly stopped other inmates from defending Umul Xicay and mopped blood from the showers afterwards, police said.

Rodriguez allegedly blocked Umul Xicay’s exit path, and Charles allegedly tried to join the fight but was called off by Arevalos, police said.

Charles “continued watching the fight and was laughing throughout it,” Carroll said.

Sentencing dates

Arreola and Charles pleaded guilty on March 25 and face up to three years in prison. Arreola will be sentenced on June 3, and Charles will be sentenced on Sept. 23, court records show.

Rodriguez also admitted to an unrelated robbery charge and will be sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison on May 12, court records show.

Man who scuffled with officers dies

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

A bodybuilder who injured seven police officers during two separate scuffles in Belmont and Menlo Park has died, a prosecutor said yesterday.

Johnathan Koehl, 47, of Belmont, who was facing charges for resisting officers, died on Feb. 1, according to his obituary on Crippen & Flynn Carlmont Chapel’s website.

Altercations hours apart

On Sept. 16, 2023, at around 3 a.m., Belmont police were called after someone reported an argument between Koehl and his girlfriend at a Safeway parking lot at 2100 Ralston Ave., according to District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

When police arrived, Koehl fled and got into his car, driving 50 mph in a 25

mph stretch of Alameda de las Pulgas, Wagstaffe said.

Koehl later stopped and ignored the police’s command to stay inside his car and got into an altercation with them, resulting in two officers and Koehl getting hurt, according to Wagstaffe.

After getting staples in his head, Koehl was found 11 hours later running in and out of traffic and bleeding from his head in downtown Menlo Park, Wagstaffe said. Five police officers were injured trying to arrest him, the DA said.

Koehl would spend hours at the gym and help others new to powerlifting, according to his obituary.

Koehl had a stroke and open-heart surgery two years ago that took away function of his left arm and his ability to walk, his obituary said.

“His mission and purpose was diminished and he is now at peace after a turbulent two-year journey,” his obituary said.

New firm to lead search for leader

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

The Palo Alto school board has picked a firm from Nebraska to help find its new superintendent, rejecting proposals from two companies that have worked with the district before.

“Many stakeholders have been talking about a cultural reset,” board member Shana Segal said. “We’ve heard that from students, we’ve heard that from (unions), and I think from board members as well. So I think there’s something to be said from a firm that isn’t so focused on California.”

Break from past

The board picked McPherson & Jacobson over Leadership Associates and HYA on Monday.

Leadership Associates found Superintendent Kevin Skelly in 2007 and Superintendent Max McGee in 2014. The firm also found Mountain View Superintendent Jeffrey Baier and Sunnyvale Superintendent Gudiel Crosthwaite last year.

HYA found Palo Alto Superintendent Don Austin in 2018.

The board agreed to pay Austin

$596,802 in exchange for his resignation on Feb. 20.

Austin was replaced by his second-in-command Trent Bahadursingh, who received $346,673 to resign on March 17.

“Maybe at this juncture we need to break from true and tested formulas,” board member Rowena Chiu said on Monday.

Palo Alto High School student representative Dylan Chen said McPherson & Jacobson had the most “authentic and appealing” presentation.

Search process

The search team will have four consultants from the East Bay. Nicole Anderson will lead the search, and former superintendents Daniel Moirao, Lisette Estrella-Henderson and Sonjhia Lowery will help.

The firm will try to find a superintendent to start on July 1, according to their presentation.

The board will consider approving a $28,350 contract with McPherson & Jacobson on April 21.

HR Director Herb Espiritu is the acting superintendent.

More women opt to have kids later

Dr. Jacquelyn Means knew that being pregnant in her late 30s would be challenging.

“It is definitely harder on your body. You just feel a lot more fatigued. There are certain complications to watch out for,” said Means, a Texas OB-GYN who had her first child at 37 and her second at 39. “It’s usually going to be fine, but there are things to be aware of.”

Like Means, more and more women are having babies later in life. A federal report showed that 21% of all births in the U.S. were to women 35 and older in 2023, up from 9% in 1990. And this “advanced maternal age” raises risks for both moms and babies.

Don’t worry too much

Older pregnant women are more likely to have conditions like high blood pressure and obesity, for example, and are more prone to developing pregnancy complications. They’re more likely to undergo cesarean sections and give birth to twins or babies with some genetic abnormalities.

But don’t be too worried. Risks are generally low; they’re just higher than average. And while most older moms have normal pregnancies, doctors say there are ways to lower risk and pre-

vent problems before, during and after pregnancy.

“Moms over 35 can still have a healthy pregnancy and a happy baby,” said Dr. Michael Warren, chief medical and health officer for the March of Dimes, a nonprofit that works to improve the health of mothers and babies.

Overall health key

Dr. Ashley Zink, a maternal-fetal specialist at the University of Texas Southwestern, said optimizing your health is like “building your baby’s first home.”

That involves following the time-honored advice of eating a well-balanced diet, staying active and avoiding risky behaviors like smoking.

