Deputies searching home of Orange Cove mayor's son

Full story: www.fresnobee.com

-------------------- Photo by Eldon Thompson ----------------->> Published online on Wednesday, Nov. 04, 2009 By Chris Collins / The Fresno Bee Fresno County sheriff's deputies this morning were searching the home of Victor Lopez Jr., the son of Orange Cove Mayor Victor Lopez, the Sheriff's Office said today. Sheriff's spokesman Chris Curtice would not say why the deputies were searching the home. He said he will release more information later today. Selma Police Chief Myron Dyck said that the Sheriff's Office borrowed a narcotics-sniffing dog from his department for the search. Curtice said deputies were searching both Victor Lopez Jr.'s home at 1070 Eighth Street in Orange Cove and another home on the 900 block of Eighth St. Mayor Lopez said the deputies are searching the house because of a miscommunication over who owned some property in his son's home. He said that his brother, Miguel Lopez, had left two security systems in Victor Lopez Jr.'s home that belonged to a South Korean company. The mayor said Miguel Lopez had intended to pick up the equipment later and ship it to the company. SOURCE ..

Mr. Thompson is up to his dirty business again. He must really hate the Mayor with a passion. It seem like Eldon thrives on everything bad that happens to our Mayor Victor Lopez. I’m sure everyone saw old Eldon Thompson on the news happy as can be, because of what happen to Mr. Lopez’s son. He got interviewed by different news stations; he was talking up a storm like if he knew Mr. Lopez and his family. I heard old Eldon was out there taking pictures across the street. And later on bragging about the whole incident. I do not understand how the people of Orange Cove voted for this man (Eldon Thompson) for our “Orange Cove Police Protection Board” this man is a prejudice hateful man. Just go back and read all of his postings. The news has blown all of this out of proportion. But you all have to know why. I really believe it’s because of his Mexican heritage. Mr. Lopez has done many great things for our community. And is here to help anyone who needs it. And if he can’t get the help from Orange Cove, he will go and look for it. He’s an honest and caring man and would give the shirt off his back to help. It’s too bad there a lot of haters in our town, and don’t realize all the good he’s done. Mr. Lopez’s son hopefully will be cleared. Who knows what’s going to happen. I would like to ask a question to all of you who read these comments. To all of you who have children over the age of 20 are you responsible for their actions. I know many people in this town who have children over the age of 20 who are into drugs and gangs and are thieves. Should your names be plastered all over the news? For what your children do. Is it your fault for what they do? No of course not, we as parents do our best to raise good children, and sometimes it doesn’t work out. Now I’m not saying Mr. Lopez’s children are bad, not at all. But everyone makes mistakes in life and they do change. This incident with Mr. Lopez’s son is all a big mistake, but time will tell.
So Mr. Thompson I will never be able to respect a man like you who spreads so much hate. If you’re going to be on this board you need to change your ways, and keep your mouth shut!

Interesting dialogue "Theresa" ... your implied support and extolling the virtues of Victor Lopez (the daddy) is admirable.

~~~

"Mr. Thompson is up to his dirty business again."

I was sitting in a cafe downtown drinking coffee when some people came in and were excitedly talking about Police and Sheriff's cars at Victor Jr's house.

It sounded interesting, I reacted and headed west, and started taking pictures upon arrival at the residence where the Sheriff, M.A.G.E.C., et. al., where I learned later, were serving search warrant(s) at the Lopez residence.

The raid started about 08:00 and I did not arrive until about 09:15. Our local newspaper had already been there and departed before my arrival.

So, "Theresa", how does that become "his [Thompson] dirty business"???

