The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office is pursuing a first degree murder case against a former Ontario-based businessman, more than 29 years after his alleged killing of one of his employees when that employee sought to blackmail him over labor law violations that were taking place at the noodle plant where the alleged murderer was the operations manager.
Woravit Mektrakarn, who has been charged with murder in what is believed to have been the November 23, 1996 death of Luis Osvaldo Diego Garcia, has been the primary suspect in Garcia’s disappearance from the outset. He was arrested two days after Garcia was last seen, but released shortly thereafter when prosecutors felt there was insufficient evidence available at that time to bring him to trial. In short order, Mektrakarn left the United States, fleeing it was believed to either Thailand, the land of his birth, or Cambodia or Burma. It was believed and later established that he was living under a falsified identity between Burma and Cambodia and had been able to transit between those two countries and Thailand largely on the strength of his personal wealth and the social standing of his family. The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of International Affairs, the U.S. State Department, the International Liaison Office of the FBI and Interpol for a quarter of a century conducted a manhunt for Mektrakarn unsuccessfully.
For years, the case lay dormant until in April 2024, an individual believed to be Mektrakarn was observed to be residing in Bangkok under an alias and in disguise. After authorities were alerted, at the request of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of International Affairs and U.S. Embassy in Bangkok, the Royal Thai Police in Bangkok moved in upon Mektrakarn, who initially claimed a different identity. Thai law enforcement, however, confirmed who he was and held him in custody. Over a period of more than 20 months, an extradition process wound its way through Thai courts. On January 16, 2026, Mektrakarn was extradited to the United States and transported to San Bernardino by the U.S. Marshals Service.
Luis Osvaldo Diego Garcia, born on August 27, 1972 in Veracruz, Mexico, illegally entered the United States through the border at San Ysidro it is believed in April 1993 at the age of 20. He did not register his presence as an alien as required by U.S. Law. He took up residence in home in Ontario among a household of other undocumented immigrants, including two of his cousins. In Ontario, he found employment at noodle factory in that city, Rama Foods, was owned by Wichart Mektrakarn, a wealthy Thai businessman. The Rama Foods operation in Ontario was overseen by Woravit Mektrakarn, who also went by the informal first name Kim. Woravit Mektrakarn was a 1985 graduate of El Camino Real High School in Placentia. Mektrakarn’s wife, Aree, also worked for the the company in a management or administrative capacity.
By 1996, Garcia had been working at Rama Foods for two years, having obtained the job through his cousin, Rene Delgado, who had been working at the plant at least since 1987.   Rene Delgado worked for Rama Foods in the capacity of chauffeur, mechanic, translator, and liaison between the Mektrakarns and the plant workers, the vast majority of whom could not speak English.
The factory’s production workers consisted almost exclusively of undocumented immigrants, working in substandard conditions and provided with low wages at or marginally above minimum wage. Many of the company’s employees worked six days a week and 11-hour to 12-hour days, without being compensated for overtime.
At some point in the late summer or fall of 1996, Garcia became aware that the company was in violation of California’s labor laws, according to court documents, and threatened to report Mektrakarn to the state labor commission. Mektrakarn, in a bargaining session which was translated and in part brokered by Rene Delgado, agreed to pay Garcia $5,000 in exchange for dropping the issue. Mektrakarn paid him $1,000 up front with a promise of further like installments, with the proviso that Garcia keep silent about the deal and not inform any of the other employees at Rama about the arrangement.
Garcia had not returned to Mexico since coming to the United States and had arranged to make a return trip home, having purchased an airline ticket to fly to Veracruz, Mexico on December 8, 1996, so that he could visit his family.
Despite Garcia’s assurance to Mektrakarn that he would remain silent about the $5,000 hush money deal, at least two others who worked at Rama Foods beside Garcia and Rene Delgado – Garcia’s other cousin Francisco Delgado and an individual named Epifanio Flores – learned that Mektrakarn was providing Garcia with money in addition to his wages at the noodle plant, as did another of Garcia’s cousins, Guillermo Ramirez, who was residing in Fontana. Mektrakarn learned that Garcia was not holding up his end of the bargain when Flores began pressing to be paid $5,000.
Guillermo Ramirez, who lived in Fontana and has variously been described as Garcia’s “friend” and “cousin,” was with Garcia earlier in the day on November 23, 1996 at Ramirez’s apartment in Fontana. He testified that Garcia said that he was going to get money from Woravit Mektrakarn that day and Garcia had plans to return to Fontana, where they intended to go out to dinner later that evening. Ramirez testified that Garcia left Ramirez’s apartment in Fontana for Rama Foods between 3 and 4 p.m. on November 23, 1996.
That day, a Saturday, Garcia came to the plant, located at 1486 East Cedar Street in Ontario, to pick up what was supposed to be a $3,000 installment toward the agreed-upon $5,000.
Francisco Delgado later testified that on November 23, 1996, he arrived at the Rama Foods plant at 7:00 a.m. and later that morning drove Mektrakarn to Ontario International Airport to rent a Plymouth Voyager minivan.   According to Francisco, Mektrakarn returned to the plant in the rented minivan at “around 5:00 in the afternoon.”   Rene Delgado testified that he arrived at the plant at 8 a.m., and saw Mektrakarn there at 3 p.m. At that time, Mektrakarn’s usual car, a Honda Passport, was in the parking lot, according to Rene Delgado. At 4 p.m., Mektrakarn told Rene Delgado he was expecting Garcia to arrive.
Francisco Delgado recalled seeing Chansak “Buck” Plengsangtip, the factory manager and close friend and associate of of Woravit Mektrakarn, arrived at Rama Foods at around 4 p.m. Francisco Delgado testified he saw Plengsangtip park his car, a brown or tan Mercedes Benz, in the parking lot and walk toward the offices. According to Ramirez, Garcia left Ramirez’s apartment in Fontana for Rama Foods between 3 and 4 p.m. Rene Delgado saw Garcia at the plant at 5 p.m. Francisco and another employee, Julio Zamudio, saw Garcia arrive at 5 p.m. According to Francisco Delgado, Garcia arrived in his own car and walked toward the office area. Testimony placed Garcia’s car in the plant parking lot until about 5:30 p.m. Zamudio saw Garcia enter the plant area through one of the roll-up doors, and walk toward the office area.
At 5 p.m., Aree Mektrakarn called Rene Delgado into the plant’s north office to translate for Garcia. According to Rene Delgado’s testimony, there were five people in the office other than  himself:  Plengsangtip, Garcia, Woravit Mektrakarn, Aree Mektrakarn and Woravit Mektrakarn’s sister Vicky Mektrakarn. Woravit Mektrakarn and Aree Mektrakarn told Rene Delgado they were going to pay Garcia the rest of the money. Rene Delgado did not witness the payment.   Aree Mektrakarn told Rene Delgado to clean the area in the back of the plant, and Rene Delgado left the office with Aree Mektrakarn. Rene Delgado thought Aree Mektrakarn’s request strange, he later testified, because cleaning was not a part of his normal duties. He also testified that when he was in the office that afternoon, he saw two large, clean metal pots, handcuffs, and a handheld radio, and that when he wanted to return to the office later, Aree Mektrakarn would not allow him back in the office, Rene Delgado did not complete the cleaning assignment. Instead, he left for home at 5:30 p.m. As he did so, he drove by the outside door to the north office and looked through the window. Inside the office, he saw three men, at least two of whom appeared to be hiding or crouching. At that time, Garcia’s, Woravit Mektrakarn’s, and Plengsangtip’s cars were still in the parking lot, according to Rene Delgado, but Woravit Mektrakarn’s rented minivan was no longer there.
Francisco Delgado testified his usual duties included moving everyone’s cars inside the plant premises near the end of the day. Between 6 p.m and 6:30 p.m. on November 23, 1996, he said, he tried to enter the office area to retrieve car keys to move the cars and park them inside the plant’s fenced-in grounds, but Aree Mektrakarn did not allow him in the office area. This was the first time he had not been allowed to move the cars inside the factory yard, Francisco Delgado testified, and he said he left the plant at 7 p.m. At that time, he noticed that Plengsantip’s car was still in the parking lot.
During the afternoon, Woravit Mektrakarn ordered another employee, Julio Zamudio, to stack pallets in front of the south office door. This prevented access to the offices from the plant area. Zamudio used a forklift to begin stacking the pallets, and Woravit Mektrakarn completed the task. The stack was heavy and as high as the top of the office door, according to Zamudio’s later testimony, in which he said the stack was in place before he saw Garcia arrive at 5 p.m. During the 14 years Zamudio worked at the plant, he had never seen a stack of pallets blocking the office door, he testified. Zamudio also testified that another worker at the plant with the first name Adolfo was not allowed to count his sales route money inside the office that afternoon, as Adolfo usually did.
