Way to go HC Sheriff’s Deputies. Take these scum bags off of the Streets and hopefully he will be on a fast Jet back to Texas for his punishment and good riddance.

At least this one won’t get probation and therapy if Texas want him back.

Boy this motel sure does attract a lot of criminals. Too bad it can’t be closed up like the Blue Heron

Read the TripAdvisor and Yelp reviews for the Lone Pine. Hilarious. It’s another Patel shithole.

The Patel’s own countless hotels/motels. Not just run down ones. They also own some of the very nice hotels, as well.

Patel is a last name in India like Smith is in English speaking lands. The Patels are not all related. I believe it may mean inn keeper but there are other theories. Sorry, Bushman, but if you are not going to stay at a Patel establishment in California, you are probably going to sleep in your car.

Yes, you are correct. The original meaning comes from the Hindu and Parsi name meaning village headman or, the owner/tenant of a royal piece of land.

The Texas A G’s office must have been watching his credit card for them to know exactly where he’d be. Good work for the 2 LEO depts to work so well together to get a child predator put away.

I love the world wide web, where you can sentence a person to death based on three paragraphs of a police press release…

I think everyone means death after being found guilty in a court by a jury. I am also of the opinion that we need to get tougher and lose some predators. Overpopulation and such

Jerry,maybe he was just visiting family in garberville and wanted to stay at the lone pine motel. He must not have realized that he shouldn’t leave Texas, being he’s wanted and all.

Innocent until proven guilty! I actually know this guy and he was just using the bathroom in an alley and by coincidence a parent walked by with her child

Julius, That is BS… I know this scumbag also. He raped his 8 year old daughter. He also, raped an 11 year old girl when he was 19, so no he is not innocent.
