Bomb squad called after bicyclist stopped
Fleeing subject allegedly threw explosives, syringes

A bicyclist stopped by police on Garfield Lane ended up causing quite a commotion, bringing dozens of police officers and the county bomb squad to the scene.

It took a foot pursuit, a scuffle and a dose of pepper spray to take Shane Michael Newhouse, 30, of Napa into custody.

The chain of events started around 8 p.m., Monday, when a sheriff's deputy spotted Newhouse riding his bicycle without the proper lights for riding at night, sheriff's Capt. Mike Loughran said.

As the deputy drove by Newhouse, he recognized him from prior contacts, he said.

When the deputy stopped Newhouse, he became irate and aggressive and appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Loughran said. "He got off the bike, then attempted to get on it like he was going to leave, jumped off again and pushed it toward the deputy. He ran away down an alley off Garfield Lane."

The deputy took off after Newhouse, who was throwing things on the ground as he ran, Loughran said.

When the deputy finally caught up with Newhouse, he ordered him to the ground, he said. "Newhouse refused and hit the deputy in the head with his fists."

Back-up units arrived, and after a dousing of pepper spray, Newhouse was taken into custody.

He was taken to Queen of the Valley Hospital, where he was treated and released to the custody of the sheriff's department, Loughran said.

The deputy suffered cuts and bruises and was treated at the Queen and released, Loughran said.

Meanwhile, other deputies and police searched the alley looking for the items Newhouse discarded as he jogged down the pavement.

In addition to finding several syringes, a crank smoking pipe and a .40-caliber Winchester rifle bullet, they also found an old military smoke grenade, Loughran said.

"It burns hot when activated. It would have torched the field if he had thrown it into the dry grass," Loughran said.

The Napa County Hazardous Device Disposal Team was called to detonate the explosive.

The area was cordoned off with yellow tape, and one family, who lives nearby, was evacuated, Loughran said.

The grenade was detonated, and the family was allowed to return to their home around 10 p.m.

Other than the deputy, no one was hurt.

Newhouse was arrested on suspicion of felony battery upon a peace officer, being a felon in possession of ammunition, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia and violation of probation.

Vintage High students avoid school after graffiti threat

Concerned and frightened parents kept their children home from Vintage High School on Tuesday, following a graffiti threat sprayed in the quad over the weekend, stating "Everyone will die 10/21/03."

About 30 percent of the student body did not attend school on Tuesday, according to school officials.

An anxious staff, along with police, searched the campus thoroughly Monday and found nothing, Vintage High School Principal Eric Schneider said.

"We talked to teachers, asking them if they had heard any talk from the students ... anything unusual that might give us a clue. We came up with absolutely nothing. At that point, we felt comfortable holding classes today," Schneider said.

Other than many empty desks, classes went on without a hitch on Tuesday, but some students, like senior Lindsey Cooper, took the threat seriously.

"It may just be a threat, but it has happened at other schools," Cooper, 17, said. "I just felt safer staying at home today."

Classmate Oorena Rameriz, also a senior, attended school on Tuesday.

"I just felt it most likely was a prank. So, I went to school today. But, I was being very aware of things going on around me," Rameriz said. "I didn't feel real threatened ... maybe just a little."

On Monday, the school sent out an automatic voice mail to every parent informing them of the graffiti. The phone message also reassured parents the school, along with police, had made every effort to make sure students would be safe if they attended school Tuesday.

"We had many, many calls from parents. Staff was here until 7 p.m., Monday fielding calls. The parents were very worried. We didn't try to convince them to send their children to school, but just assured them we felt the school was safe, and if we didn't, we would not hold school," Schneider said.

He added the teachers handled the discussions about the threats with their students.

"They focused on making sure the students felt safe and were free to share their fears," he said. "In these days, we have to teach students to deal with moments of adversity."

The graffiti threat was discovered on the little theater building by school maintenance staff on Saturday. School district staff were called in immediately to paint over the message. The city graffiti abatement crew arrived on Monday and removed the spray paint.

Napa police officers were out in full force at the school Tuesday morning, Sgt. Gil Gallegos said.

Officers were at the school early, checking out buildings, lockers and looking for anything suspicious or out of the ordinary, Gallegos said. "We also had a K-9 sniffing for explosives. Once we determined it was safe, we began scaling down."

Gallegos said there were rumors that "10/21/03" was picked because it was the anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings in Colorado in which two students shot and killed 12 classmates and a teacher, before committing suicide.

The Columbine shooting happened on April 20, 1999, not October, he said. "That also helped give us less credence to the threats."

Schneider said the school has been a victim of graffiti in the past.

"But this time, it's pretty threatening. Before it has been tagging or dispute between individuals," he said. "I will be very concerned if this becomes a pattern. But I'm glad to report, as of now, that's not the case."

Students respond to graffiti threat

From nonchalance to anxiety, Vintage High School students reacted differently to threats that were spray-painted on campus over the weekend.

The message, "Everyone will die 10/21/03," appeared on the theater building in the quad, but was painted over by Monday and removed by Tuesday.

School administrators conducted an internal investigation Monday, concluding that the threat did not warrant canceling classes.

"I thought it was a joke," said Yadira Gallegos, a freshman, adding that she chose to come to school primarily because she wanted to meet the strict attendance rules for her new driver's education class. She said some teachers closed and locked classroom doors to make students feel safer.

Another student, freshman Gabe Gonzalez, said he believed the threat. "Why would someone write that if they weren't going to do something?"

Gallegos and Gonzalez were among the roughly 70 percent of students who attended school Tuesday, though several said they had considered staying home. Brian Marchus, a counselor, said 99 percent of the teaching staff showed up Tuesday.

Nearly every student interviewed had discussed the matter with their parents, weighing the pros and cons of skipping school for the day.

"I wasn't going to come to school but my dad said I had to," said Sophomore Vivaldo Ceballos, Jr. "I was a little scared."

Most parents received a schoolwide phone message from Principal Eric Schneider Monday night. In the message, he assured parents that extra safety precautions would be taken Tuesday, including additional police support on campus.

Some students tapped into their religious beliefs to deal with the threats, including freshman Kaylee Cocke, who said she prayed with a friend's mom before going to school.

"I wasn't really scared. I was more nervous," Cocke said. "Having the police here made me feel safer."

Students said up to five police cars were parked around campus during the day. Normally, one police officer is at the school.

Several students said it's impossible to know when tragedy will strike so they chose to attend school.

"If it's going to happen, it's going to happen. You can't be scared every day," Gallegos said.

Students and staff reported a fairly normal day at Vintage, but noted that more students than normal were absent Tuesday and more parents than usual called the front office during the day to ask questions.

"In all of my classes, at least half of the students were gone," said Christina Pella, a sophomore. "I think a lot of them were like, 'hey, it's a good way to get out of school.'"

Some people expressed such cynicism about the threat, but said they had to react with extra precautions anyway.

"The threat is taken seriously, but I don't think any of us felt intimidated because appropriate steps had been taken to calm fears," said Kelin Backman, an English teacher.

It ain't normal in any town. Even in New York where I Live, due to 9/11, a simple bomb threat is hittin front pages know what I mean. I think too much fear is in people and they overreact but this still is freaky.
