ARCADIA POLICE BLOTTER

FREE HANDS-ONLY CPR 
TRAINING THURSDAY, JUNE 4

Methodist Hospital teams with Arcadia 

Fire Department and Westfield Santa Anita Mall 

in potentially lifesaving event

ARCADIA – Methodist Hospital, in coordination with the Arcadia 
Fire Department, will provide free Hands-OnlyTM CPR (chest 
compressions but no mouth-to-mouth breathing) training 10 a.m. 
to 1 p.m., Thursday, June 4, near the food court at the Westfield 
Santa Anita Mall. 

 “It only takes a few minutes per person,” said Ilene Frost, RN, 
Methodist Hospital educator. “We want to encourage people to 
come out to the mall and take a few minutes to learn this potentially 
lifesaving skill.”

 As part of a countywide event, Methodist Hospital staff and 
Arcadia Fire Department paramedics will demonstrate the basics 
and proper techniques of the American Heart Association’s Hands-
OnlyTM CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation), and participants 
can practice on mannequins.

 Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency 
and the American Heart Association (AHA) have collaborated to 
promote this Sidewalk CPR event in communities throughout the 
county in observance of National CPR Week. 

 “We want to teach as many as we can how to use this method,” 
Frost said. “Anyone can save a life simply by being aware of the CPR 
basics.”

 When performed by a bystander, this method could be even more 
effective than CPR because more people are likely to perform the 
hands-only method. There are only two steps to remember:

 1. Call 911

 2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest (to the rhythm of 
the tune “Stayin’ Alive”)

 Cardiac arrest is more common than you think and can happen 
to anyone at any time. Many victims appear healthy with no known 
heart disease. Nearly 300,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur annually, 
and less than 10 percent of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside 
the hospital survive. 

 Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack. It is an 
electrical disorder of the heart that causes it to stop beating. Without 
blood flow, the brain stops working and the victim collapses and is 
unconscious. The earlier CPR is started the better.

 CPR is a temporary measure until Emergency Medical Services 
(EMS) personnel arrive and use a defibrillator or other advanced 
treatments to restart the heart. The interval between the 911 call 
and EMS arrival is usually longer than five minutes. So, a victim’s 
survival is likely to depend on someone trained in “bystander” CPR. 
For every minute without bystander CPR, survival from cardiac 
arrest decreases by as much as 10 percent. Yet, effective bystander 
CPR given immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can possibly 
triple a victim’s chance of survival.

 And because 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur close to home, 
the life you save with CPR is mostly likely to be someone you know 
or love. Some may be concerned they might do something wrong, 
but the only way to make things worse is to do nothing. Don’t be a 
helpless bystander. If you have two hands, you have what it takes to 
help save a life with Hands-Only CPR.

 Anyone can learn CPR – and everyone should. If you see an 
unresponsive adult who is not breathing or not breathing normally, 
call 911 and push hard and fast on the center of the chest until EMS 
arrives. 

 Be sure to visit our Heart Check blood pressure center near the 
playground outside JC Penney. More information about “Hands-
Only CPR can be found at www.handsonlycpr.org.

 Around 9:31 p.m., an officer responded to the 100 block of East 
Huntington Drive regarding a subject asleep in the roadway. The

transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

Friday, March 20: 

Just after 3:38 a.m., an officer responded to the 300 block of Genoa 
Street regarding two suspicious subjects walking around location. 
An investigation revealed one of the subjects, a 38-year-old Hispanic 
female, hid a bag containing methamphetamine and stolen access 
cards in the bushes prior to the officer approaching them. She was 
arrested and transported to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. The 
second subject, a 38-year-old Hispanic male, was interviewed and 
released without incident.

 At about 11:54 p.m., an officer performed a records check on a 
vehicle parked in the area of 11000 block of Clark Street, discovered 
the vehicle displayed false registration tags, and the registered 
owner had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant. The officer made

to having a suspended license. He was arrested and transported to 
the Arcadia City Jail for booking.

Saturday, March 21:

Just after 4:02 a.m., officers responded to the area of South Santa 
Anita Avenue and Huntington Drive regarding a traffic collision 
between a moving vehicle and two parked vehicles. The officer 
contacted the driver as he was walking away from his vehicle, 
detected a slight odor of alcohol, and noticed the 23-year-old white 
male had blood shot eyes. The subject admitted to consuming 
an alcoholic beverage, prescription drug Xanax, and smoking 
marijuana prior to the collision. He was arrested and transported 
to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. He declined medical attention.

