By Montecito Journal   |   December 16, 2025

Trespassing / Eucalyptus Lane / Humphrey Road, Montecito — Monday, November 24, at 14:04 hours

Deputies contacted subject for trespassing on railroad property. Subject had been previously contacted on railroad property 11/22/25 by Sgt. Sandu and Senior Deputy Brady, who at that time gave him a warning. Subject’s blatant disregard for the law – about whose particulars he’d been pointedly warned in the 11/22 violation – resulted in his arrest and booking at SBJ. 

Sexual Assault / 1700 block Jameson Lane — Tuesday, November 25, at 03:25 hours

SBCH nurse reported that a patient came in for treatment to do with a possible sexual assault that occurred on 11/11. The associated Suspicious Injury Report detailed a friend having informed the patient that they’d told an unknown male to have sex with her while she was blackout drunk. The patient did not want to speak with law enforcement. Nurse was reporting the incident as a legally
mandated reporter. 

Fentanyl/Meth / 1200 block Channel Drive — Wednesday, November 26, at 01:09 hours

Deputies contacted subject who was slumped over the steering wheel of his vehicle, which was parked in a red zone at Butterfly Beach. Narcotics and paraphernalia were visible in the passenger seat. A probable cause search of the vehicle revealed fentanyl, methamphetamine and more paraphernalia. Subject was arrested and his illegally parked vehicle was towed. 

Mental Health Crisis / 1400 block South Jameson — Friday, November 28, at 20:17 hours

Deputies responded to a family disturbance where the subject broke several items inside their parents’ house. Subject was experiencing a mental health crisis and was put on involuntary mental health hold. Subject locked themselves in the bathroom and refused to come out. Deputies ultimately had to force entry into the bathroom by unscrewing the door to disable the lock. Subject did not want to go with AMR and was ultimately carried to the gurney and secured
with soft restraints. 

Death / 300 Cabrillo Blvd — Saturday, November 29, at 7:10 hours

Due to staffing shortage, 35 units assisted with this coroner’s investigation on the Carpinteria side of the SB City split. A passerby called 9-1-1 to report a man down. Fire/Medics arrived and began advanced life saving measures, which were unsuccessful. The subject was a local transient with whom SBPD Officers were familiar.