“Make sure those good health habits that you’ve established over the course of your life are still in place,” Warren added. “If you have chronic diseases, make sure those are well-managed. Make sure you’re getting regular preventive medical care.”

Being as healthy as possible is important, Zink said, because pregnancy can be as rigorous as a marathon.

A checkup before trying to conceive can be helpful, allowing you to discuss health concerns and get treated for anything that might affect your pregnancy.

Firms seek looser supplement rules

Makers of dietary supplements are pushing the Food and Drug Administration to expand the types of ingredients they can put in their products, a change that could open the door to more marketing of peptides, probiotics and other trendy wellness offerings.

The FDA held a public meeting last week to discuss its longstanding criteria for dietary supplements and whether they could be broadened to include substances that don’t come from food, vitamins, herbs or other traditional ingredients.

MAHA influence

It’s the first such meeting since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became the nation’s top health official last year. Kennedy has vowed to “end the war at FDA” on dietary supplements, peptides and other products that are popular within his Make America Healthy Again movement.

The meeting came at the request of the Natural Products Association, an industry group that has clashed with the FDA over certain new supplement ingredients. The group asked for the meeting in a January letter, citing “the cost and uncertainty that arise when regulatory expectations are unclear.”

The FDA’s top food official, Kyle Diamantas, opened the meeting by underscoring the administration’s commitment to “cutting red tape” to lower the industry’s costs.

“The industry has grown tremendously over the last 30 years yet the regulatory framework has largely stayed the same,” Diamantas told attendees.

Supplement criteria

Under FDA regulations, supplements are deemed to be a category of food, with most of their ingredients coming from plants, herbs and other substances found in the American diet.

That requirement has become a challenge for the industry in recent years as newer wellness products often feature substances that have never been used in food.

Peptides, for instance, are druglike chains of amino acids that have been widely promoted by celebrities and influencers as a way to build muscle and look younger, although there’s little science supporting their use.

Consumer advocates warn that allowing new ingredients would vastly expand the market for supplements, which the FDA has long struggled to oversee.

TIRES ––––––––– RUMORS ––––––

unattended when he drove through it, according to the claim he submitted to the city on Oct. 7.

That day, Menlo Park police had chased a stolen truck in East Palo Alto, police spokeswoman Nicole Acker said previously. Lisabet Acosta Carbajal, 29, from Phoenix, Ariz., stole her ex-boyfriend’s truck, and led police on a nearly 5 mile chase to North Fair Oaks, Acker said.

The chase

Carbajal had visited her ex-boyfriend on Oct. 1 and asked to go out on a drive with him, but he declined, noting she smelled like alcohol, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. Carbajal asked to borrow his car, but he said no. Carbajal grabbed the keys to his white Ford Mustang and drove away, the DA said. The ex-boyfriend called the police immediately, and Menlo Park Police found her at University Avenue and Bayfront Road, but Carbajal refused to stop, Wagstaffe said.

Carbajal went 90 mph with no headlights and ran three red lights and six stop signs until she lost control, Wagstaffe said. The chase ended in a crash with seven other cars in North Fair Oaks, Wagstaffe said. Carbajal was injured and taken to Stanford Hospital. Carbajal was sentenced on Jan. 23 to nine months in jail and two years of probation for DUI, Wagstaffe said.

Fitzgerald witnessed the chase, said he had to get his car towed, according to his claim. There was no warning about the strip and no officers were in the area to help him after all four of his tires became flat, he wrote.

last week alleges. Corpus allegedly would regularly instruct Barnes to clean up her office, which included cleaning up crushed white pills with blue speckles, the suit said.

Barnes was also told to hide a Sephora bag full of condoms when Corpus had visitors to her office.

Barnes says in her lawsuit, filed last week in San Mateo County Superior Court, that she was ordered to research wedding venues in Maui for Aenlle and Corpus, despite that both were married. Corpus has since divorced her husband, former Lt. John Kovach.

Barnes also mentions other aspects about Aenlle and Corpus’ alleged relationship, that the two often played footsie, fed each other and asked employees to rearrange seating so they could face each other. Barnes reiterates claims that Aenlle bought Corpus Louboutin boots and Tiffany earrings. Corpus has previously said she bought herself the earrings.

Thought it was unethical

Once Corpus was elected, she told Barnes she planned to hire Aenlle. Barnes allegedly told Corpus that hiring Aenlle, a civilian and Corpus’ romantic partner, would be unethical and an illegal misappropriation of public funds, the lawsuit states.

After that conversation, Barnes began to feel the repercussions of speaking out against Corpus’ hiring of Aenlle.

Barnes says a promotion was reneged on, she thought she was applying to become a “management analyst” which would have aligned more closely with what she had been doing for the Millbrae office, the lawsuit states. She had also been told by Corpus’ suc-

cessor in Millbrae, Capt. Eamonn Allen, that she’d start on the highest pay tier once her promotion went through. But, she alleges that due to meddling by Corpus and Aenlle, she was ultimately promoted to “associate management analyst” a lower-paying position, which eliminated her ability for overtime and effectively resulted in a $12,000 pay cut, according to the suit.