Garcia was not seen by either of his cousins, friends or acquaintances after that. The evening of November 23, 1996, Garcia did not return to Ramirez’s Fontana apartment with the money he said he was going to obtain from Woravit Mektrakarn to go out for the dinner as had been Garcia’s stated intention earlier that day. Both Rene Delgado and Francisco Delgado, who knew Garcia was expecting to receive money from Woravit Mektrakarn on November 23, did not see or hear from him after approximately 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on November 23, 1996 Garcia had a plane ticket for a scheduled flight to Veracruz, Mexico on December 8, 1996, and was intending to visit relatives over the course of several days thereafter, but did not show up at the airport.
At some point on or between late Saturday November 23, Sunday November 24 and the morning of Monday November 25, 1996, the Ontario Police Department was contacted by Francisco Delgado, and by mid-morning November 25, 1996, a homicide investigation was underway.
When Francisco arrived at work on the morning of November 25, he later testified, he entered the plant through the office area and noticed that the carpet was “cut up and dirty.”   It looked as though some liquid had been spilled on it, he told the court, and he said it did not appear that way when he last saw it on Saturday morning, November 23, 1996.
Homicide investigators with the Ontario Police Department were present on the grounds of the Rama Noodle Plant by 9 a.m.  Forensic supervisor Steve Hall arrived at Rama Foods crime at 10:15 p.m., and joined the investigation. When Hall arrived, Woravit Mektrakarn was present and had injuries on both his hands.
Hall testified about several items the police found in a dumpster 50 feet from the office area. Among those were a large metal pot wrapped in two plastic bags. There was ash inside the pot, and it looked as though someone tried to burn evidence in it, according to Hall. The investigators found in the dumpster a plastic bucket with burned carpet inside, and another three pieces of carpet that had been fused together by burning. Hall also found a small, triangular piece of carpet matching a triangular hole found in the south office carpeting, together with a can of lighter fluid with about one inch of liquid inside it, a pair of blue jeans stained white by bleach and with cleaning fluid on them, a yellow glove and pink velvet soap material, the same sort of fluid found on the rug in the north office, and an original fax cover sheet with Plengsantip’s company’s “Lanna Trading” letterhead at the top of it.
According to Hall, a piece of rug from the north office, carpet in the office hallway along the west wall, carpet next to the triangular-shaped hole in the south office and the area inside the office bathroom sink trap all tested positive for the presence of blood or blood stains. Hall also testified that two handguns were found at the scene.
Investigators interpreted the blood evidence to indicate Garcia was standing against the office wall when he was violently attacked, after which he was forcibly moved toward or perhaps dragged down the hallway and assaulted a second time in the bathroom.
The Plymouth Voyager minivan Woravit Mektrakarn had rented was nowhere to be found, and was reported as stolen. Garcia’s vehicle, a gray Tercel, was gone.
Woravit Mektrakarn was arrested for Garcia’s murder. Investigators knew, or had access to information to indicate, that Plengsangtip, Aree Mektrakarn and Vicky Mektrakarn were present in the Rama plant’s office on November 23. They were not taken into custody, however, and it is not clear from the available record as to whether Plengsangtip or Vicky Mektrakarn were interrogated at that time.
When no direct evidence turned up to establish that Garcia was actually dead and no further evidence beyond that in the dumpster or the office was found, prosecutors informed the Ontario Police Department that they had insufficient evidence upon which to convict, and Woravit Mektrakarn was released. In relatively short order, he, Aree Mektrakarn and Vicky Mektrakarn left the United States for Thailand.
On December 4, 1996, Garcia’s grey Tercel car was found in Los Angeles with its key in the ignition and the tank full of gasoline.
The Plymouth Voyager minivan Kim had rented and which National Rent-A-Car had reported stolen, was found in the parking garage of the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas on December 15, 1996, missing its license plates. It was locked, its ignition had not been punched out, and it did not appear to have been broken into. Internally, it smelled of bleach, and there was indication that a substantial amount of bleach had been poured onto the vehicle’s floor and rear compartment.
With Woravit Mektrakarn gone, the Ontario Police Department had no logical progression forward on the case.
One of the Ontario Police Department’s homicide investigators, Byron Lee, maintained an intense interest in the matter. Lee was convinced that Mektrakarn’s virtual immediate departure for Thailand after his release from custody in 1996 could not be interpreted any other way than that he was responsible for Garcia’s disappearance. As a consequence of his dedication, Lee was made the lead investigator. Still, the matter languished for weeks, then months and years.
In 2003, Lee and his team developed a DNA profile for Garcia and thereby, through comparisons with the evidence gathered on November 25, 1996, established the blood on the carpet was Garcia’s. A search of the factory more than six years after the fact was made, with forensic technicians spraying the office with fluorescein. That examination found spatters on the walls, floor and ceiling of the office and in the hallway and bathroom that were not visible previously.
The detectives next aggressively interrogated Plengsangtip, who unlike Woravit Mektrakarn, Mektrakarn’s wife and Mektrakarn’s sister, had not fled the country but was living in Granada Hills. The detectives concluded Plengsangtip was lying about what had occurred on November 23, 1996 and built a case against him, which then-District Attorney Mike Ramos, Assistant District Attorney Mike Fermin and deputy district attorneys Mark Vos and Debbie Ploghaus bought, which held that Plengsangtip was an accessory to Garcia’s murder in that he was present when it occurred even if he did not take part in it and that he had actively assisted Woravit Mektrakern in covering it up.
Plengsangtip’s acknowledgement that he was at the noodle factory on the night of the disappearance was enough, San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Barry Plotkin in October 2005 ruled, for prosecutors to proceed to trial against Plengsangtip on the accessory charge, despite the defendant’s insistence he knew nothing whatsoever about what befallen Garcia.
In 2006, however, Judge Ingrid Uhler overruled Plotkin, reasoning that Plengsangtip had made no admission of any knowledge of the disappearance or murder and that the district attorney’s office’s presumption that he was lying was just that – a presumption – and insufficient, without any further evidence of Plengsangtip’s involvement or knowledge of a crime, insufficient as the basis for prosecuting him as being an accessory to a murder, which had yet to be established as having occurred.
Rather than taking Judge Uhler’s ruling as an indication that there were gaps in their case, the district attorney’s office thereafter appealed her ruling to the Fourth Appellate District, arguing that there were grounds to indicate that something violent had occurred on the grounds of the noodle factory on November 23, 1996 and that Plengsangtip, as the manager of operations there and who acknowledged he was present, lacked credibility when he told investigators that he knew nothing about what had occurred that day. While someone cannot be prosecuted for having knowledge about a crime and not reporting it to authorities, Plengsangtip crossed the line when he actively lied about what went on at the noodle plant, prosecutors said.
At Plengsangtip’s May trial, which began on May 5,2008, Ploghaus alleged, and Plengsangtip acknowledged, he was present on the Noodle factory grounds on November 23, 1996 and in the plant’s office. The accessory to murder charges were supported by the testimony of more than eight witnesses, at least two of whom testified they saw Plengsangtip or his car at the factory when Garcia arrived to pick up his money and two of whom placed him in or around the office where the murder was alleged by the prosecution to have taken place at the approximate time Garcia was last seen. Two witnesses explicitly said Plengsangtip was in the office with Garcia and Woravit Mektrakarn.
According to Ploghaus, when Plengsangtip was confronted by homicide investigators, more than six years after Garcia’s disappearance, there were inconsistencies in his statements that strongly indicated he was lying about his knowledge of the crime to protect his friend, Woravit Mektrakarn. The evidence that a murder had taken place in the office was overwhelming when investigators and forensic technicians examined it on November 25, 1996, at which point an extensive effort to clean the crime scene had taken place. Plengsangtip’s statements that he was not aware of what had happened while witnesses placed him in the area where it occurred, which had blood scattered all about it, at around the same time that Garcia disappeared was not credible, she argued.
Plengsangtip, while not disputing he was there, insisted he had seen nothing out of the ordinary at the noodle plant on November 23, 1996 and that he was at the office only for a very brief time on that Saturday, since he had come there to meet up with Woravit Mektrakarn so they could take a recreational trip to Las Vegas. As it turned out, Woravit Mektrakarn was otherwise engaged, Plengsangtip said, so he left the noodle plant grounds.
