Judge tells King City officer to stay away from beaten teen


By Ana Ceballos

SALINAS - A judge ordered King City officer Bobby Carrillo on Friday to stay on his anti-anxiety medication and to keep away from the King City teenager he allegedly beat up earlier this month.
The victim, 19-year-old Francisco Ibarra, is a possible witness in the case over an alleged scandal that led to the arrests of six members of the King City Police Department, including the acting chief. Earlier this month, Carrillo, the central figure in the case, got into a fight with Ibarra, with prosecutor Steve Somers telling the judge Carrillo jammed a thumb into the youth's eye socket.
"What we are wondering now is: Did this happen because he was going to testify against him?" Somers said in court.
Somers asked the judge to bump up Carrillo's original bail of $60,000 on his felony case -- which has been paid -- to $100,000 as a result of his "unstable" and "violent" behavior, but the request was denied. Judge Russell Scott, however, set bail at $10,000 on Carrillo's new battery charge.
Carrillo is on disability leave and has been on anti-anxiety medication since January, according to his attorney, Susan Chapman. She said the "pushing and shoving" from Oct. 2 that led to the new battery charge was a result of being off his medication.
Carrillo was ordered to not come in contact with Ibarra, who may testify against Carrillo in his felony case. Somers called him a "co-conspirator" in the towing scheme for buying vehicles towed in the scheme. Ibarra's attorney, Tom Worthington, said his client wasn't aware of any illegal activity at the time.
In February, Carrillo was arrested along with five other King City police officers. Carrillo is charged with conspiracy, accepting a bribe and bribing an executive officer to run a for-profit towing scheme targeting low-income Latinos.
Carrillo remains out on bail.
"His whole family is here, he is not at risk of fleeing," Chapman said.
Carrillo is scheduled to be back in court Dec. 3 for his pretrial conference and is expected to stand trial
