The California Highway Patrol and the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office released information on Monday regarding Sunday evening’s fatal vehicle versus motorcycle accident.

At about 6:35 p.m. on Sunday, March 2, a 40-year-old Hamilton City man was driving a 2022 Tesla west on Highway 32, approaching Sacramento Avenue, the easternmost street that intersects with Highway 32 in Hamilton City. The name of this driver was withheld in both the CHP’s and GCSO’s news releases,

Also in the Tesla were two children, a 14-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, both from Hamilton City. Their names were also withheld.

The Tesla driver had turned into the left turn lane with the intention of turning left onto southbound Sacramento Avenue.

Jeremy Steven Rosales, 43, was driving a 2022 Harley Davidson motorcycle east on Highway 32, approaching Sacramento Avenue. The CHP’s news release says that Rosales was from Forest Ranch, while the sheriff’s log says he had a Butte Meadows zip code.

The Tesla driver began turning left as the Harley Davidson approached. According to the CHP, the Tesla driver did not see the Harley as he began his turn.

According to weather websites, sunset was at about 6:01 p.m. on Sunday, with twilight ending at about 6:27 p.m., so the sun would not have made it difficult for the Tesla driver to see. The CHP’s news release does not specify whether the Tesla’s and Harley’s headlights were turned on.

The motorcycle struck the left front of the Tesla. The motorcycle and its rider continued traveling east, where it struck the stop sign at the southeast corner of the intersection of Highway 32 and Sacramento Avenue.

Rosales was ejected from the Harley. Deputies found him alongside the road.

He was unresponsive and Hamilton City firefighters began performing CPR. Westside Ambulance personnel arrived and Rosales was pronounced deceased at 6:56 p.m.

Sweet-Olsen Family Mortuary of Orland later arrived and took possession of the body.

No injuries were reported for the driver of the Tesla. Both of his passengers sustained minor injuries. All the occupants were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the collision.

Jeremy Rosales was wearing a helmet when the accident occurred.

Neither drugs nor alcohol were a factor in the incident.

At roughly 6:45 a.m. on Sunday, March 2, a man called the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office to report that he just witnessed someone in a pickup leaving the property of his (the caller’s) neighbor, and he believed the driver of the truck had stolen fuel from the neighbor.

The caller also said he was following the pickup and the trailer it was pulling.

Perhaps realizing he was being followed, the driver of the truck began traveling more or less randomly on the roads south of Orland, driving on County Roads P, 18, M, 24, 25, and 21, to name some of them.

Near the southwest corner of the intersection of County Roads P and 24, on the south side of Road 24, the driver of the pickup either lost or dumped a 500-gallon tank of fuel. The pickup driver then left the scene.

Some fuel leaked from the tank and the Orland Fire Department was called to the scene to deal with the hazardous material spill. Absorbent was spread over the fuel on the ground.

Before the firefighters cleared the P and 24 scene, a call went out to the Orland Fire Department that there was another fuel spill on County Road 25, west of County Road P.

This spill was quite a bit larger than the one at P and 24. When the firefighters left the P and 24 scene, they went to the incident on County Road 25, joining the firefighters who were already there.

A few minutes after arriving at the Road 25 scene, Orland Fire Chief Justin Chaney told the Glenn County Sheriff’s dispatcher that thief or thieves stole more than just fuel. Batteries and computer items were also taken.

Meanwhile, the pickup and trailer had left the roadways and entered an orchard. After several minutes of searching, Glenn County Sheriff’s deputies found the pickup and driver in an orchard south of County Road 21, east of County Road M.

The pickup, a Ford F-350, was towed from the area by Al Quintel, owner of Zips Towing. The trailer was left in the orchard.

She was the loving wife of Gene Utt, and was a beloved sister, aunt, great-aunt, and cousin.

She left a lasting impression with all who crossed her path. She was known for her love of family, world travel, Halloween, and Disneyland adventures, and was always the life of the party.

Throughout her jobs with the Glenn County Tax Collector, Glenn County Joint Powers Authority, and Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, she was a hard worker. No job was too big or small.

She was also very active in the community, and was heavily involved in the operations of the Young Ladies Institute (YLI), Portuguese Holy Ghost, and Willows Horseshoes.

She is survived by her three sisters, Tina Lavey (Doug), Sara Mickiewicz (Mick), Kerri Chun (Vernon); Jason Utt (Deana), and Tim Utt; nieces Taylor Ceccato, Colby Lavey, Elizabeth Mickiewicz, Rachel Sarmento and Jennifer Chun-Brodie; and great-nieces and -nephews Camille, Marie, Finnley, Sutton, Anna-Rose, Coralynn, Jasmine, Addison, Waylan, and June Rose.

A celebration of life is planned for Wednesday, March 12, at Saint Monica’s Catholic Church in Willows. Recitation of the Rosary is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. and the Service at 10 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be sent to YLI, or a charity of choice.

The American trend of being easily offended continues.

On Friday, February 28, the following message was sent to The Glenn County Observer. It is reproduced here exactly as it was written:

“Hello, I would appreciate it. If you would stop calling the jail. the gray bar hotel and using the term we will leave the light on for ya. it is very offensive. It’s already one thing to be makeing these people‘s mistakes public. so then you have to make a joke that it’s a motel? I don’t find it funny at all just because you’re a perfect citizen. You think it’s OK to make that kind of joke that’s very unprofessional. whoever writes that obviously has a sick sense of humor. If it’s that old fat guy with glasses he definitely looks like a child molester. Or a crossdresser after work. Not funny to you right? People make mistakes and go to jail some for a long time people get taken away from their families and friends hardships trials, and tribulations from people going to jail. It is hard on everybody financially and you just think it’s a joke you’re smart ass remarks are going to get your cocksucker slapped one of these days.”

The message was sent by someone who calls himself Zack. His last name is apparently Bolinger. At least, that name is included in his email address.

As for the Graybar Hotel items, they are indeed posted by the “old fat guy with glasses he definitely looks like a child molester”, as is everything else in The Observer. It’s a one-person production. The reason I don’t include my byline near the top of the Graybar Hotel jail booking items is because very little in them originates with me. That is, the information in them all comes – sometimes word-for-word – from the jail staff, the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office, the Orland Police Department, and occasionally other sources.

Not even the term, “Graybar Hotel”, originated with me – not by a longshot. Before I started using it, it was the name many inmates in the Men’s Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles used. In 2014, “The Greybar Hotel” (note the British spelling, “Grey”) was the title of an episode of the TV show, The Mentalist. Furthermore, The Graybar Hotel was the title of a 2017 collection of short stories by Curtis Dawkins, a prisoner serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole at Lakeland Correctional Facility in Michigan for the “mistake” of committing murder (as one particular person with whom we have just become acquainted would say). And, here in Glenn County, the late publisher of The Sacramento Valley Mirror, Tim Crews, sometimes used the term.

I use “The Graybar Hotel” to grab readers’ attention. Using “The Glenn County Jail” would, quite frankly, get boring.

Of course, I could use some other term. How about “clink”? “Cooler”? “Pokey”? “Hoosegow”? “Slammer”? “Calaboose”?

Not that it really matters. No matter what term is used, even “The Glenn County Adult Detention Facility” (yawn!), someone would be offended by it.

Here is a list of the bookings into the Glenn County Jail, with information provided by jail personnel, the Glenn County Sheriff’s log, the Orland police log, and other sources. Remember: Everyone accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
