itchy triger fingers? Funny I didn't read anything about shots being fired.
If cops have a "itchy trigger fingers" then we should have a shooting incident everyday.

Here is a suggestion, if you think being a cop is so easy, why don't you become one and make the force better.

Randy wrote on Mar 27, 2008 8:28 AM:From my personnal experience with the Riverside Sheriff's Dept. (which all the local jurisdictions in Riverside County seem to use because there cheap) they are the most inept law enforcement agency in Southern California, Barney Fife has more on the ball than these low level technicians. How they ever received a POST certification and can legally carry deadly weapons just goes to show how far our standards have dropped in this state. These guys take an oath to uphold the constitution and I doubt that any of them know what they took an oath to uphold. It's a paycheck dude.

Here's hoping his family can feel a little safer now that he is off the streets, I know I will.

Did you not read the story???? These guys put away a lunatic. If not for them you might be reading about another murder/suicide or just murder. How much does it take before a judge will lock up an abuser. It took a lot this time after the Murrieta Detectives pursued the issue. Then and only then did the judge issue a warrant. Sgt Jim Ganley, you and your detectives are my heroes.

How many times have you read about a woman being murdered by her husband/boyfried or ex. She had a restraining order and you hear people say where were the cops? Why didn't they protect her? Well, guess what people. You just witnessed exactly that.

It would have been a completely different turn of events.

By the way, If you don’t like the Casino, Why do you live by one? The casino was here a lot longer than you have.

Great point on the dumb dad who kept his son in harms way. Idiot!

Red Hawk Dad wrote on Mar 27, 2008 11:29 AM:Please post this Mr. Staff Writer,
I'm taking alot of heat here.
-Cops did a great job, solid in all area's. Yes it was my fault for the line of fire thing. But here is my take: The casino attracts a bad crowd at night! Why did they close down Silk?
Because of the under age drinking and massive drug use. Lets get real people! Then they hit the roads and drive home after a wild night in my town, on my streets.

To Red Hawk Dad wrote on Mar 27, 2008 12:36 PM:If Pechanga closed down Silk for the reasons you stated, then they did the responsible thing. Yes, there are a lot of crazies out there but they are not all in the Casinos. Most of them are on the freeway and on surface streets. I see it everyday. Many are Moms driving their kids to school not caring about anyone else but themselves. So don't blame the Casino. I frequent the Casinos, both Pala and Pechanga and have yet to witness anything dangerous. They have excellent security and believe me I have been there all hours of the day and night. No, I am not a kid, more like a grandma spending my kids inheritance. I earned it, I will spend it. But, I digress. This incident had nothing to do with Pechanga. The lunatic in question put a lot of people in danger by his driving. Glad he is off the street and hope his family can fell safe.

Randy wrote on Mar 27, 2008 12:40 PM:Staff Writer,

It's amazing how you let more pro police statements in than you do negative statements.
There is a serious problem with the caliber with sworn law enforcement personnel. It is important for you to do your job and not be in effect a mouth piece for a problem. Let the discussion happen.

He was running from the cops, the same ones trying their hardest to protect this poor woman & her son. What the heck is wrong with you people that want to blame & point fingers?! The cops were clearly doing their jobs, even pulled back from the lunatic when he was risking others lives in the chase. Pechanga was the closest thing off the freeway you fools! Thank God it wasn't just down the street at the school as stated earlier!! ... I'll bet you're one of the same ones that stop on the freeways to get a look at an accident and cause traffic yet curse because you're stuck in it!

To all the officers...I applaud you!! Not so long ago you had your hands tied from assisting in stalker cases and felt horrible I'm sure when you got those calls that another woman and/or child was killed by one of them. And to Pechanga, we know you do for our community. The traffic there isn't the best, but heh...I knew what I was getting into when I moved here in Temecula. Redhawk Dad clearly needs to remember that as well!

Ford wrote on Mar 27, 2008 2:03 PM:To Red Hawk Dad, it is an access of force and very dangerous to other people. The wife's life is not worth other peoples lives in the event gun fire broke out. And the wife was not even in danger. It is a simple task to track down and capture a single man, probably un-armed. The Riverside Sheriffs are horrible, like to make threats, and do not belong in Temecula. My experience with Temecula police has always been a good one, they are true professionals. It is immature and unexperienced to support this type of response.

Concerned-1 wrote on Mar 27, 2008 2:20 PM:This guy was a time bomb. Sounds like law enforcement did an outstanding job of containment. Don't know what "Randy's" problem is. Maybe he was rejected from RSO. As for the guy's age; he definitely looks older than 47, or 57 for that matter.

concerned mom wrote on Mar 27, 2008 3:07 PM:I understand that this guy needed to be arrested. I am all for arresting anybody that does wrong. What I am against is when the high speed chase gets on any street near homes. Is it worth it to risk several lives over one idiot, that will eventually get caught anyway. We all remember what happened in Temecula in the late 90's when there was a high speed chase down Margaritta road and several high school students were killed. The chase needs to stop once the criminal goes off the freeway. It is just not worth it.