~~~

I posted the following elsewhere on this Forum in response another of your posts;

~~~
"Theresa" is sorta correct "ledesma" ... let's be PC here ... Victor Lopez JR was arrested for and was in jail for less than 24 hours, for;

[] ALLEGEDLY using/selling/distributing DRUGS,

[] ALLEGEDLY holding/selling STOLEN PROPERTY,

[] ALLEGEDLY embezzling from the City of ORANGE COVE

[] ALLEGEDLY committing IDENTITY THEFT

[] ALLEGEDLY in violation of whatever else they (Sheriff and M.A.G.E.C. and the DRUG SNIFFING K-9) found while executing the two search warrants.

Just because three people were handcuffed and questioned in the front yard of VICTOR LOPEZ JR's residence, that he "rents" from his daddy's friend PAUL RODRIGUEZ, does not automatically make him or anyone else that resides in the residence, GUILTY.

He will ONCE AGAIN have his day in COURT to defend against charges, when and if the Sheriff, District Attorney, et. al., choose to file.

That’s one of the many things GREAT about AMERICA … equal opportunity and shared responsibility.

Mr. Thompson now that you are on this OCPD Board, you now represent all Orange Cove People. I think you should be fair and honest. Here on this Topix you are the only one who posts all these pictures and all the negative comments on Mr. Lopez. It looks like you get so much pleasure out of all of this. Why do you have to be so mordant on what you write of the Lopez family? You almost sound like a child. Try to be a fair man and don’t pass judgment on the Lopez family. Especially now, that you’re on this board.

Very well said! Riddla if only the old bastard would listen.
Eldon is the definition of ignorance. And mark my word some day he will fall just like Humpty Dumpty give it time folks and all the skeletons in his closet will come out. Eldon you do know what i'm talking about, don’t you. There’s a little investigation going on by Mcgruff the crime dog. To be continued folks at a later date.

Bit of an oxymoron don't you think? It's a public message board (emphasis on public) yet you tell Mr. Thompson that if he's going to be on here, he needs to change his ways or keep his mouth shut! Huh? Is it just me or do supporters of the Lopez family always resort to childish insults? Case in point: "someday he will fall just like humpty dumpty" who talks like that? McGruff the crime dog? What are we? In the 70's? I feel like I'm watching an episode of Baretta or Kojak! Geez, educate yourself or drag your butts into the new millenium and then, maybe then, you may be able to make a rational argument! Right now you just sound comical...oh well, if anything, you were entertaining! Can't wait to see what ridiculous response you post next. Oh, and stop with the multiple posts under different names...that is unless you suffer from multiple personality disorder..in which case I forgive you

For your information the articles that were found at his residence did not belong to the city. If you know so much, name the things you claim that were taken from the city. Nothing is in the hands of the sheriff's dept. So come on crime stopper prove the accusations on Mr. Lopez and his son. You make huge accusations but you don’t back up your lies.

Hmmm, yes they did belong to the city "shilo" (there are some perks in being married to a cop)! Do you have a television? Did you see them carting away the property? Lord, you are clueless. I guess you think that the people on here are the ones who turned him in, right (Based on your comment that he doesn't back up his lies) Two month investigation....YOU make a ridiculous argument, that makes no sense. Jesus, is all the Lopez family this unintelligent? Stop breeding for christ's sake!

I am so glad that they finally caught him. I'd like to kiss the Sheriff that arrested him. Eldon keep up the good work we know the truth.

Jr treated me so awful when I worked at the skate park. I made sure that the kids were safe and followed the rules and all Jr. did was sit on his lazy butt and thought of ways to spend the money that they ARE embezzling for the people in this town. Greedy uncaring bunch of good for nothing embezzlers.

The only reason that Victor Lopez helps people is because he has alterier motives. I know both Victors personally and they is a mobster. Greedy and money hungry. Do you know them personally?

Ha..what a freakin tool! Hey imbecile, it was in response to someone asking if we knew any inside info! What an idiot! Who acts like that? Oh right, the Lopez's....are you all that uneducated that the only way you know how to argue is by saying things that make no sense whatever, in fact they just show how incredibly lower class you are! Educate yourself BEFORE you post something like that because it wasn't the least bit funny or intimidating. And the lmfao? What are you texting? Unusual! Anyway, you uneducated dredge of society, and may I add, a damn good argument for abortion...back up off your computer and go pick up a dictionary because I'm sure there's about 50 or more words in my post that you don't understand and are going to have to look up! And based on your intelligence level I'm estimating we'll see you in about a week!

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Scorpio

It will be easy to let things get on top of you today, especially if you're already feeling rather tired and listless. Do yourself a favor and keep away from anyone who often makes you feel a bit fed up or defensive, because they're the last person you want to be around at the moment. They'll make your spirits sink down to your ankles in a flash, and who needs that?
