Former San Ramon police officer Louis Lombardi was taken into federal custody Thursday after pleading guilty to nine felonies for his role in the corruption probe involving the Central Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Team.
Sentencing was scheduled for April 18.
CNET, an elite vice squad funded by the Department of Justice and manned by officers from Contra Costa police agencies, was suspended in February when its commander, Norman Wielsch, and private investigator Christopher Butler were arrested on suspicion of selling stolen drug evidence.
The scandal expanded to include the arrests of Lombardi and Danville officer Stephen Tanabe and further allegations of officers operating a brothel, and setting up men for drunken driving arrests to be used as leverage in family law cases.

People in the courtroom Thursday were shocked to hear a police officer who has been in law enforcement for 20 years admit he took part in several serious crimes that spanned several years. 
In court, Lombardi described stealing money and other items during search warrants, using Narcotic Enforcement Team (CNET) money to buy a stolen firearm from an informant, selling drugs back to an informant from whom he seized it from, and taking two guns he logged as being destroyed. He also admitted to planning to open a illegal marijuana grow house with the intent to sell the pot to a contact in Arizona. He said most of his crimes were done with the help of police officer Norman Wielsch and a private investigator named Christopher Butler.
Federal prosecutors said Lombardi stole $40,000 worth of goods during searches of homes and massage parlors.

SANTA CRUZ – Santa Cruz police arrested a 35-year-old woman on a warrant for misdemeanor prostitution out of Los Angeles after responding to reports of a domestic dispute.
A caller told police that someone else had spotted a woman chasing a man with a knife outside an apartment complex on Felix Street on Tuesday afternoon, according to police spokesman Zach Friend.
Officers arrived and didn’t see anyone chasing anyone else with a knife, but they made contact with a woman there, Jill Pemberton. Pemberton told them she had been in a fight with her boyfriend but had not been chasing him with a knife.
After talking with her further, police determined she was wanted on a warrant in Los Angeles. She was booked into County Jail on the warrant.

… When I try to find places on Google Maps, it keeps giving me directions to cat houses and massage parlors and strip clubs. I use Adsense on my blog. But now, all the ads are for penis pills, inflatable sex dolls and Dustin Diamond movies. The Google SS guy who follows me around is constantly trying to solicit prostitutes with weird fetishes for me. Keeps saying it’s a good match based on my frequent searches for ‘football.’ Then there’s what happened this morning. I wanted to read about how Rick Santorum was doing against Gingrich and Romney. But Google won’t pull up those results. Instead, it pesters me with, ‘Did you mean anal lubricant and new gang rape mitts?’ I sell landscaping tools. Just guess what Google suggests when I try to find a deal on hoes or seed sacks. Yeah, it’s ridiculous, but at least I don’t have Yahoo employees outside my house begging for change or Facebook’s Timeline.”

Floral Park residents can bet their bottom dollar that Mayor Thomas J. Tweedy and the Board of Trustees are not vying for a casino at Belmont Park. In his Mayor’s Message dated Jan. 9, Mayor Tweedy wrote, “I have worked diligently as mayor to avoid having a casino at Belmont Park, and that remains a top priority for this new year of 2012.” He reiterated that proclamation at the Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 17, which came on the heels of a Stop the Belmont Casino community meeting initiated by concerned residents the week before.
“I want to thank all of you for your support and for your efforts,” Mayor Tweedy said before opening up the floor to residents.
“Why do we need another casino built, while others are struggling for financial survival?” asked a Carnation Avenue resident, who suggested that the majority of Nassau County residents who live in the area around the proposed casino are against it. He also expressed concern over the negative social implications a casino in Floral Park’s backyard would bring, namely “exposing the local school children to alcoholism, gambling and prostitution.”

In “Norm Wielsch: On the Record,” Peter Crooks interviews the former commander of CNET (the Central Conta Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team), who was arrested in February 2011 on a raft of charges involving the attempted sale of police confiscated methamphetamine and marijuana, “dirty DUI” charges and running a brothel.
Wielsch agreed to the interview as long as he had a chance to apologize to police officers, the California Department of Justice and “all citizens that trusted me with my position. I violated their trust.”
Wielsch, 50, went to College Park High School in Pleasant Hill. His dad ran an auto repair shop in Walnut Creek.
In the interview, Wielsch denied profiting from the Pleasant Hill brothel. He tells the story of how for many years he has been depressed for many reasons, including coping with his daughter’s battle with aplastic anemia.

Culpin recalled her acquaintance with “Doc” Little who was a charter member of the Fremont-Custer Historical Society and former editor of the Daily Record newspaper.
“I extend my gratitude to you and to “Doc” Little,” she said. “He was a joy to know.”
“I think I just really needed a place to put all my junk so my kids could have it,” Culpin said of her establishment of the WHGHS and its housing at the Wetmore Post Office building. “So we have a repository.”
Following the presentation, eight members of Spirits From the Past presented living-history dialogue as they spoke to the gathering with first-person accounts of their historical lives. From librarian, banker and paleontologist, to adventurer, business woman, school teacher, preacher’s wife, and brothel owner, presenters in period attire shared a glimpse of what Fremont and Custer counties were like in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

… The sexual exploitation of young Americans needs to stop now, not tomorrow or next year when another 100,000 adolescents are forced by pimps to sell their bodies multiple times each night,” Speier said in her statement.
“It’s time to get the pimps in jail and the girls off the street,” she said. “We are doing this in California and it’s time for the rest of the nation to follow suit.”
…
“In fact, a pimp selling just four children can earn more than $600,000 per year. What does it say about our country when a person is more likely to serve time for selling marijuana than a 14 year old girl? I want to help solve this problem.”
…
“Already, several victims have been recovered, pimps arrested, and one case is being prosecuted federally,” Speier said.

And the new rules aren’t solely aimed at preventing prostitution, according to Assistant City Attorney Donald Larkin.
“It’s also a consumer protection ordinance,” he said.
Cullen agreed.
“We want to make sure they are legitimate businesses that are complying with health and safety regulations,” he said.
An exemption for Happy Feet isn’t out of the question. In fact, city officials plan to address that possibility when the city council’s Policy and Services Committee reviews the proposed ordinance on Feb. 14. Ultimately, it will be up to elected officials to decide whether one is warranted.
…
“Honestly, I don’t have any argument with cities wanting to adopt these new regulations because you read articles all the time about this or that place being busted for prostitution,” he said. “But these new regulations shouldn’t apply to us. We’re a different kind of practice.”