I hope you are not married or have daughters because I feel sorry for them.

they come home safe at the end of their shift.

To concerned Mom wrote on Mar 27, 2008 4:38 PM:If you read the story again you will see that the police did back off from the chase and let the helicopter follow. If that man had caused an accident it would not be because the police continued their pursuit. He should have pulled over when the attempt to stop him occurred. Actually if he had given up stalking his ex wife none of this would have happened. So don't blame the cops for what he caused. They were doing their job and a good one at that. It wasn't too long ago that a man could abuse his wife and get away with it. Restraining orders and calling the police meant nothing.

Irish wrote on Mar 27, 2008 4:45 PM:Are you kidding me? Do you not read the papers. We had several incidents in SW Riverside is 2007 of stalkers killing their wives/girlfriend's and then themselves.

If you haven't been in a domestic violence situation you are very fortunate but there are those that are not so lucky and these guys are violent.

Maybe if this guy bails out he can come live with some of you RSO bashers and we will see how your thought change!!

I dated a couple of them (great cop and wonderful humans) and they do not like high speed chases either. They think there are better ways of catching the criminals than racing through populated streets of innocent people is not one of the ways. Bad guys do not give up, that is why we have police. Last year there was a high speed chase here in Temecula right through a neighborhood where kids and families were outside playing. Luckilly noone was killed. Never blamed the cops for anything, just said that high speed chases are not safe, did you not read my entire comment?

Some writers above did not read carefully. The wife not only already had an order of protection before he was released on a very high bond on March 7th, but since then he was stalking her, vandalized her car, then her apartment already. When the judge heard this he revoked the bail AND ordered a warrant for his arrest AND ORDERED AROUND THE CLOCK POLICE PROTECTION FOR THE WIFE UNTIL POWELL WAS BACK IN CUSTODY. Before Powell was taken into custody during the standoff he used his cell phone to call his estranged wife. A Murrieta police person was guarding her at the time of the call. He was in jail previously charged with stalking, criminal threats, and false imprisonment of the estranged wife in December, but got out on bail. I feel a high certainty this judge that agreed to lower his bail in a February hearing WILL NOT give him another chance after he blew it so badly and so quickly this time. And he can sit in jail now for three years waiting for his trial, and I'll bet he gets a long prison sentence afterward.

Senior wrote on Mar 28, 2008 3:35 AM:On February 22, I was in a courtroom at the Southwest Justice Center to watch two hearings. (This was unusual for me. I had watched only one trial and no hearings in the past 27 years). In between the scheduled two they squeezed in another short hearing. They brought in a late-middle-aged looking man with a white mustache and beard in the orange clothes with chains on his wrists and legs. He sure did look like the man in this story. I did not follow his hearing, but I think it had to do with bail reduction, or an order of protection, etc. The judge told the defendant’s attorney and the prosecutor he wanted to hear from the estranged wife, whether she objected, before he decided. The prosecutor said she could get her. So they took that man away. Then scheduled hearing I was there to watch continued. An hour or so later the prosecutor brought her in and sat nearby waiting. When the hearing I was there to watch was over, I left. Now after reading this story in the newspaper I wish I had stayed to see what was said about the man and what his estranged wife said. Then I would know for certain whether it was the same man. Anyway judging from the two hearings I watched where the judge lectured those defendants very forcefully, I’ll bet that judge really lectured that man very forcefully about behaving properly if he lowered the bail. If the man in the story is the same man I saw, you better believe that man will not be out on bail anytime soon.

anotherview wrote on Mar 28, 2008 9:28 AM:Thank goodness the police caught this criminal, took him into custody and off the street, before he could harm another. From what I can gather, the police acted with coordinated precision to nail this criminal while minimizing disturbance to the community. Years ago, the newspaper quoted the sheriff of Riverside County on crime at the Pechanga casino. He said as a public place it attracts no more crime than a Target store. In fact, with all the security, surveillance, cameras, and hired regular police on the premises, the casino likely has a safer environment than any other public place in town. As to the kind of people who go there, they generally look like affluent Americans, wearing their presentable clothes, seeking a good time. Meanwhile, the criminal wears a jumpsuit as he sits in a jail cell, thanks to law enforcement.

There are good police out there but for the most part they have retired or doing something that really benefits society..... Do you read the papers? San Diego alone has had some very bad things to happen to people at the hands of law enforcement, now let's throw in Orange County, L.A County, LAPD, CHP and the list goes on and on, and these are only the incidents that we know about. LAPD's own I.A. department is now being forced to accually investigate complants, guess what? they weren't doing it, and you truly believe your local agency is any differant! Are you really that apathetic?? These guy's are technicians, what is there college level of education? News flash! poor police work is done everyday that's why these criminals walk. Here's a question how many times did this guy violate the court order before the police did anything 20....30? From my personnal experience they do nothing! I had to do it and my child is no longer being harassed or abused. Remember or learn, that The police are under no legal obligation to protect you. Supreme Court ruling dude.