Other issues

According to the lawsuit, other examples of retaliation included:

• Barnes hearing from others that Corpus and Aenlle spread a rumor that Barnes would sleep with men who donated to Corpus’ campaign,

• Rumors that Barnes stole money from the Millbrae evidence room, a room she claims she never had access to,

• Leaking to a TV reporter that Barnes was one of the witnesses involved in retired Judge LaDoris Cordell’s HR investigation into Aenlle and Corpus,

• Barnes being accused of mishandling Corpus’ belongings during the move from Corpus’ Millbrae office to Redwood City, despite the fact that Barnes was on medical leave during the move,

• Corpus refusing to speak to Barnes directly, and leaving her out of meetings and events,

• Corpus and Aenlle allegedly telling sheriff’s office employees that Barnes is “rude,” “evil,” “can’t be trusted,” “mean” and “vile” and

• Barnes was accused of running an Instagram account that mocked Corpus.

Corpus & Aenlle respond

Corpus’s attorney Wilson Leung said the allegations are “bizarre” and “utterly frivolous.”

Leung said that Barnes’s allegations are not true, as they conflict with Millbrae City Manager Tom Williams’ testimony during the removal hearing. Williams said Barnes had a motive to lie because she was upset about not receiving a promotion. Barnes would make “aggressive remarks” against Corpus, Williams previously said.

“I’m going after that f****** b****. She’s not gonna know what hit her,” Barnes said, according to Williams.

Aenlle also denied the allegations, saying they were false and unsupported.

“A complaint is not evidence. I welcome the opportunity to challenge these allegations in court, where Ms. Barnes bears the burden to prove each and every claim with competent evidence. These claims will be tested against the documentary record, timelines and witness testimony under oath, where unsupported allegations do not carry the day,” Aenlle said in an email to the Post.

A civil grand jury empaneled to investigate allegations of relation and nepotism by Corpus rejected a count against Corpus regarding Barnes’ allegations about being denied overtime after raising concerns about Aenlle’s hiring.

was elected as Santa Clara County sheriff. Binder then unencrypted the department’s radios so the public could listen in to police activities, reversing Jonsen’s decision to encrypt them.

“This is a sign of (Binder) bringing that new perspective into the department and not being as traditional and careful as chiefs we’ve seen before,” Stone said at the time.

Shikada and Mayor Vicki Veenker praised Binder in the city’s announcement yesterday for building trust with the community while the expectations on policing were changing.

Changes at police union

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Sgt. Ken Kratt, former president of the Palo Alto Police Officers’ Association, has retired and handed over his union leadership position to Agent Christopher Corriea, according to a department-wide memo.

Kratt retired in December after working as a police officer for more than 25 years, Acting Chief James Reifschneider said in the memo, which the Post obtained on Monday through a California Public Records Act request.

The department won’t immediately fill Kratt’s position as traffic sergeant due to budget uncertainty.

“This position is undeniably valuable and, as circumstances allow, I look forward to filling it,” Reifschneider said in his memo.

As union president, Kratt advocated for better pay and fewer vacancies.

The union largely stayed out of political issues, including a lawsuit filed by six officers in July 2021

da said. Council will consider approving Reifschneider’s appointment on April 6 with a $363,584 salary.

Next chief’s plans

He would oversee 141 employees, including 86 sworn officers, and a $58 million budget.

“Key areas of focus will be fighting crime with the utmost professionalism and integrity, intensifying sworn officer recruitment efforts, engaging our community, effectively sharing public information and completing the move-in to our state-of-the-art public safety building,” Reifschneider said in a statement.

Reifschneider, 46, joined the department in 2005 after working as a lawyer in Menlo Park.

He spent eight years as the department’s tactical

over a Black Lives Matter mural in front of Palo Alto City Hall.

The union made a rare endorsement in November 2024 for prosecutor Johnene Stebbins to become a judge over Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen’s second-in-command Jay Boyarsky. Stebbins was elected.

The union supports fundraisers for the Special Olympics, youth sports teams and the nonprofit Project WeHOPE, which helps the homeless.

Corriea began his career as a Palo Alto police officer in 2008 and has worked as a a field training officer, detective and range instructor, according to the union website.

Last year the union also picked Sgt. Joshua Waldorph as vice president and Sgt. Eric Bulatao as treasurer.

Waldorph started with the city in 2011, and Bulatao has been there since 2006.

The other board members are Agent Yolanda Franco-Clausen and Sgt. Alex Afanasiev.

commander, overseeing the SWAT team and crisis negotiation team.

Reifschneider regularly interacts with council, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, other police agencies and the city’s independent police auditor.

Reifschneider was promoted from captain to assistant chief in March 2025, so he’s seen his salary go up $88,545 in the last year.

“Throughout his career, James has been entrusted with many of the department’s most complex and high-liability assignments,” Binder told council when Reifschneider was promoted.

Below Reifschneider on the organizational chart are Capt. April Wagner and Capt. Zach Perron.