Ploghaus was unable to provide an exact time of death or produce a body. She did not make anything of the fact that the Plymouth Voyager minivan leased by Woravit Mektrakarn ended up in Las Vegas on December 15, 1996, having been abandoned there for several days, and that Plengsangtip said he was in the gambling Mecca less than three weeks previously.
About a day after concluding arguments in the case were delivered, the eight-man, four-woman jury on May 14, 2008 acquitted Plengsangtip.
The entire case thereafter remained pretty much dormant for more than a decade-and-a-half.
American and Thai authorities, however, were on the lookout for Woravit Mektrakarn, who eluded capture in large measure based upon his family’s wealth and social standing and his use of different identities under which he was able to frequently transit between Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar.
In April 2024, the Royal Thai Police in Bangkok, who were acting on a tip and special request from the United States Embassy and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of International Affairs, apprehended Woravit Mektrakarn, who was living under an alias and in disguise. He remained in custody thereafter but after all of the efforts by his legal team had been exhausted, on January 16, 2026, he was extradited to the United States.
On January 22, 2026, Woravit Mektrakarn was arraigned in Rancho Cucamonga Superior Court on the charge of murder and pleaded not guilty. The motion for bail was denied, with the court finding clear and convincing evidence that no conditions could reasonably protect the public or ensure the defendant’s appearance.
“This case demonstrates our unwavering commitment to pursuing justice, no matter how much time has passed,” said District Attorney Jason Anderson. “It also stands as a testament to the extraordinary efforts and partnerships of law enforcement agencies across the globe, whose dedication made this outcome possible.”
Anderson made his confident statement, more than 17 years after the district attorney’s office took its best shot at Plengsangtip and missed, partially because of what was then the passage of more than 11 years since the crime. Anderson appears to believe, or says he believes, that 29 years after the events in question, his office can establish to all 12 members of a jury beyond reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty that Woravit Mektrakarn killed Luis Osvaldo Diego Garcia, despite Garcia’s body having never been found.
A pre-preliminary hearing for Mektrakarn is scheduled for February 17, 2026, at 8:30 AM in Department R15 at the Rancho Cucamonga Superior Courthouse.

In the days just ahead of a jury in a federal civil case originating out of San Bernardino County awarding a man crippled by the aggressive response of a sheriff’s deputy $27 million, the sheriff’s department elected to roll the dice by escalating the intensity of its operations in clearing the homeless out of the county.
While a fair number of county employees have expressed concerns that the heavy-handed, indeed ruthless and sometimes oppressively violent methods applied by the sheriff’s department are increasingly likely to result in dire or fatal consequences, those at the middle and command levels of the department are intent on resolving the homeless issue to the satisfaction of an increasingly callous public frustrated with the growing presence of the homeless population and the county’s political leadership, who measure progress on the issue in the reduction of its visibility.
Most of those involved are confident the indigent being encouraged to leave do not have the wherewithal to bring federal suits that might possibly cost the county any money.
The three highest ranking members of the county who are detailed to managing the county’s homeless crisis, Department of Behavioral Health Director Georgina Yoshioka and her assistants Jennifer Alsina and Marina Espinosa are said to be personally disturbed, in one case acutely emotionally to the point of tears, by the way in which the sheriff’s department employs brutality and violence against the county’s homeless population, most notably males between the approximate ages of 17 to 55, but are unwilling to offer resistance to what is occurring out of the belief that in doing so they would incur the wrath of the board of supervisors, Assistant Executive Officer Diane Rundles, Deputy Executive officer Victor Tordesillas, risking their employment status with the county.
Official homeless figures in San Bernardino County have varied over the last decade and a half. At the behest of the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, local governments carry out what is referred to as a point in time count of the homeless living within their jurisdictions, traditionally, with some fluctuation, on a single day during the final two weeks of January.

Report Measures The Impact Lawsuit Abuse Adds To California’s High Cost Of Living

By Victor Gomez, Executive Director, Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse
It seems the buzzword captivating Americans these days is “affordability”. Yet everywhere you go, prices still seem to be increasing here in California. We’re all seeking relief from the high costs of living, with no end in sight. This trend is already being compounded by a hidden cost driver known as the “tort tax”, which this year totals $2,567 for each Californian. This number represents the hidden tax and the extra burden every Californian pays per year to compensate for California’s overly litigious climate. Along with high costs, lawsuit abuse also leads to 850,915 jobs lost throughout the state, which notably already has the highest tax rates and unemployment rates in the nation.
Every day, thousands of small business owners face lawsuits, all based on technical violations, where no one was really harmed. We might not think much of it, but we should.
Consider the case of one restaurant owner: someone who survived the economic hardships of the pandemic and California’s stagnant economy, only to face an unwarranted Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) lawsuit because the dining room table in her restaurant was 1/16 of an inch too low. It cost this restaurant owner $11,000 to settle this case, showing just how real and costly lawsuit abuse can be for small business owners. Continue reading →

Oral health is more than just a bright smile, it’s an important part of a child’s growth, development and overall well-being. Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among kids in the U.S., affecting nearly half of children ages 2-19. About 1 in 10 children ages 2-5 experience untreated decay, a number that climbs to nearly 1 in 5 by ages 6-8.
Baby teeth play an important role in a child’s development, serving as the foundation for healthy permanent teeth and supporting speech and overall well-being. Moreover, emergency dental care causes children in the U.S. to miss approximately 34 million school hours annually. Good oral health habits and staying on top of dental checkups from an early age can help reduce the risk of developing cavities and other conditions that affect overall health.
Here are some tips for parents to help promote good childhood dental health:
Encourage healthy snacking and hydration. What children eat and drink plays a big role in their oral health. Sugary snacks and drinks feed bacteria that can erode enamel and lead to cavities. Limiting sugar and encouraging plenty of water helps rinse away food particles, dilute acids, and support healthy saliva flow. Adding nutrient‑rich foods like fruits, vegetables, cheese and yogurt provides calcium and vitamin D to help keep teeth and bones strong. Continue reading →

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department’s reputation for overly aggressive action on the part of its deputies, the notorious unreliability and self-serving nature of the investigative reports generated by the department in conjunction with those uses of force and the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office’s traditionally uncritical appraisals of both those actions and the follow-up investigations into them led to a federal jury awarding $27.35 million to a Victorville man left partially paralyzed as the result of his shooting by a San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy, according to two of those jurors.
The majority of jurors who heard the case brought in U.S. District Court in Riverside by Attorney Dale Galipo on behalf of Steffon Barber indicated during deliberations that they believed Barber, now 39, acted foolishly and unreasonably when the sheriff’s department was called to a disturbance call in the 12000 block of White Avenue in Adelanto at around 11 in the evening on April 27, 2021, the two jurors said. Nevertheless, both indicated a majority of the jurors believed the officer who first responded to the incident overreacted in the face of the Barber’s bizarre behavior and then lied in an effort to minimize the seriousness of what he had done when other members of the sheriff’s department initiated an inquiry into what had happened.

The homes and offices of Ontario Councilman and mayoral candidate Alan Wapner and Fourth District San Bernardino County Supervisor Curt Hagman were the targets of raids by the FBI, the Sentinel has learned.
Both politicians have long been the focus of investigations into pay-to-play politics within the Inland Empire community where they serve as elected officials, as well as their efforts on behalf of foreign governments, corporations and business interests, including the secreting of what was alleged to be bribe money into the country.
The raids relating to Wapner and Hagman took place inside and outside San Bernardino County, where the duo are both career politicians based in the Fourth Supervisorial District, the most geographically compact and densely populated of the county’s five subjurisdictions. San Bernardino County’s Fourth District includes the entirety of the cities of Chino Hills, Chino, Montclair and Ontario, the southern portion of Upland and the unincorporated communities of as well as the Carbon Canyon, Velano, Yorba, West End, Prado, Narod, Ballou, Racimo and Guasti. Hagman’s career as a politician began with his election to the city council and later ascension to mayor, followed by his election the California Assembly, his acceding to the position of chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee, and his election as Fourth District San Bernardino County Supervisor and reelection to that post three time. Wapner, who was employed as a police officer, detective and later a sergeant with the Ontario Police Department, began his political career as a member of the Ontario-Montclair School District Board and was first elected to the Ontario City Council in 1994, having been reelected to that post seven times. He is currently vying for Ontario mayor.
