58-year-old Michael Wass of Los Angeles was convicted by a Monterey
County jury during the week of July 15 for resisting arrest, assault on a peace officer
and obstructing a business. On June 20, 2018, at about 9:00 am, employees of D’Arrigo
Brothers shipping facility in Salinas found Wass asleep near the entry to their
facility, interfering with trucks attempting to exit the business. When asked
to move so that he would not be injured, Wass became aggressive and threatening,
prompting the employees to call for law enforcement. When Sheriff’s deputies
arrived, they asked Wass to move, but he refused, becoming immediately combative. When Deputy Burdick
reached toward Wass, he swung his fists and kicked his legs, attempting to
strike Deputy Burdick. Wass had to be pepper sprayed to stop the attack as he continued
to fight, kick and spit all the way to the hospital, where he was violent with
hospital staff, and to the jail, where he had to be bodily carried into a cell. Judge Efrain Iglesia sentenced Wass to three years of probation,
180 days in jail, and ordered
him to stay away from the D’Arrigo Brothers facility.

Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau. Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass. CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try to determi
