Pepe: Mayor threatened me, other leaders

Carmel Pine Cone 35,000 readers reached weekly and 14,000 digitally delivered out of area By MARY SCHLEY

AYOR STEVE Dallas, who is under investigation for “the use of offensive language, the reciting of an off-color joke, and a landlord/tenant dispute,” according to city attorney Glen Mozingo, was also accused this week of bullying and making threatening phone calls. Restaurateur Rich Pepe told The Pine Cone Thursday that twice during the past two weeks, Dallas phoned him “in a rant.” When a group of business leaders talked about the investigation during their monthly meeting two weeks ago, Pepe said he shared what he has heard from people who are critical of the mayor or who have unfavorable stories about him either “creeping around” or “bullying” them.

Chowchilla kidnapper hit with countersuit n MoCo man says he was injured working in mine owned by Woods By KELLY NIX

“And that if you are acting that way, you need to go, especially if you’re an executive or an elected official,” said Pepe, who owns two restaurants and a bakery downtown. “I can’t go 5 feet without someone asking me about it.” Pepe said he wasn’t stating his opinion, but was simply summarizing for the group what others have said to him. The next day, “Dallas called me in a rant, saying, ‘If you’ve got something to say, you say it to my face. You’re badmouthing me around town, and if you don’t stop, you’ll never get anything done in this town again,’” Pepe recounted. “I told him to calm down.” The conversation went on a bit more before coming to an end, and the next day, Pepe reached out to Irma Rodriguez Moisa, the attorney Mozingo hired to investigate the claims against Dallas made by Monterey County Vintners & Growers Association executive director Kim Stemler and others, who so far have gone unnamed.

26-YEAR-OLD Dreamer from Salinas arrested in Arizona last week has been charged with a felony count of smuggling four Mexican nationals across the United States border for profit, according to a federal complaint detailing the circumstances of his arrest. On Jan. 29, United States Border Patrol agents patrolling the southern border near Yuma, arrested six people, including Saul Rodea-Castro, a Salinas man who federal prosecutors say was the driver of a Ford F-150 pickup truck that was used to smuggle four Mexicans — all of whom paid big bucks to reach the United States. Rodea-Castro “did aid and abet bringing into the United States said aliens for private financial gain,” according to a Jan. 31 criminal complaint filed in 2pm–6pm United States District OPEN HOUSE | Sat & Sun 2pm–4pm Court, District of Arizona that was signed by Border Patrol agent Travis Joseph and 216 United StatesWay, Magistrate Judge Mirasol Monterey James F. Metcalf. 3 beds, 3.5 baths • $2,649,000 • www.216Mirasol.com Three of the Mexican citizens told authorities they each paid $8,000 to be taken across the border, while the fourth paid $4,000. ‘Not willing to answer questions’ Prosecutors say that after being arrested and read his Miranda rights, Rodea-Castro was uncooperative. He “was not willing to answer questions without a lawyer present,” according to the complaint, which indicates that three of the immigrants identified Rodea-Castro as the getaway driver. During their investigation, Border Patrol agents also learned that Rodea-Castro was a recipient of the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals, an Obama Administration program that has enabled immigrant children who were brought to the United States illegally by their parents to stay here without fear of being deported. “At that time, the driver was arrested for bringing illegal

Council gives Fink 60 days to get trash area out of Piccadilly Park

HE SOUTH Monterey County man who is a defendant in a $1.5 million lawsuit filed by one of the Chowchilla kidnappers has filed a countersuit alleging he was injured while working in a mine owned by the convict. Frederick Newhall Woods, 66, who is serving a life sentence in a San Luis Obispo prison for his part in abducting 26 schoolkids and their bus driver in the town of Chowchilla 42 years ago, filed suit in November 2017 in Monterey County against real estate broker Michael Bianchi and his wife, Janelle, for allegedly ruining a Christmas tree farm that Woods hired Michael Bianchi to oversee. On Dec. 21, 2017, however, Woods’ Los Angeles attorney, Dominique Banos, amended the lawsuit to list Irene Sugano, a trustee of the Fred Woods Trust, as the plaintiff in the

ANTINETTA LUCA owner David Fink may end up battling the city in court over the council’s decision Tuesday night that a garbage enclosure in Piccadilly Park next to the restaurant has to be removed. Although the planning department and several other city officials signed off on the 111-square-foot enclosure in 2006, senior planner Marnie Waffle said this week that Fink never obtained permission from the council to have the structure on public property. She recommended council members deny it and order Fink to remove the trash area, which they did on a 3-1 vote.