In carrying out the raids, FBI agents were seeking evidence and documentation pertaining to quid pro quos – bribes or kickbacks – provided to Wapner and Hagman by individuals, business entities, business owners and principals in businesses which had applications for project approval with the city or the county, which were competing for contracts with the city or county or which were seeking franchises granted by the city or county that ultimately were subject to approval by the Ontario City Council or the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.
In addition, federal agents were seeking instruments or documents relating to Wapner’s and Hagman’s overseas banking activity, most particularly involving financial institutions in the People’s Republic of China, and their ability to access those accounts or transfer money, as well as account codes, or platform access and management tools for cryptocurrency exchanges.
Wapner and Hagman have been on the FBI’s radar for over a decade, as dozens of their constituents have noted irregularities and improprieties in their operations, and reports of one or the other purchasing the silence of other officials have abounded for years and those who have gone to both state and federal authorities with information or complaints have expressed dismay and frustration at the glacial pace of law enforcement’s and political regulatory agencies’ investigations into that alleged wrongdoing.
Relatively early on, federal investigators took note of how Hagman moved, shortly after he assumed the position of county supervisor, to hire Wapner as a member of his staff. This reflected a similar pattern evinced by Wapner in which he has used the authority vested in him as an elected official to hire individuals known or believed to be in possession of information that is potentially damaging to Wapner on either a personal, legal or political level, as part of what appears to be an effort to keep Wapner in power.
Over the years, federal investigators accumulated what well-placed sources have told the Sentinel was sufficient information to justify arresting and charging both Wapner and Hagman with criminal acts relating to the misuse of their official governmental positions. The U.S. Attorney’s Office held off on that action, it was said, as investigators were attempting to widen the investigative net and cinch up information relating to a number of others involved with them in the activity under investigation. According to those sources, because the activity Wapner and Hagman were engaged in was ongoing, delaying the filing of charges against either of them had no statute of limitations implication.
There are a number of parallels in the political careers of Alan Wapner and Curt Hagman. Hagman, a UCLA graduate, is nine years Wapner’s junior. Wapner, a USC alumnus, was first elected to the Ontario City Council in 1994. Ten years later, in 2004, Hagman was first elected to the Chino Hills City Council. In 2008, Hagman was elevated by his council colleagues to the appointed position of mayor. It was in the capacity of Chino Hills mayor that Hagman campaigned for and won a position in the California Assembly. He was subsequently reelected to the Assembly in 2010 and 2012.
In 2011, Wapner embarked on an effort to wrest Ontario Airport from the grip of the City of Los Angeles.
In 1967, when the annual number of passengers passing through the airport’s gates stood at 200,000, the cities of Ontario and Los Angeles had entered into a joint powers agreement, whereby the larger metropolis was to use the expertise and personnel at its command by virtue of its ownership and operation of Los Angeles International Airport to run Ontario Airport, in so doing using its relationship with scores of national and international airlines to improve the smaller airport and induce more than just the handful of airlines then willing to fly into and out of Ontario to establish operations there. In 1985, after Los Angeles had succeeded in meeting all of the criteria laid out in the joint powers agreement, Ontario deeded the airport to Los Angeles, which continued with defraying operational costs at the airport and financed or arranged financing on continued modernization of the facility, including constructing what was the largest civilian runway in California, a state-of-the-art concourse and two ultra-modern terminals.
Ridership at Ontario Airport had peaked in 2007 at 7.2 million, but declined steeply as a consequence of the economic downturn precipitated by the subprime mortgage crisis that hit the nation, state and local region, resulting in what was referred to as “the Great Recession.” Utilizing the drop-off in the number of passengers experienced by the airline industry in general as a pretext while arguing that Los Angeles officials were purposely mismanaging Ontario Airport to increase ridership at Los Angeles International, Wapner aggressively demanded that Los Angeles return Ontario Airport to Ontario. His tactics including a highly personal attack on Gina Marie Lindsey, the executive director at Los Angeles World Airports, the corporate entity that Los Angeles used to oversee Los Angeles International Airport, Ontario Airport and Van Nuys Airport. While accusing Lindsey of running Ontario Airport into the ground, Wapner in 2012 convinced Ontario Mayor Paul Leon and his other council colleagues to create the Ontario International Airport Authority, which was intended to step into the role of operating and managing the airport once Los Angeles and Los Angeles World Airports were out of the picture.
Wapner succeeded in being designated as the president/chairman of the board of directors for the Ontario international Airport Authority, which had as two of its five other board members Wapner’s council colleague and political ally, James Bowman, as well as the county’s then-Fourth District supervisor, Gary Ovitt, who had previously been Ontario mayor. Wapner pushed the city toward filing suit against Los Angeles in an effort to recover the airport, and the city retained the law firm of Sheppard, Richter, Mullen, and Hampton to do so.
In pursuing that end, Wapner took a scorched-earth approach in which there appeared to be no regard for the impact the hostile tactics he was employing would have in the long run, nor what bridges were being burned with elected and other officials in Los Angeles, at least some of whom would move into powerful positions in state and federal government. Moreover, Wapner did not take into consideration that Los Angeles, which had control over gate position at Los Angeles International Airport and had strong ties and influence with the more than 90 airlines that fly into and out of that facility, was in a position to, on the positive side, offer airline executives with airlines who had no presence in Ontario inducements or incentives to schedule landings into or flights from there or, from a negative perspective, influence airlines already established in Ontario to discontinue their operations there. A consensus was growing among local, county and regional officials that Wapner was being too aggressive and gratuitously offensive, such that his bull in a China shop approach was wreaking more harm than the city or nearby communities stood to gain by returning the airport to local control. Wapner’s determination to have Ontario, which simply lacked the gravitas and leverage of the megalopolis 37 miles to the west, intimidate Los Angeles into capitulation would not only not work, most thought, but create an institutional enmity where none had existed before and which would have no salutary outcome.
To Hagman, as the highest-ranking local elected state official with ties to the Inland Empire’s business community and financial institutions, fell the assignment of attempting to serve as a moderating influence on Wapner, He was designated to approach the councilman and seek to convince him that at the very least he should tone down his vituperative rhetoric with regard to Los Angeles officials and dispense with the strategy of outright seizing the airport in favor of more amicable tack that would be less likely to antagonize some or all of those who yet had say not only in how the airport was being run but were in a position to determine how spiritedly Los Angeles should fight in maintaining its hold on Ontario Airport and the terms by which it was to be relinquished to the municipal jurisdiction in which it is located.
A small circle of those involved in government knew that Paul Leon, Ontario’s mayor, had, as a child, lived in the same East Los Angeles neighborhood as then-Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Those people openly mused, among themselves, as to whether Leon would be able to work out a better deal by applying honey with his childhood chum than Wapner was trying achieve by dousing the situation with vinegar.
At least some federal investigators have come to recognize that it was the contact Hagman was making with Wapner in the 2012 and 2013 timeframe with the intent of getting the councilman to cool his jets and dispense with his solipsistic, indeed delusional, stance as David seeking to slay Goliath in favor of a more reasonable avenue of negotiation and compromise with Los Angeles that gave rise to the collusion between Wapner and Hagman that is at the heart of the matter now being investigated and which is the focus of the search warrants served today.
Indeed, if it was Hagman’s intention to reason with Wapner and convince him that he was being overzealous in his demands that Los Angeles surrender control of the airport to Ontario and San Bernardino County, the outcome was virtually the opposite. Rather than Hagman convincing Wapner that he should alter his course, it was Wapner who persuaded Hagman to deviate from the path he was on and join him, and that Ontario seizing control of the airport was in their mutual benefit.
Under the term limits then in place for members of the California Legislature, Hagman was required to leave the Assembly at the end of his third term, which was to come to a close in December of 2014, a month after the November 2014 election. Logic dictated that Hagman, by that point a committed career politician, next move to the California State Senate. That was complicated by the consideration that Senate District 29, which encompassed Chino Hills where Hagman then resided, was at that point represented by Bob Huff, like Hagman a Republican. Huff had first been elected to the California State Senate in 2008, the same year Hagmna had been elected to the Assembly. California state senators are elected to four-year terms, and under the term limit rules then in effect, state senators were restricted to two terms. Thus, Huff, who was reelected in 2012, was set to remain as the senator representing District 29 until December 2016. This meant that Hagman, as the heir apparent to Huff, would need to wait for two years after leaving the Assembly before stepping back into political office, this time as the state senator representing Chino Hills along with Diamond Bar, Walnut, Yorba Linda, Brea, La Habra, Placencia, Fullerton, Anaheim and Cypress. Hagman was ready to so, as the district was a safe one for a Republican, his experience in the Assembly prepared him to make a transition into California’s upper legislative house, he had represented a large swath of the 29th Senate District as the assemblyman representing Assembly District 55 and he was positioned as an incumbent assemblyman in the 2012-to-2014 timeframe to raise a substantial amount of money for his future political endeavors, not to mention he could likely count on Huff’s endorsement.