A lot of this police activity occured in my neighborhood and I certainly have my opinions about what went down and the way the police handled the situation. I totally disagree with those who have bashed the police, for many of the same reasons in the blogs of the supporters. However, that doesn't mean I think those that I disagree with are idiots, etc. Don't you name callers realize you sound like you are 8 years old when you talk like that? It is my opinion (not that anyone cares) that when you can't present a reasoned argument that makes sense, maybe you shouldn't participate in the conversation, unless of course, you don't care that you have no credibility on the issue.

In Sept, she claims her husband is "stalking her" whatever that means, but there's not enough evidence to go to trial. In Dec, he holds her against her will, is charged and finally arrested and released. The wife is sent to a "safe house", paid for by the taxpayers, no doubt. In March, he's bothering her again so she gets a judge to issue an arrest warrant. It then takes the Murrieta police, Temecula police, California Highway Patrol, Swat and K-9 Units to chase down and catch a guy who has been pestering his wife. What a ridiculous waste of resources over a domestic issue that should have been dealt with back in Sept. I suggest a bill be sent to Mr. and Mrs. Nincompoop.

If you drive the 215 freeway you will see a sign honoring an RSO deputy who was killed by a "nice" man who had just murdered his girlfriend.

To all who played poker with this nice guy, you don't have a clue either.

I was married to a "nice" guy. He was physically, mentally and emotionally abusive. Took years to get free of him because everyone thought he was not capable of being anything other than a "nice" guy.

So listen up all you men that like to control, think you are God, better straighten up your act. Your kind make me sick.

Sorry Firedog, wrote on Mar 28, 2008 2:03 PM:Bad argument. A fire spreads and backup may be needed. The amount of law enforcement to apprehend one old guy for a domestic dispute was OVER THE TOP. Looking at the picture of the guy, I doubt he could outrun 'em.

I get it wrote on Mar 28, 2008 2:09 PM:I said the domestic dispute should have been taken care of back in Sept instead of letting the situation escalate to where it involved so much taxpayer dollars.

I didn't call him "nice" and I am well aware that domestic violence is a serious issue. Sounds like you still have a lot of anger, little lady, that you may want to deal with.

The Victim wrote on Mar 28, 2008 2:40 PM:"It took years to get free of him" YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!! With the way the system is set today it took years!!!
You probably stood by and never pushed his buttons and just out of no where he physically and mentally abused you.
You married him and he never showed any signs that he was abusive when you were dating or living together.....Or maybe just maybe you preferred being a victim. Oh and by the way more women attack spouses than do men. No physical abuse ia acceptable so you should have left maybe about 5 second after he did it the first time. I guess the question is did you two argue and the two of you wouldn't put limits on it.... Did you once try while during a disagreement to praise him for something he did well or did you pick such a looser that he had nothing on the ball....You may need to look within sweetheart. This is what goes on and now a low educated technician has to fix it. WOW!

Firedog wrote on Mar 28, 2008 3:05 PM:To "sorry firedog" this man was brought before the law and he did not get the message. He apparently was also not getting the message from his ex, which to me equals dangerous. The police had no idea what he was capable of doing but they did know what he had already done. This man could have been capable of anything and carried just about any weapon is his vehicle. Then instead of stopping for LE he goes to a crowded place with a lot of potential victims -- hmm sounds like a possibility of a larger spread.

No longer a victim wrote on Mar 28, 2008 3:21 PM:This all happened many years ago when domestic violence was OK. Those were the days when calling the cops did nothing. Those were the days when it was OK to beat up your wife. There were no safe houses, no where to go. I got out and I am stronger for it. I become angry when I hear people say "what did you do to set him off?" An abuser doesn't need anything to set him off. When I look at a list of all the tell tale signs, but in those days when you tried your best to explain this you were told that you were the crazy one. I am not talking ten years ago I am talking 50 years ago. I am a happy person and well adjusted person today. That person went on to marry many more times only to continue his abuse. He died a lonely sick old man.

To No Longer the Victim wrote on Mar 28, 2008 4:02 PM:I understand.... But really years? Where was your family? Was it okay with them he was slapping you around? If this happened 50 years ago how old are you! (rhetorical question) So this happened to you 50 years ago you didn't see the signs when you were dating for a year and engagged for a year? This stuff just happened out of the blue one day? or maybe you share in what happened by thinking you could fix him or you did nothing to
de-escalate what was happening. You are right there is no excuse for abuse but if you keep pushing the buttons and you know this guy likes to slap you around hey don't push the buttons. There have always been shelters family, church and other charities it just depended on how far you wanted to go to get out, which should be the first time this guy hits the wall or kicks the dog.
Look the guy was a looser and he's dead and that's a good thing.
