Police arrest father and son on felony charges after officer assaulted during Lakeport bar check
LAKEPORT, Calif. – Police have arrested a father and son alleged to have assaulted a police officer early Sunday morning during a downtown bar check.
Roman Hanson Rose, 24, and Michael Dale Rose, 51, both of Lakeport, were arrested on felony charges, according to Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen.
Roman Rose was booked for resisting an officer with force and violence, battery on a peace officer with injury, fighting in a public place, threatening or attempting to prevent a peace officer from performing his duties and escape from custody, Rasmussen said.
Rasmussen said Michael Rose was arrested for resisting an officer with force and violence, battery on a peace officer causing injury and battery.
At approximately 12:16 a.m. Sunday a Lakeport Police officer, accompanied by a ridealong, entered TJ’s Downtown Bar and Grill, located at 370 S. Main St., to conduct a bar check, Rasmussen said. The officer observed approximately 100 customers in the bar at the time.
During the bar check a male subject, later identified as Roman Rose, grabbed the back of the officer’s duty belt. Rasmussen said the officer turned around and contacted Rose, who immediately became verbally abusive and threatened to assault the officer. Roman Rose also was showing signs of intoxication.
The officer called for backup and continued to observe Rose while waiting for the backup unit. Rasmussen said a second Lakeport Police officer arrived a few minutes later.
Both officers then approached Rose and asked him to step outside due to his hostile behavior. Rasmussen said Rose refused and continued to be verbally abusive, hostile and threatening toward the officers and used both hands to push the initial officer.
The officers attempted to take control of Rose and he violently resisted and the second officer used a Taser to control him so he could be handcuffed, Rasmussen said.
While being taken outside to a patrol car, Rose escaped from an officer and ran across S. Main Street before being detained again, according to Rasmussen.
During the arrest of Rose a second male subject – later identified as his father, Michael Rose – came to his aid, interfering with the arrest and also assaulting the initial officer by grabbing him around the neck and attempting to place a “choke” hold on him, Rasmussen said.
During the incident, Michael Rose also assaulted the ridealong, who was not injured. Rasmussen said the initial officer received minor injuries as a result of the assault and resistance from both of the Roses.
The second officer, with the assistance of the ridealong and three bar customers, was able to take Michael Rose into custody, Rasmussen said.
During the incident other bar customers were becoming hostile towards the police officers who also requested emergency backup from allied law enforcement agencies, according to Rasmussen.
Six Lake County Sheriff’s Office units and two California Highway Patrol Officers responded and arrived at the scene to assist a short time after the call. Rasmussen said the Clearlake Police Department also responded a unit but they were canceled while en-route after on-scene officers determined no additional resources were needed.
Both Roman Rose and Michael Rose received minor injuries during the incident and were transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital for medical clearance prior to booking, Rasmussen said.
Sacramento man suffers major injuries in Thursday crash with local sheriff’s deputy
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Sacramento man suffered major injuries on Thursday when his car was hit head-on by a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy who lost control of his patrol vehicle.
The California Highway Patrol said 28-year-old Marc Loberg and Deputy Richard Kreutzer were injured in the crash, which occurred at approximately 10:32 a.m. east of Lucerne.
The CHP said Kreutzer was driving his patrol vehicle – a Ford Crown Victoria – westbound west of Bruner Drive at approximately 30 miles per hour while on routine patrol.
Kreutzer was following a tractor trailer that ended up pulling over to let westbound traffic pass, the CHP said.
After the big rig pulled over, Kreutzer began to pass it to the left, and as he turned his patrol vehicle to the right – toward his original lane position – he lost control of his vehicle, according to the CHP report.
Kreutzer turned his vehicle back to the left in an attempt to regain control of the patrol vehicle. However, the CHP said the deputy's vehicle continued traveling out of control and crossed the double yellow lines.
The CHP said Kreutzer collided head-on with Loberg, who was driving a 2002 Honda Accord eastbound at 55 miles per hour.
Kreutzer's and Loberg's vehicles came to rest in the lanes of the highway, which was closed for approximately 55 minutes, the CHP said.
Loberg suffered major injuries, including a broken left arm, and complaints of pain to his hip, chest and ankle, the CHP said. Kreutzer had a minor injury in the form of a laceration to his forehead.
Northshore Fire Protection District personnel originally had requested two air ambulances come to the scene to transport the men. However, it later was decided to transport them by ground ambulance to Sutter Lakeside Hospital, according to radio reports.
The CHP said both Loberg and Kreutzer were wearing their seat belts.

Clearlake Police Department plans Sept. 19 'tip-a-cop' fundraiser
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Main Street Bar & Grill will host a “tip-a-cop” fundraiser event to benefit the Clearlake Police Department this Friday.
The event will take place starting at 10 a.m. at the restaurant, located at 14084 Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake.
The proceeds will go to the Clearlake Police Department to help fund body cameras for the officers, according to Sgt. Rodd Joseph.
Joseph said body cameras are becoming an essential tool in today’s law enforcement. The body cameras will help assure quality service, will help document evidence of crime, will help in the reduction of officer complaints and will help build and maintain public trust.
Sam Polo, the owner of Main Street Bar & Grill, along with another unnamed community member already have donated nearly $13,000 to the police department for the purchase of the body cameras and to cover the cost of maintaining the video pursuant to state law for a period of one year, Joseph said.
Joseph said this week's tip-a-cop event should raise enough money to be able to fully outfit the entire patrol staff with body cameras and help pay the maintenance costs.
Corvette raffle raises nearly $10,000 for police body cameras
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Linda Rouland of Chester held the winning ticket drawn on Sept. 11 in a charity raffle of a 1978 silver anniversary edition Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
Sam Polo, who donated the classic car, presented Clearlake Police Chief Craig Clausen with the proceeds of the raffle, putting Clearlake officers $9,800 closer to being outfitted with body cameras.
A total of 100 tickets were made available in the raffle, priced at $100 apiece.
Bob Kiel, of the Lakeshore Lions Club, which assisted with ticket sales, said people from all over – including from Oregon – bought tickets.
“We should have sold 150 tickets,” Kiel said.
Polo, who owns Main Street Bar & Grill, is a longtime community contributor, especially to law enforcement, hosting Tip-A-Cop events and other fundraisers.
He said he bought the car from a retired highway patrol officer and decided he wanted to use it in a fundraiser.
“(Body cameras) really work best for the police officer and the public,” Polo told Lake County News. “It makes people think twice about what they are doing. It helps prevent liability suites against city and it increases the safety of the officer.”
Polo threw in a surprise second place prize at the time of the drawing, which took place before the Clearlake City Council on Sept. 11.
That additional prize – a vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico – went to Frank Willis of Clearlake.
Winning tickets were drawn by Mayor Denise Loustalot with the assistance of Lakeshore Lions Club members.