After meeting with Wapner several times, however, ostensibly as part of the effort to broker a reasonable resolution to the dispute between Ontario and Los Angeles over Ontario Airport, Hagman came away with the idea that Ontario should charge forward with obtaining the airport, the sooner the better, and that he should himself get in on the action. Rather than progress up the political evolutionary chain to state senator in 2016, Hagman concluded, he should take a step backward to county supervisor in 2014.
Such a move was to take some maneuvering and gyrating. A major factor was that the incumbent Fourth District supervisor was Gary Ovitt, the former Ontario mayor. Ovitt was not only a Republican, but was eligible, under the county’s term limit rule which had been enacted in 2006 and was applicable thereafter, to seek reelection in 2014 and again in 2018 before being termed out at the end of 2022. To run in 2014, Hagman would have to displace a member of his own party, a move not readily accepted within Republican circles.
A decade previously, the county’s Republican leadership, which was later discredited and removed from all vestiges of political authority, had consented to the party siding with one Republican over another or set of Republicans over another set of Republicans during primaries. That practice had come to a halt, however, when Robert Rego had been chosen as the chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee in 2008. Rego’s first priority was promoting the Republican Party as a whole rather than catering to the whims and personal ambition of individual politicians, which meant electing Republicans and keeping them in office was his priority. Not only had Rego, a certified public accountant who was extremely conscious of the importance of funding and fundraising in a political context, emphasized the importance of the local party building up a substantial amount of money to carry out campaigns promoting Republican candidates and initiatives embraced by the GOP, he had insisted on discontinuing the immediate past practice of allowing county Republican Central Committee money being used against Republican candidates in primary elections by other Republican candidates.
Generally speaking, the strategy under Rego was that incumbent Republicans, who had by definition demonstrated their electability, were to be supported by the party apparatus. In primary elections where there was no Republican incumbent involved, the party was to steer clear of taking sides. The San Bernardino County Republican Party’s official policy while Rego was at the helm was that in the primary elections held in March in presidential election years and June in gubernatorial election years, Republican candidates would vie against one another without the party becoming involved with endorsements or monetary contributions of any sort, such that, hopefully at least, the best Republican candidate would rise on his or her own merits to the top. The basic understanding was that where an incumbent with a demonstrated track record of winning was seeking reelection, loyal Republicans would stand down, not challenge the incumbent and for the good of the party jump in to help the incumbent perpetuate his or her incumbency. At that point, after the primary was concluded, going forward toward the November general election, the party’s money and endorsements would be brought to bear in favor of the Republican candidate vying for whatever position was at stake, be it for the school district board, water district board, city council, mayor, county supervisor, Assembly member or California state senator.
For Hagman, his path forward was clear. The first order of business was that Rego would need to be deposed. Rego would not countenance a non-incumbent Republican running against a proven incumbent Republican. That meant, Hagman knew, the party would not get behind him challenging Ovitt.
In 2013, while he was yet in the Assembly and functioning largely from Sacramento, Hagman, assisted by his chief of staff, Mike Spence, targeted Rego for removal as the chairman of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee. Hagman and Spence acted ruthlessly in dethroning Rego, who had done a masterful job during his tenure as chairman of transforming the central committee into an efficient fundraising machine that was dedicated to the GOP cause. Hagman and Spence used a carrot-and-stick approach. The stick consisted of threats to Rego himself and his supporters that they would be transformed into party irrelevancies if they attempted to keep Rego in the chairman’s post, intimating that Hagman’s ascendancy to the county chairmanship was supported by the state Republican Party and therefore inevitable. When that eventuality occurred, they said, Hagman would purge the county central committee’s executive committee of Rego loyalists. This was matched with carrots, consisting of promises that if the committee members went along, those committee members who were part of the Rego Administration’s executive committee would keep their vaunted positions under Hagman. Rego himself was offered the position of treasurer if he gracefully acceded to being replaced as chairman by Hagman.
Ultimately, Rego deferred to Hagman and before 2013 was concluded, Hagman was central committee chairman.
Heading into 2014, Ovitt could feel the ground shifting below his feet. Gloria Negrete McLeod of Chino, a lifelong Democrat, had initiated her political career as a member of the Chaffey College Board of Trustees before she successfully vied for the California Assembly in 2000, then ran, again successfully, for California State Senate in 2006 when she was termed out of the Assembly, before managing to be re-elected state senator in 2010. Two years later, Negrete McLeod leapt into the U.S. House of Representatives when then-New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, then a Republican, endowed her, even though she was a Democrat, with more than $5 million to challenge and defeat incumbent “Blue Dog” Democrat Congressman Joe Baca in 2012. After a single term in Washington, D.C., Negrete McLeod opted to leave Congress and, like Hagman was attempting to do, step backwards down the political evolutionary chain by running for Fourth District county supervisor.
While Ovitt confidently asserted he would be able to hold off Negrete McLeod’s challenge, he simultaneously found himself undercut by the reality that Hagman had commandeered control of the San Bernardino County Republican Central Committee. As central committee chairman, Hagman was in a position to cut off a significant portion of the funding that would have otherwise been available to Ovitt and to deny the incumbent the endorsement of the Republican Party as well, while claiming that for himself. Running for reelection as supervisor was suddenly a way more dicey situation than it had been six months previously, Ovitt realized. He pulled out of the race.
|Despite the Democrats enjoying a significant voter registration advantage over Republicans in San Bernardino County’s Fourth Supervisorial District, Hagman ultimately defeated Negrete McLeod in the November 2014 election. The following month, Hagman supplanted Ovitt as the representative of the Fourth District’s 419,669 residents in San Bernardino, simultaneously moving into the position of airport commissioner at Ontario International Airport. Alpha type personalities both, it took some time for Wapner and Hagman to adjust to coexisting in the same public forum. Ostensibly, Wapner, who was widely perceived as one of, if not, the most aggressive political figures in the county, occupied a less impressive, prestigious and powerful position as councilman than the supervisor’s position Hagman had acceded to. Hagman, too, was known for his assertive, combative style. Yet in the context of the forum they were now dealing with on a monthly basis, the Ontario International Airport Authority Board of Commissioners meetings, Wapner, s the board chairman, was the presiding officer. Hagman, as a board member, remained in his lane, and the two over the next several months established a working relationship in which neither threatened or overrode the other in a heavy-handed way.
In August 2015, a settlement was reached between the cities of Ontario and Los Angeles regarding Ontario International Airport. After Ontario dropped Wapner’s demand that Los Angeles deed the aerodrome back for no consideration and agreed a $150 million purchase of the airport property, paying another $60 million to take possession of the aviation-related assets technically belonging to Los Angeles World Airports that were in place at the airport and which were indispensable to its operations as well as agreeing to take on the responsibility of servicing some $60 million in bonded indebtedness Los Angeles had assumed over the years to finance airport improvements in Ontario, Los Angeles agreed to return ownership of the facility in its entirety and let Ontario take over management of the facility effective November 1, 2016.
That milestone having been achieved, the following month, without any fanfare, Hagman arranged to take on Wapner as a member of his supervisorial staff. In an effort to minimize attention and scrutiny of the arrangement, Wapner’s appointment as the 4th District’s policy advisor was not put on the board of supervisors’ September 15, 2015 agenda ahead of time but presented as a late “walk-on” item to the board’s consent calendar. Wapner began work in the assignment, which had no set schedule nor requirement that he be present in the office daily or any specified time, and paid him an annual salary of $48,326 plus benefits of $1,859.
Once Wapner was installed as Hagman’s policy advisor, the two embarked on an effort to court businesses and convince them to locate in the 4th District, as well as inviting investment in the area. Neither Wapner nor Hagman was restrictive in terms of where those infusions of capital were to come from, involving either domestic or foreign speculators and investors. Early in Wapner’s tenure as 4th District policy advisor, the two traveled on multiple occasions outside the country together, in particular to the Far East, including both Taiwan and China, ostensibly to interest investors there in activity around the airport or regarding airport operations. A report at the time was that both established bank accounts in the People’s Republic of China.
