The man accused of bludgeoning two sheep to death was arraigned in a Salinas courtroom Monday.

Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni said that Jose Jesse Marquez, 31, was arraigned on four counts of felony animal abuse with an allegation that the crime involved a deadly or dangerous weapon, felony resisting a police officer and felony burglary.

Pacioni also stated that Marquez was charged with an enhancement for a prior strike conviction and “numerous factors in aggravation.”

The judge, in this case, said Marquez would not be given bail.

The district attorney’s office said he arrived at the Gonzales High School grounds to take a tool on Feb. 18 at around 2:29 a.m. Marquez became upset with his mother, approached the barn area, and stabbed multiple animals belonging to the students.

Two lambs died, and one lamb and a pig survived the attack, said Pacioni. Then when law enforcement approached the suspect he refused to comply with police and “threatened to commit violence towards the officer booking him.”

If convicted, Marquez could face 19 years and eight months in prison, given a past 2018 domestic violence strike conviction.

According to police reports Scott Anderson has set off seven bombs during the last year that included everything from a mailbox to a California Probation Services vehicle. Authorities believe that Scott Anderson is tied to a white supremacy group however they did not elaborate.

A man is facing federal and state charges in connection to a series of bombing incidents across Fresno.

On Tuesday, police said that 44-year-old Scott Anderson was arrested for seven incidents that started on December 13.

Authorities say that one of the incidents happened at the Fresno County probation office, where a bomb went off inside one of the patrol units. Six of the incidents involved cars, and the seventh involved a mailbox

During their investigation, police say they discovered there could be ties between Anderson and a White supremacist group.

Fresno Police Paco Balderrama said there was no reason to believe that the bombings were going to stop, leading to quick action.

Authorities are still investigating the motivation behind the crimes.

“On January the 8th of 2023 detectives from the northwest policing district responded to 3560 west San Jose avenue for a pipe bomb detonation under a vehicle,” said Balderrama. “Detectives learned that there was an additional pipe bomb detonated inside the same vehicle on January the 6th”

Balderrama says they were able to narrow in on Anderson following that bombing and gathered more evidence on another incident that occurred on December 13th.

There would be four more bombings, three involving vehicles

That includes the final bombing of a probation officer’s vehicle on February 21

“It became apparent very quickly that the suspect or suspects in this case were professing in skill level of making bombs and also their frequency,” said Balderrama.

Balderrama says three separate locations related to Anderson were identified and search warrants were written, but he says Anderson left Fresno on February 23.

The next day, Anderson was arrested by deputies in Riverside, along with his partner.

Due to the nature of the arrest, nearby residents had to be evacuated as a precaution.

After Anderson’s arrest, a series of search warrants led to four more arrests for a number of drug and firearms violations.

“The people of the state of California will be filing, have filed a criminal complaint alleging 4 different defendants for the actions we have been speaking about that occurred in January and February of 2023,” said Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp.

One of those four, identified as Frank Rocha, was also charged with possession of bomb-making materials.

He is still awaiting extradition to Fresno and was arrested alongside Anderson in Riverside County.

Anderson has since been booked in the Fresno County Jail on a no-bail status.

He also faces federal charges in three of the bombings.

“As alleged in the federal complaint, the three pipe bombings that are charged all damaged vehicles that are involved in interstate commerce,” said US Attorney Phil Talbert.

Deshawn Thomas More News

Police have arrested 23-year-old Deshawn Thomas in connection to a shooting downtown on Monday. A shocking video, allegedly of the shooting, was posted to Twitter Monday night before being removed.

The video seems to show a shooting that occurred in broad daylight at the 700 block of North Tucker Boulevard.

The police said that they received a call for a shooting shortly after 10:10 a.m. on Monday relative to a man in his 40s who was shot in the head. Police said the victim argued with the alleged shooter at a nearby Shell station before the shooting. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Video of the shooting was posted by an account called “Ponzi Slayer,” @ponziSTL, who professes to be a U.S. Marine and a gun enthusiast who gives a thumbs down to “Biden/democrats.”

His video was then shared by KMOX reporter Kevin Killeen, and subsequently reshared by former KMOV reporter Chris Nagus, before it was taken down by Twitter

Ponzi Slayer then reposted the video on Twitter, as well as sharing a link to a version that was still live on Facebook as of press time.

“Twitter took down this video I posted yesterday so I’ll post it again,” he wrote. “Doesn’t show the murder on camera so stop censoring it. Btw 10 am today #kimgardner supporters are gathering downtown. Meanwhile a young girl lays with her legs amputated and crushed pelvis 1 mile away in the hospital from a thug Kim and her cronies let back on the street when he should been in jail. Show Kims pals this ???? from yesterday.”

Ponzi Slayer wrote on Twitter that the people recording the video heard a gunshot and, after calling police, began filming what was happening on the sidewalk. The video shows two men, one seated on the curb and the other standing near him, while the person filming talks about having heard a gun shot. The standing man is struggling to reload his weapon. The seated man either doesn’t notice or seems unconcerned.

After about 30 seconds, the man with the gun abruptly holds his arm out, puts the gun to the seated man’s head and fires.

“Oh my god. He just fucking killed him,” says the individual filming the incident.

The terrifying video matches the details in an SLMPD incident report, and Crab’s Landing, which is visible in the video, is at 701 North Tucker Boulevard. According to the incident report, after the shooting, the suspect fled on foot and was observed entering the library on Olive Street, where the suspect was taken into custody without incident.

The next day, Thomas stashed the children’s bodies in a trash can behind the house and went to her place of employment to get her paycheck early.

The DA also said Thomas was unable to leave town, so she dug a hole in the ground for the bodies, which was not big enough. So instead, she rolled the bodies of her children under a neighbor’s house.

Thomas began packing up the house and throwing things out when she told a friend that she drowned her children and needed to leave town.

According to Ogg, the friend said he thought Thomas was joking, but when he realized she was not joking, he asked more questions, and she showed him where the bodies could be found.
