Greenfield Man Sentenced to 8 Years in State Prison for DUI

 

SALINAS, California—Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on June 27 that on June 24, 2022, 25-year-old Gerardo Bautista Hernandez of Greenfield, was sentenced to

8 years in state prison after pleading no contest to felony driving under the influence and causing

injury. Hernandez also admitted that he caused great bodily injury to four victims, that he has a prior

DUI conviction, and his blood alcohol content (BAC) was 0.15% or higher.

On January 23, 2022, at approximately 6:14 p.m., CHP officers responded to a head-on collision

between a Toyota and a Saturn on northbound US 101 near Walnut Avenue. Upon arrival,

officers contacted a mother and her three juvenile children in the Toyota—all victims were

injured. The mother had several displaced rib fractures, a sternal fracture, and an ankle fracture.

The 15-year-old victim had significant internal injuries. The 9-year-old twin victims were

airlifted to Valley Medical Center. The son had a fractured wrist, and the daughter had a

fractured elbow.

The driver of the Saturn, later identified as Gerardo Bautista Hernandez, was found trapped in

his vehicle. A subsequent chemical test revealed his blood alcohol content was .15 percent.

This case was prosecuted by the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office specialized DUI

Vertical Prosecution Unit. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California

Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

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.

Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass.   CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try t...
