Salinas Man Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison for Kidnapping and Domestic Violence Incident in Chualar

SALINAS, California -- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on Monday, December 20, 2021 that on Friday, December 17, 2021 the Honorable Pamela L. Butler sentenced 33-year-old Jose Roberto Fierro, Jr. of Salinas, to 8 years in state prison. Fierro previously entered no contest plea to a felony charge of kidnapping and a misdemeanor charge of violation of a criminal protective order. Fierro admitted an enhancement that he committed the kidnapping while on bail for a prior felony. Fierro’s plea constitutes one “strike” under the California Three Strikes Law. In a second case, Fierro entered a no contest plea to a felony charge of assault likely to produce great bodily injury. On October 6, 2021, Fierro was driving near Chualar Road and Lincoln Street in Chualar with his significant other and their children. After a verbal argument, Fierro’s significant other and one of his children requested to exit the vehicle. Fierro also exited the vehicle. He then pushed his girlfriend into a drainage ditch on the side of the road. She landed on her face, causing scrapes, swelling, and bruising. Fierro then forcefully dragged her across the road and forced her back into the vehicle. He then dragged and forced his child into the vehicle as well. Both the woman and the child were screaming and trying to escape during the interaction. Fierro then sped away. Multiple bystanders called 911 to report the incident. One bystander recorded the incident on a cell phone. The case was investigated by Deputy Anthony Longo of the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office. On the date of the kidnapping, Fierro was out on bail from a July 2021 incident where, during an argument, he forced his girlfriend onto the bed and strangled her using both hands for several seconds until one of the couple’s children intervened and stopped him. That case was investigated by Officer Jonathan Flores of the Salinas Police Department.

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. 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.