Simultaneously, with the pending exodus of the City of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Department of Airports, Los Angeles World Airports and Lindsey from Ontario, inquiries from entities testing whether the restrictions relating to the use and eventual sale of Ontario Airport property that had been in effect while Los Angeles had ownership and control of the facility would remain in place once Ontario was in the driver’s seat began flooding in. Those interested in obtaining property on the airport grounds that Ontario might designate as “surplus” included development companies, logistics companies, real estate companies and speculators. The lion’s share of those were domestic entities, with a few foreign companies or partnerships expressing interest. Of note, a few of the ostensibly American-based companies in actuality were funded virtually entirely by foreign capital. A handful of those, consisting primarily of Chinese investors, had headquarters in California, primarily Los Angeles and Orange counties. A codeword for those – “Orange County interests” – came into vogue at Ontario City Hall, the airport authority’s executive offices on the airport grounds and in Hagman’s offices at the county. Understood was that Orange County interests were very interested in obtaining property at or near Ontario Airport, were willing to pay top dollar for it and outspend any competition if a bidding war for the property materialized, and that the Orange County interests were ready to show appreciation to anyone involved in the process, including airport authority staff and decision-makers or governmental officials, who facilitated them in achieving their goals.
Upon reaching the agreement with Los Angeles to reassume eventual ownership and management of the airport, the Ontario International Airport Authority Board of Commissioners initiated what turned out to be a five-month global search to find an airport management professional to oversee the airport. In January 2016, the board of commissioners approved the hiring of Kelly J. Fredericks to serve as Ontario International Airport’s chief executive officer. Fredericks was at that time the president and chief executive officer of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, which controlled and operated Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport near Providence. Fredericks arrived in Ontario in March of 2016, and spent the next six months shadowing the Los Angeles World Airports staff in their daily operations running Ontario International in preparation of the November 1, 2016 ownership transition.
Almost immediately upon that transition, Wapner began pressuring Fredericks to compile a list of what portions of the 1,741-acre airport property could be deemed “surplus,” meaning not currently crucial to airport operations. The idea, Wapner made clear, was to prepare and then execute upon his intention, which he insisted was supported by the other members of the airport board of commissioners, to sell the property to entities that would make use of it and thereby boost the local economy. He had, Wapner said, undertaken to return Ontario Airport to Ontario’s control because the airport was most useful as an “economic engine” for the region, which he said Los Angeles officials had failed to take stock of. Ontario had already squandered the economic development potential at the airport during the 30 years Los Angeles had control over it, Wapner said, and he asserted it was imperative that the transfer of non-essential land there be freed up for sale at once.
Fredericks, who was uncertain of what Wapner’s true intention was, nonetheless had doubts about the legitimacy of his motivation. While there were pockets of land around the 1,741 acres that were indeed, at that moment, lying fallow and not being put to aeronautical use, aviation use, support use or any use whatsoever, the possibility existed that a time would come when the property might prove critical to airport operations. Selling the property in a rushed sale, Fredericks knew, would potentially preclude, at a later date, expansion of the airport and it operations. Undertaking to reacquire the property at some future point after it was in the hands of another entity utilizing it for some other purpose, would prove expensive, and more likely than not prohibitively expensive, Fredericks said. He pushed back, or attempted to push back. Fredericks did not understand, or came to understand too late, that Wapner does not gladly indulge those who defy him. He told Fredericks in no uncertain terms at that point that he needed to quit shilly-shallying around and carry out a survey of what airport land could be sold off. It wasn’t a request, Wapner said. It was an order, he made clear, given by the president of the airport authority who had the backing of all four other members of the board.
Fredericks continued to drag his feet. Two months later, when Wapner recognized that Fredericks was not going to acquiesce to the sale, on July 5, 2017, he forced Fredericks to resign through a combination of threats and inducements. One of those inducements was agreeing to pay Fredericks the remaining $1,494,375 of the $1,992,500 in his five-year $398,500 annual contract to have him leave.
Despite Wapner and the city having pursued the campaign to liberate the airport from the clutches of Los Angeles by claiming Los Angeles World Airports had been mismanaging the
airport, when the Ontario, San Bernardino County and the Ontario International Airport Authority assumed ownership of the facility, it poached numerous Los Angeles World Airports staff members, hiring them into key management posts at Ontario Airport. Having effectively sacked Fredericks, Wapner found himself in the position of having to turn to one of those, Mark Thorpe, who had been the director of air service development & marketing with Los Angeles World Airports from June 2003 to December 2011, worked as the assistant vice president of air service development at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport from 2012 to 2015 and was then selected by Fredericks to come to Ontario International Airport in August 2016 into the position of Ontario International Airport Authority’s first chief development officer, in which capacity he spent his first ten weeks on the job working side-by-side with some of his former colleagues at Los Angeles World Airports while the clock wound down to Ontario’s November 1 takeover of the airport. Following Fredericks’ departure, Thorpe moved into the position of the airport’s interim executive director. Three months later, In October 2017, the board of directors dropped the qualifier “interim” from his title, designating him as the airport’s chief executive officer.
Just as he had with Fredericks, Wapner began to relentlessly bang on on Thorpe to get him to identify and then prepare for sale a roster of surplus properties contained within the airport’s 2.72-square mile grounds. By that point, Wapner’s actual objective in the pressing for having certain parts of the airport cataloged as surplus had become known.
Two entities, the Sares-Regis Group and Lee and Associates, had become interested in what was considered to be a prime piece of ground at the airport, a 198-acre property, referred to as “the boot” because of the unique shape and outline of its combined boundaries. Situated on ground immediately east of the airport’s runway just across Haven Avenue, south of Airport Drive and north of Jurupa Avenue, the property was perceived as ideal for industrial logistics and commercial warehousing projects.
In 2015, Lee & Associates represented Sares Regis Group it the purchase of 150 acres of land extending nearly a mile along the north side of Interstate 10, between Archibald and Vineyard avenues in Ontario. Sares purchased the land with the intention of transforming it and adjacent property into the Meredith International Centre, a 243-acre campus with a 3-million-square-foot mega-warehouse and industrial distribution facility. Sares Regis and Lee & Associates had even more energetic designs on the boot. Together, Lee & Associates and Sares Regis approached Wapner, offering to pay the airport authority $101 for the 198 acres.
Wapner did not feel he was in in a position to turn Sares Regis and Lee & Associates down. From April of 1998 through 2021, state campaign reporting documents show, Sares-Regis, including principals John Hagestad and Peter Rooney as well as its employees Larry Lukanish, Kenneth Coatsworth, Patrick Russell, Vincent Ciavarella and William Thormahlen, provided Wapner with at least $123,444 in political donations. Similarly, between December of 1999 and December of 2021, Joe McKay, Mike Wolfe and Carol Plowman of Lee & Associates supplied Wapner with $95,596.07 in campaign funding.
Throughout the closing months of 2017 and into the late winter and early spring of 2018, Wapner expressed confidence in Thorpe, who had succeed, shortly after moving into the airport executive officer position, in scoring two impressive coups – landing two new carriers, Frontier Airlines and China Airlines. “Mark is committed to transforming ONT [Ontario International Airport] into a magnet for economic development in the Inland Empire,” Wapner said.
Yet, as he closely examined the course Wapner, Hagman and the rest of the board wanted the airport to take, Thorpe had come to the same conclusion that Fredericks before him ad reached: Selling off the airport property would be a mistake. Once the land was developed and in the hands of private owners and companies, it would be virtually impossible to reclaim for airport use, based upon its value and the building that would take place on it.
For a time, Thorpe played along, toying with the prospect of having the authority sell off some of the acreage most distant from the airport grounds, well away from actual aeronautical activity was ongoing or likely to ever take place. But those parcels were not what Lee & Associates and Sares Regis were expecting Wapner to make available to them. Before 2018 was halfway through, Wapner found himself repeating to Thorpe what he had been over time and again with Fredericks a year prior to that, telling him to quit stalling and get on with it.
