SECURITY GUARD CAPTURES SEX ASSAULT SUSPECT

FEBRUARY 29 2012

SANTA CRUZ CA Feb 29 2012 - A 21-year-old Morgan Hill man was arrested on suspicion of sexual battery following reports of a disturbance early Saturday morning at the Santa Cruz Metro Center.

Officers were dispatched to the Pacific Avenue station around 1:30 a.m., police spokesman Zach Friend said. When they arrived, a Metro security guard was detaining a sexual assault suspect. The guard told police he heard a woman scream “no,” and he went to investigate. The guard said he interrupted the suspect, Kivet Mendoza, who was holding the woman against the building as he attempted to touch her inappropriately while she told him to stop.

When the security guard intervened, Mendoza allegedly refused to obey the guard’s commands and threatened to stab him, Friend said. Mendoza then reached into his front pocket and advanced on the security officer. The two struggled on the ground for a short while before the guard was able to secure Mendoza in handcuffs as Santa Cruz police officers arrived. Police found a folding knife in Mendoza’s pocket.

According to police, the victim had met Mendoza at a party and the two agreed to go to her home. They were waiting to catch a bus there when Mendoza allegedly began to force himself on the woman to her objection, Friend said.

Mendoza was arrested and booked into County Jail on suspicion of multiple charges, including sexual battery, criminal threats and assault with a deadly weapon.

SCHOOL SECURITY GUARD COLLAPSES-DIES ON DUTY

FEBRUARY 2 2012

YOUNGSTOWN OH – A security officer who worked for years for a city school system collapsed and died while on duty Wednesday afternoon.

Sheriff Randall Wellington said Robert Conway, 56, of Youngstown, was working at Chaney High School when he collapsed with no warning while talking to someone.
Conway was also a reserve deputy sheriff.

School officials said they believe no students were in the area when Conway collapsed.

Wellington said doctors at St. Elizabeth Health Center said it appears Conway had a massive heart attack.

Conway had worked for years in the schools for the school board and had been a reserve with the Sheriff’s Office for 15 or 20 years, Wellington said. Conway was also a reserve officer for the city police department for several years, Wellington said.

”He was a good family man. A good father and husband,” Wellington said. ”Whenever you needed something, he was there at a moment’s notice.”

Sheriff’s Sgt. T.J. Assion, president of Mahoning County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 141, said Conway liked his job in the schools and the students liked him.

”He liked what he did,” Assion did. ”He loved those kids and those kids loved him. I’m going to miss him like crazy. Bob was just a great guy.”

Karen Ingraham, city schools communications director, said grief counselors would be at the school today, and for as long as needed, to meet with students and staff.
