Incident Report / Actions Taken by Team Members
Upon driving to church for the evening service, I received a phone call from someone who witnessed a car crash at the corner of Ramona Drive and Guajome Lake Drive at the rear of our Vista campus. The vehicle destroyed a large section of our chainlink fence and narrowly missed the fire hydrant. The caller, reported only as Brian, stated that the driver tried to flee the scene, but was detained by neighbors, who witnessed the crash.
Upon arrival, I met with Ryan Montenez, a neighbor living on Ramona Drive. He reported hearing the crash, coming out to talk with the driver, then chasing the driver and detaining him. He also called the Sheriff’s Department to report the crash.
I met the driver, who appeared uninjured. He was clearly intoxicated and had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath. His eyes were glassy and his speech thick and slurred. He identified himself as Brandon Caplinger. About 10 minutes later, SDSO arrived and took over the investigation. Brandon was eventually arrested for DUI and his car towed from our property.
SDSO Case Number: 19154697, Deputy Kyle Klein #7275 conducted the investigation and wrote the report.
Deputy Jennifer Albright #3183 was a traffic investigator and provided cover for Deputy Klein.