In the summer of 2017, in the immediate aftermath of Fredericks’ sacking, Wapner arranged for the Ontario International Airport Authority to hire three consultants. The first of these was Greg Devereaux, who had been Ontario’s city manager from 1997 until 2010, when he had left to become the chief executive officer of San Bernardino County, a post he held until 2017. The second was Chris Hughes, who had been Ontario’s fire chief while Devereaux was city manager and who had been elevated to city manager following Devereaux’s departure, a position he remained in until his retirement in 2013. The third was Steve Lambert, the one-time publisher and editor of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, the most widely circulating daily newspaper in Ontario and the west end of San Bernardino County who had gone on to found the 20/20 Network, a strategic communications firm specializing in what is described as public relations, media outreach and tailored advocacy. Devereaux, Hughes and Lambert were paid $10,000 less than a quarter of a million dollars per year for the services they were recruited to provide: $20,000 per month. Less than six months later, Paul Haney, who had previously worked for American Airlines and the Lockheed Corporation and had been one of the deputy executive directors with Los Angeles World Airports from 2001 to 2008 while that entity had been overseeing Ontario Airport, was also enlisted by the Ontario International Airport Authority as a consultant on a $20,000 monthly retainer, upon Wapner’s recommendation.
While consultants are traditionally utilized to provide expertise and advice with regard to technology, operations, business and marketing strategy, and utilize technical know-how in specific areas or under specialized circumstances to achieve goals or outcomes, Wapner had not retained Devereaux, Hughes, Lambert and Haney for them to offer him guidance with regard to how the airport should be run or assistance to the airport and airport authority staff with regard to operations but rather to assist him in bring staff into compliance with his directions and objectives. What his go-round with Fredericks had demonstrated to him was that when his instructions to staff, from the executive director down, deviated with standard procedure or conventional rules, staff defaulted to doing things by the book and the way they are traditionally done. Fredericks’ refusal to sell of the idle pieces of ground that real estate speculators and developers were interested in buying was a manifestation of that. What Wapner needed to be able to please his network of political backers and supporters were airport administrators and managers who would do his bidding at his command and without regard to the way things had been done historically. He had staked his political career on Ontario taking control of Ontario Airport and had emerged victorious. He was now laying claim to the spoils that were his as a consequence of that victory, and it was not the place of Fredericks or Thorpe or anyone else to interfere with the exercise of his will. His intent was to utilize Devereaux, Hughes and Haney to ensure that the well-remunerated employees at the airport authority clearly understood what his objectives were and then executed the strategy that had been formulated to achieve those objectives. It was Lambert’s assignment to put the best face possible on that strategy and convince the public at large that not only was the airport in the competent hands of dedicated public servants who had the best interest of the community at heart, but the best policies for efficient and beneficial operation of the airport were being implemented and were succeeding.
Despite the forces that were arrayed against him in 2018, Thorpe remained true to his belief that selling the 198 acres that Wapner was bound and determined that Lee & Associates/Sares Regis purchase would be an epic mistake that contrary to the interest of the airport, its future, the City of Ontario and the whole of San Bernardino County and the Inland Empire.
In an effort to stymie Wapner, Hagman, Bowman, Devereaux, Hughes and Haney, all of whom were after him to move forward with the sale of the 198 acres to Lee & Associates/Sares Regis, Thorpe cited a provision contained in the airline use agreements the airport had with its carriers requiring that non-aeronautical revenues to be split between airport and airlines. This would result in the airport having to surrender half the proceeds, or profit, from those land sales to the airlines, Thorpe asserted. This bought him some time, during which he began looking at the prospect of not selling the property, but rather leasing it. A 25-year lease would encumber the property and render it unusable for aviation purposes for a quarter century. That might preclude expansion of the airport, though not indefinitely. If such a lease could be effectuated and timed correctly, the airport and airport authority might have the best of both worlds, generating income off of the airport’s dormant property, yet preserving the possibility of utilizing the property for airport expansion at some designated point decades hence. Furthermore, revenue derived from a lease arrangement would not be subject to the revenue sharing protocol contained in the airport’s airline use agreements.
Ultimately, Thorpe was able to confound Wapner, Hagman and Bowman when he was able to make a demonstrable showing that Wapner was seeking to shoehorn the airport, the airport authority and the City of Ontario into a disadvantageous financial deal through the acceptance of the offer on the table by Lee & Associates and Sares Regis without considering any other alternatives.
One of those alternatives was so starkly superior, from the standpoint of the city, the airport authority and the airport, that Wapner’s and Hagman’s insistence that Thorpe close the deal with Lee & Associates and Sares Regis was no longer operative. San Antonio, Texas-based USAA Real Estate Company and McDonald Property Group of Newport Beach, having formed a joint venture, began a dialogue with Thorpe in late 2020 regarding property at the airport non-essential to aviation purposes. Over the next several months, those discussions began to center on the Boot, after which the concept of USAA Real Estate/McDonald Property gaining access to the property pursuant to a lease rather than an outright purchase was broached. The numbers being batted about in those discussions dwarfed the $101 million Wapner had been insisting the airport authority had to accept for the 198 acres. Ultimately, when the deal fully shaped up, the airport authority found itself in position to derive more than six times the revenue that was being offered by Sares Regis through Lee & Associates. Under the development and entitlement agreement that was worked out, USAA Real Estate Company and McDonald Property Group, functioning under the corporate guise of CanAm Ontario LLC, the 198 acres were to be leased for 55 years at an overall cost of $625 million. The agreement specified that CanAm Ontario was to make a non-refundable $10 million deposit with the airport authority, after which USAA Real Estate Company/McDonald Property Group, functioning jointly, were given time to obtain local jurisdictional entitlement and environmental approvals to construct buildings and improvements on the property. In the first five years, CanAm Ontario agreed to pay the airport authority $25 million per year and in the second five years, $30 million per year, such that at the end of the first ten years, the airport authority will have received $275 million. Over the remaining 35 years of the lease, CanAm was to pay the authority an average of $10 million per year.
Outmaneuvered, Wapner had no choice but to accept what Thorpe had structured. On December 23, 2021, Wapner joined with Hagman and Bowman and the other two members of the Ontario International Airport Authority Commission, former Riverside Mayor Ron Hagman and former East West Bank president and CEO Julia Gouw in a unanimous vote to authorize the development and entitlement agreement with CanAm Ontario LLC.
Meanwhile, from the outset of Ontario’s reassumption of control over the airport, members of the Ontario community, including residents, a minority of Ontario city and airport authority/airport employees and business owners and operators in Ontario were confronted with elements or manifestations of the airport operation that appeared improper. Immediately apparent was the favoritism in the granting of franchises and concessions at and around the airport and the approval of contracts for the provision of goods and services to the airport itself.
Generally, governmental entities utilize competitive bid processes for the awarding of governmental contracts. Under most, though not necessarily all, circumstances, the contract is awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. A responsive bid is one which the vendor follows all of the specifications in the submission and provides assurance the work or goods sought will be delivered. A responsible bidder is a contractor or vendor who has the proven financial resources and technical capacity to fully perform a public contract and previous experience in doing so. The decision-making body with a governmental entity or agency can make a determination that a bid was not responsive and reject it on that basis. The decision-makers can also reject a bid on the basis that the bidder does not have the resources, equipment or technical capability to perform the tasks at hand. The decision-making body can also bypass a lower bid in favor of a higher bid on the basis that the quality of work to be performed or quality of goods to be provided by the contractor or vendor with the higher bid would be superior to that offered by the lower bidder[s], and this qualitative difference justifies the higher expenditure. Competitive bid processes provide for an open and transparent examination of the governmental decision-making process.
In a substantial number of cases regarding contracts for goods and services at the airport paid for by the Ontario International Airport Authority there was no competitive bid process. The overwhelming number of contractors and service providers and consultants involved in those no-bid contracts were donors of substantial amounts of money to Alan Wapner’s campaign fund.
In addition, there were recurrent reports, backed by evidence and other indicators, that formalized kickback arrangements were in place in which the Ontario mayor and members of the city council were designated to be the recipients of graft/bribes to be provided by service providers at the airport. In this way, taxicab companies servicing the airport, tow companies servicing the airport, heating-ventilation-and-air-conditioning service providers maintaining the ventilation systems at the airport’s terminals, the custodial crews cleaning the terminals, airport offices and their facilities, the groundskeeping contractors maintaining the landscape around the airport, the restaurant and shop owners with concession-operation permits within the terminals were obliged to make payments to a specific member of the council or the mayor, as designated by, presumably, Wapner, as the president of the airport authority board. Those payments, if cash, were supposed to be made silently and secretly or to take the form of an innocent-appearing transaction or in-kind provision of service.
