Second man in assault turns self in
Martin Jackson, wanted for punching a man in the head during an
altercation outside of a Laguna restaurant, turned himself in to
police on Monday.
Jackson, 23, of Lake Forest, was driven to the police station by
his father at about 12:30 p.m. and was arrested on suspicion of
assault with a deadly weapon. Sgt. Darin Lenyi said a detective
convinced Jackson to surrender after a telephone conversation.
On June 19, Benjamin Tomkinson, 18, of Laguna Beach, was
reportedly attacked by Jackson and Shawheen Shafizadeh, 20, of Laguna
Niguel, who was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder for
allegedly kicking Tomkinson in the head. Shafizadeh was arrested
shortly after the attack, which happened outside of the Royal
Hawaiian on North Coast Highway.
Vendors caught selling alcohol to minors
Police worked with state authorities in an undercover operation
set up to catch people selling alcohol to minors on Friday.
Laguna detectives and officers with the state Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control worked with two 18-year-old volunteers who
served as decoys. The decoys were not allowed to lie about their age
or use fake ID’s Sgt. Darin Lenyi said.
The decoys went to 23 stores and restaurants that sell alcohol,
and misdemeanor citations for selling alcohol to a minor were given
to six people. Adolfo Vides, 69, of Laguna Beach, Jon Solovy, 19, of
Laguna Woods, Dani Inman, 32, of San Clemente, Cory Lohman, 30, of
San Diego, Guillermo Perez, 23, of Laguna Niguel and Luis Blanco Jr.,
29, of Laguna Beach all received citations.
