The Glendora Police Department responded to nine records requests including two alleged felonies committed on campus.
The Clarion received five unredacted arrest logs from the Glendora Police Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act request for records.
After several attempts to obtain records in writing, email and over the phone, without a response from the police department or city of Glendora, the Clarion filed FOIA requests to access the records.
Some of the arrest logs were still redacted by the Glendora city clerk’s office who responded to the request.
One log shows the arrest of Citrus Foundation employee Clarence Cernal for the charge of rape. Police received a complaint against Cernal on Sept. 28 and arrested him on campus on Oct. 10.
The Glendora Police Dept. gave a redacted version of the arrest log in December to the Clarion, but the charges against Cernal were not visible.
Another log shows retired Citrus employee Tim Jaquette was charged with carrying a firearm on campus Sept. 16, two days before his retirement on Sept. 18.
A Los Angeles County employee at the Pomona courthouse found a record of the Cernal case on Jan. 17. The record shows Cernal posted bail for an alleged rape on Oct. 15, 2019, at the Pomona Superior Court.
The employee’s record also shows Los Angeles County District Attorney has not filed charges against Cernal, so further court records are unavailable. County records on courthouse computers available to the public also say Cernal does pending criminal cases.
The employee said the L.A. County District Attorney’s office is conducting an investigation into the allegations against Cernal.
The DA has up to a year to file charges against Cernal before releasing his bail.