Scattered and relatively infrequent reports regarding what appeared to be amiss at the airport drifted in the first few years of Ontario’s resumption of the aerodrome’s ownership, and were generally made to what were deemed to be the most logical points of authority. When Mayor Paul Leon was approached about such matters, he would beg off, stating the airport was Wapner’s bailiwick. To many, Leon’s response struck them as insincere, as if he actually knew how bad the situation was and the degree to which he and the rest of Ontario officialdom was implicated in it and either did not want to open any cans of worms or simply lacked the fortitude and character face Wapner down. When confronted with issues relating to or questions about the airport, City Manager Scott Ochoa would defer to Thorpe or either of the two of his predecessors as city manager, Hughes and Devereaux, who were, he said, more directly involved with its management. The police department, under Police Chief Tom Hill, Chief Derek Williams and then Chief Michael Lorenz, was no more accommodating of those who expressed concern with regard to issues at the airport. Citizens who approached the department with regard to the airport referenced or utilized such terms as “black hole” and “useless” and “unresponsive” in describing the attitude the police department took toward their complaints or allegations. Some expressed the view that members of the department had no stomach to take on Wapner.
Similarly, the district attorney’s office was reluctant to engage in any critical examination of Wapner or his associates.
In 2016, 2017 and 2018, Mike Ramos was district attorney. Members of the department’s public integrity unit would accept written complaints or listen politely to citizens’ reports of what they had witnessed or observed, but made no realistic follow-up. In June 2018, Jason Anderson, who had been a member of the city council while he was a deputy district attorney from 2004 until 2008 and had taken on the representation of Wapner in the aftermath of his assault on his teenage daughter at the expense of Ontario’s taxpayers as one of his first major cases when he went into private practice in 2014, was elected San Bernardino County District Attorney, and assumed the post in early January 2019. Anderson, who had moved to Upland subsequent to his time on the city council, nevertheless remained a member of the Ontario social and political establishment. An examination of campaign reporting documents that all elected officials in the state are required to complete twice yearly in non-election years and a minimum of six times during election years, known as California Form 460s, show a degree of commonality among the donors to Wapner and Anderson’s respective political war chests. Accordingly, Anderson was reluctant to initiate an investigation, let alone action, against anyone in whose political career an investment had been made by someone who had likewise invested in advancing him as a key public official. 
While suspicion regarding Wapner existed and occasional accusations regarding him surfaced over the course of the first five years that Ontario Airport had been returned to Ontario and while he was the president of the airport authority, the public revelations relating to his efforts to force the sale of the 198 acres of prime airport property to his major campaign donors Sares Regis and Lee & Associates at a fraction of its actual value proved to be a watershed event that caught the attention of anyone tuned into governance in the Inland Empire. Thrown into stark relief was the pay-to-play ethos that gripped the leadership of the airport and that embodied Wapner’s status as a public official. Exposed as well was the manner in which Hagman, Bowman, Loveridge and Gouw had gone along with him in their oversight of the airport and the airport authority. Only slightly less blameworthy, in the public perception, were Wapner’s council colleagues and the mayor, who had stood by idly while he used the power they had conferred upon him by elevating him into the position of the only president/board chairman there had ever been of the airport authority to militate on behalf of his cronies, campaign donors and political supporters to the detriment of the city, its current residents and taxpayers and those who would live in Ontario in the future. Those residents were equally dismayed with the indolence of the city’s top ranking administrators and department heads, together with its police force, who were the highest paid municipal employees in the entire county, who were unwilling to rock the boat, lest Wapner, his council colleagues and the mayor use their authority to separate them from the city and their lucrative positions.
The revelation of what Wapner had done and what he was about inspired some of the minute number of people who had already sought to push the authorities into taking action but who had come up short in that doing so to redouble their efforts. A slightly larger subset of the local population, ones who had also been disturbed by what they had seen but had not been moved to action previously, were motivated to speak out and register their disapproval and outrage. As before, neither the police nor the mayor nor the city council nor city officials were willing to challenge Wapner or hold him to account. Wapner’s attempt to advance the fortunes of a set of his donors who had given him $218,000 – the corporate officers of Lee & Associates and Sares Regis – and in essence provide them with a gift of public funds valued in excess of $300 million had roused dozens of Ontario residents to take a deeper and harder look at Wapner and the way in which he had conducted himself as an elected public official over the course of his quarter of a century in office. Few were pleased with what they discovered. That examination demonstrating that Wapner’s first loyalty was not to the voters who had put him into office but rather to those with business and economic interests that were highly dependent upon action by the city council and who were willing to outright pay money to Wapner to get into or remain in his good grace. Those who had business with the city, from those who were seeking franchises to those who were competing to get municipal contracts for the provision of goods or services to those who were seeking permits doled out at City Hall to land owners, speculators and developers seeking entitlements to build or to obtain approval of projects, were obliged to make donations to his campaign fund. Whereas with the lion’s share of local politicians in San Bernardino County, donations generally top out at a thousand dollars and run-of-the mill donors average a show of generosity toward the candidates they support of $500 or less, among the legion of Wapner’s donors, an offering of $1,000 is barely chump change. He routinely collects donations $2,000, $5,000, $10,000 and on occasion $20,000 and was once provided with

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both NANCY MARIE ALVAREZ: a petition for probate has been filed by MARIA M. ALVAREZ in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN BERNARDINO.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that MARIA M. ALVAREZ be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held March 17, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at
San Bernardino County Superior Court Fontana District
Department F1 – Fontana
17780 Arrow Boulevard
Fontana, CA 92335
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs.
ÓRDENES DE RESTRICCIÓN ESTÁNDAR DE DERECHO FAMILIAR
En forma inmediata, usted y su cónyuge o pareja de hecho tienen prohibido: 1. llevarse del estado de California a los hijos menores de las partes, o solicitar un pasaporte nuevo o de repuesto para los hijos menores, sin el consentimiento previo por escrito de la otra parte o sin una orden de la corte; 2. cobrar, pedir prestado, cancelar, transferir, deshacerse o cambiar el nombre de los beneficiarios de cualquier seguro u otro tipo de cobertura, como de vida, salud, vehículo y discapacidad, que tenga como beneficiario(s) a las partes y su(s) hijo(s) menor(es); 3. transferir, gravar, hipotecar, ocultar o deshacerse de cualquier manera de cualquier propiedad, inmueble o personal, ya sea comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o separada, sin el consentimiento escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte, excepto en el curso habitual de actividades personales y comerciales o para satisfacer las necesidades de la vida; y 4. crear o modificar una transferencia no testamentaria de manera que afecte la asignación de una propiedad sujeta a transferencia, sin el consentimiento por escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte. Antes de que se pueda eliminar la revocación de una transferencia no testamentaria, se debe presentar ante la corte un aviso del cambio y hacer una entrega legal de dicho aviso a la otra parte. Cada parte tiene que notificar a la otra sobre cualquier gasto extraordinario propuesto por lo menos cinco días hábiles antes de realizarlo, y rendir cuenta a la corte de todos los gastos extraordinarios realizados después de que estas órdenes de restricción hayan entrado en vigencia. No obstante, puede usar propiedad comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o suya separada para pagar a un abogado que lo ayude o para pagar los costos de la corte.

WARNING—IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.
ADVERTENCIA—IMFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas por las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para fines de la división de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolución o separación legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedará determinado por las cláusulas de la escritura correspondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej., tenencia conjunta, tenencia en común o propiedad comunitaria) y no por la presunción de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presunción comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debería consultar con un abogado.

A three-judge panel in the Fourth Appellate District in California’s Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of San Bernardino County in American Medical Response’s contesting of the board of supervisors’ 2023 decision to end what was that ambulance company’s three-decade-long virtual monopoly on emergency transportation in the 20,105-square mile county.
The question has now become whether American Medical Response, known by its acronym and logo AMR, will roll the dice on a further appeal to the California Supreme Court.
Throughout the first six decades and well into the seventh decade of the 20th Century, competition among ambulance companies was wide open, with different providers of emergency medical transport service operating whenever and wherever they could. By the 1940s, ambulance company owners were utilizing their access to police and fire dispatch frequencies to send their vehicles to the scenes of accidents, mayhem or medical emergencies, alerted by the communications between fire stations and firefighters or police and sheriff’s stations and officers patrolling in the field. Generally speaking, those who arrived first gathered the prize of delivering the injured party to the hospital, collecting a fee for doing so.
The owners and operators of the ambulance companies sought to locate their stations and garages or to position their ambulances during the day and night at positions that would give them an advantage at arriving first at those places where they were most needed, beating the competition. Throughout the 1950s, 1960s and into the 1970s, there were thousands of incidents where one ambulance crew working of one company or another would be traveling full tilt in one direction to get to an accident or medical emergency and would pass another ambulance owned by another company going in the opposite direction to get to a different person in need of medical assistance.