 At approximately 11:19 p.m., an officer located two vehicles 
racing in the area of Clark Street and Peck Road. After witnessing 
one of the vehicles make an illegal right turn, the officer initiated a 
traffic stop. The officer concluded the 25-year-old Asian male was 
participating in an illegal speed contest and subsequently arrested 
and transported him to the Arcadia City Jail for booking. The 
vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

On Wednesday May 13, 2015 at 04:00 AM a resident on Grove Lane heard noises in the front of his residence. The resident looked out the 
window and observed a suspect breaking into his vehicle. The resident went outside and confronted the suspect, who was now inside his 
vehicle, and a brief struggle ensued. The suspect had a large silver object in his hand which the resident felt was a gun. Fearing for his safety 
the resident backed away from the suspect allowing the suspect flee southbound to a dark colored SUV. As the SUV pulled up another 
suspect ran out of the residence south of the original victims and fled to the vehicle. 
Within minutes of the original call officers spotted the dark colored SUV traveling at a high rate of speed southbound on Baldwin from Sierra 
Madre Blvd. A high risk traffic stop was conducted and three suspects were detained without incident. Stolen property and narcotics were located 
inside the vehicle. 
Police Chief Larry Giannone said “we discourage residents 
from confronting suspects for their safety but are glad the victim 
is okay. The quick response from the officers was instrumental 
in apprehending these suspects and recovering the victim’s 
property”. Police located additional property in the vehicle and 
will be attempting to identify other victims. 
The three suspects are gang members and have lengthy arrest 
records. All three suspects reside in El Monte and were booked 
at the Pasadena City Jail. Bail for each is set at $50,000.
SUSPECTS ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPT ROBBERY AND 
POSSESSION OF STOLEN PROPERTYJesus Rojas (20) Geovany Martinez (19) Aaron Vazquez (33)
There are many reasons why city of Sierra 
Madre is considered a great place to live. 
Certainly, its’ village character is one 
reason. Our independence is another. We 
have excellent schools and our own police 
and fire departments. We have our own 
library. We have our own grocery store, 
hardware store, auto repair shops, coffee 
shops, florists, restaurants and much more. 
However, if a survey were taken today, you 
would probably find that most residents 
consider safety their number one priority. 
And, according to a recent survey released 
by safewise.com, Sierra Madre ranks No. 24 
in the top 50 cities in the State of California 
and, based upon the survey’s findings, it is 
the safest city in the San Gabriel Valley! 
There are 482 cities in California that 
38 million residents call home. Safewise 
examined those cities with populations 
over 10,000 and evaluated recent FBI Crime 
Report data. and compiled a list of the 50 
safest cities based upon the incidents of 
crime compared to the national average. 
“From there, we determined the number 
of Violent Crimes, which are considered 
murder, aggravated assault, robbery and 
forcible rape, as well as Property Crimes, 
consisting of burglary, motor vehicle theft, 
arson, and larceny-theft that were reported 
in each city. Then, to create a level playing 
field and make it easy to compare crime 
rates among several cities, we calculated the 
chance of these crimes happening out of 
1,000 people. 
“The average violent crime rate among 
our safest cities was 1.12 per 1,000 people, 
and the average property crime rate was 
11.32 per 1,000 people. That means the 
average safe city listed below experienced 
70 percent less violent crime and 60 percent 
less property crime than the typical U.S. 
city. We were particularly impressed to 
discover that 42 of California’s 50 safest 
cities (84 percent) reported no murders. 
And the safest city on our list, Hillsborough, 
reported no incidents of violent crime 
whatsoever.”
Sierra Madre has had no murders 
and ranks well below the national 
average when in comes to crime. 
In the report, this is attribute 
to the use of technology by the 
SMPD. 
Other San Gabriel Valley Cities 
that make the top 50 list are: 
Temple City - No. 37; La Canada 
Flintridge – 43 and La Puente – 
46.
The incorporated cities and 
unincorporated neighborhoods 
of the San Gabriel Valley with a 
population over 10,000 include: 
Altadena, Alhambra, Arcadia, Azusa, 
Baldwin Park, Citrus, Covina, Diamond

COMMUNITY INPUT SOUGHT TO 
HELP BALANCE SIERRA MADRE’S 
BUDGET 
With the reduction of revenue for the next fiscal 
year, July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, and the 
reality that Sierra Madre cannot sustain the level 
of services it currently provides, Mayor John 
Capoccia, Councilwoman Rachelle Arizmendi 
led one of many outreach efforts to solicit input 
from the community as to how the council 
should balance next year’s budget. 
On Tuesday, the presentation made to the 
Sierra Madre Kiwanis Club asked residents to 
review the city’s financial situations and let their 
elected officials know what services were most 
important to them; what services should be cut; 
suggest ways to increase city revenue and ideas 
on how to address the current situation. 
The Mayor noted that the city does have healthy 
reserves, however those funds are needed for 
emergencies such as the fires of 2008 or the 
windstorm on 2011. In each instance, because 
of the size of our town and other factors, the city 
had to pay a portion (and for certain items all) 
of the funds needed to repair the damages done. 
The current decrease in revenue, which is 
projected to be approximately $600,000 for the 
next fiscal year and as much as an additional 
$1 million for the 2016-2017 fiiscal year is the 
direct result of the failure of residents to pass 
the Utility User Tax modification in 2014. The 
current UUT will decrease to 8% for the 2015-
16 fiscal year and 6% the following year. Had 
the ballot measure passed, the rate would have 
remained where it is today, at 10%. 
The presentation focuses of the city’s general 
fund, the unrestricted revenue that operates 
Sierra Madre.
