SHOTS FIRED IN ARGUMENT AT JUNK YARD
PITTSBURG - A man was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm after he argued with the owner of a salvage yard, said police Lt. William Zbacnik.
At about 9 a.m. Tuesday, Joseph Buggs, 28, of Concord, went to JM Enterprizes at 1215 Willow Pass Rd., to return several axles he had bought. While the owner, James Molino, 48, was fixing the axles, Buggs insisted on having his money back.
An argument ensued, and Buggs approached the owner to
Sounds like James Molino had one really angry customer (sorry, this is all I can find of the article unless you pay for it)
Looks like the Molinos were married just a bout a month before this.
Hmmm, wonder if this was the reason jim needed a weaon to "protect his junk yard", thereby causing him to violate his parole?
You know, this is a HUGE parole violation. Wonder if he gor any punishment for it??

SHOTS FIRED IN ARGUMENT AT JUNK YARD
Ledger Dispatch (CA) - Wednesday, December 10, 1997Molino pulled a .44 Magnum handgun to protect himself but decided to put it on the counter to try and talk things out, Zbacnik said.
Buggs grabbed the gun and fired two shots inside the business, Zbacnik said. Molino said Buggs fired the bullets on both sides of him. Another witness said Buggs fired one bullet to the side of Molino and several into the air. Buggs left and shot into the air.
Another customer grabbed another gun owned by Molino, a .357 Magnum, and fired a round into Buggs' car tire to prevent him from leaving.
This was the only other thing I could find on the Molinos or the wrecking yard besides the usual stuff we already know. I did find the record of their marriage in the paper. Jim Molino is just 2 years older than Garrido, is it possible they went to high school together?
BRADFORD CLEANUP BEGINS

Snipped:
BRADFORD ISLAND A rusted Pinto with no doors or windows, a Volkswagen bug with a psychedelic paint job and a dented milk delivery truck each had a different journey to this secluded Delta island.
But now they're among the 136 junked cars awaiting the same fate: To be stripped, flattened and carted off to a metal scrap yard.
Abandoned and left to rust and rot into the earth, these inoperable cars are getting a big push off the island from the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department.
In July, the department started removing cars by tagging about 200 vehicles and then trying to find the owners. Haney said owners had the chance to deal with the inoperable vehicles themselves. Meanwhile, the county had to cut through a mountain of red tape in order to dispose of the majority that went unclaimed.
"It's just been a horrendous job," said Lt. Christine Dean.
The sheriff's office hauled out some vehicles from underground burial spots and pulled others out of levees and from dense thickets of bramble and other vegetation, Dean said. The sheriff's office also flew overhead in helicopters trying to spot old cars that had all but blended into the grasslands.

Pittsburg upholds decision to scrap salvage yard's permit
"Despite recent efforts by an embattled Pittsburg auto wrecker to reverse a history of environmental violations, city leaders this week agreed to shut down the salvage yard.
The Pittsburg Planning Commission revoked JM Enterprises' use permit in late August. The City Council's vote this week upholding the decision means JM cannot sell auto parts to customers or crush cars
Though JM's property was annexed into Pittsburg in 1991, the city had no record of a use permit for the business until it was discovered by Pittsburg when annexing a neighboring property last November. JM remains out of city compliance with eight aspects of the recently discovered permit, but that number had been 14 in November "
I cant imagine that someone in the city of Pittsburg didnt know he wasnt paying any city taxes or permits! JM would have provided considerable needed revenue to Pittsburg. Just wondering if someone(s) was covering for him.
Cheyvonne sure shut up about her friendship with PG. At first she was in front of nearly every camera then after the raids she became invisible - almost questionably invisible. Neither Nightline nor TLC mentioned a word about her when interviewing PGs acquaintances. And she said she was his ONLY friend. Maybe she was drawing too much attention to the Sheriffs Department and running the risk of exposing someone/something??? Shes not the type to be easily scared off thats for sure.

Supposedly she received a death threat.

I don't buy it though. She knows waaaay more than she's telling.
Come on, do you have to argue with EVERY post! I didn't say she cared.
i wasnt arguing with it i was just giving a diffrent opinion.
That's right, I forgot. So who would threaten her? Obviously someone with something to lose by her talking.
