It was mid-afternoon when Mario Vidrio,
an immigration enforcement agent assigned to the Escondido Police Department's
Gang Task Force, responded to a call involving an unsafe lane change on one of
Escondido, Calif.'s major thoroughfares. He didn't know that this traffic stop
was going to help him take a dangerous criminal off the streets of southern
California.
When Vidrio arrived at the scene, the
subject did not have any identification, and when questioned, stated that he
was a citizen of Mexico who was illegally in the United States. Vidrio
immediately began conducting record checks, but several of them returned
negative results. It wasn't until Vidrio transported the individual to back to
the Escondido Police Department and ran his fingerprints against a series of
databases that he received a positive result. The San Diego County Sheriff's
Department had issued a $600,000 felony warrant for the arrest of this
individual. He was charged with child molestation and had previously been
deported.
This scenario is not unique. ICE's
partnerships with local law enforcement agencies in northern San Diego Country
have resulted in the arrest of more than 1,000 criminal aliens and immigration
violators over the last two years.
The majority of these arrests occurred
in Escondido, where nearly 800 individuals have been taken into custody since
ICE and the Escondido Police Department launched Operation Joint Effort in May
2010. Operation Joint Effort helps the two agencies leverage resources to
identify and arrest criminal aliens, fugitive aliens and aliens who have illegally
returned to the United States after having been removed.
Robin Baker, field office director for
the Enforcement and Removal Operations office in San Diego, is proud of the
1,000 arrests, but knows there is more work to do.
"This milestone clearly shows that our
collaborative efforts with local law enforcement to improve public safety are
having an impact," he said. "These partnerships have increased the
number of potentially dangerous deportable criminals being removed from our
communities and ultimately from our country."
The FBI is announcing the arrest of
Scott Fredrick Moline, age 50, of Fallbrook, California, on Saturday, April 21,
2012.
Moline was arrested on Saturday, April
21, 2012 at approximately 4:00 p.m. without incident by FBI agents, San Diego
Sheriff’s Department deputies, and California Highway Patrol officers.
Moline was arrested pursuant to a
federal arrest warrant charging him with the robbery of the Bank of America
located at 1125 South Main Avenue in Fallbrook, California on Wednesday, April
18, 2012.
On Wednesday, April 18, 2012, at
approximately 9:56 a.m., the Bank of America branch located at 1125 South Main
in Fallbrook, California was robbed by an unknown man. At the time of the
robbery, the robber approached a teller and made a verbal demand for money. The
robber stated that he was there to rob the teller and had explosives in a
waiting car. After receiving a sum of money, the robber exited the bank. After
the robber exited the bank, a dye pack exploded, covering the robber in red
dye.
Following this robbery, the FBI issued a
news release to local media for further dissemination to the public. As a
result of the bank robbery surveillance photographs airing on local television
stations and posting to the FBI’s webpage, the FBI received a number of
telephone calls concerning the identity of the bank robbery suspect. This
information, along with additional investigation, led to the filing of federal
bank robbery charges against Moline.
Subsequent investigation by FBI agents
and San Diego Sheriff’s deputies led to Moline’s arrest. It is anticipated that
Moline will be booked into the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) and have
his initial appearance before a U.S. Magistrate Judge on or about Monday, April
23, 2012. This case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

United States Attorney Laura E. Duffy announced that George Djura Jakubec, 54, pled guilty today in federal court in San Diego before the Honorable Larry A. Burns to two counts of carrying a firearm during and in relation to crimes of violence, that is, the November 13, 2009 robbery of the Bank of America, located at 1190 East Ocean Air Drive, San Diego, California, and the November 27, 2009 attempted robbery of the same bank branch – charges that carry a mandatory-minimum sentence of thirty (30) years' imprisonment.
Jakubec was arrested by law enforcement on November 18, 2010, after a gardener performing yard work at his residence was injured by an accidental explosion of highly volatile explosive material in Jakubec's backyard. On December 2, 2010, a federal indictment was handed up charging Jakubec with eight counts relating to the unlawful manufacture and possession of destructive devices at his Escondido, California residence, the robbery or attempted robbery of four San DiegoCounty banks, and possessing a firearm during and in relation to two of those bank robberies.
As part of his guilty plea, Jakubec admitted that he manufactured and possessed the explosives and explosive devices found at his Escondido residence, robbed or attempted to rob four San Diego County Bank of America branches, and carried firearms in furtherance of two of those bank robberies. Specifically, Jakubec admitted that from a date unknown to on or about November 18, 2010, he illegally manufactured and possessed certain high explosives at his residence in San Marcos, California, including significant quantities of Hexamethylene Tiperoxide Diamine (HMTD), Pentaerythitol Tetranitrate (PETN), and Erythritol Tetranitrate (ETN). Jakubec further admitted that on or before November 18, 2010, he illegally manufactured and possessed at least twenty-two (22) destructive devices, including nine detonators, thirteen grenade hulls and significant quantities of high explosives. With respect to the bank robberies, Jakubec not only admitted to the robbery and attempted robbery of the East Ocean Air Drive Bank of America Branch, for which he obtained $43,012, but also admitted to the June 25, 2010, robbery of the Bank of America branch at 9460 Scranton Road, San Diego, California, and the July 17, 2010, robbery of the Bank of America branch located at 11855 Carmel Mountain Road, San Diego, California, in which he obtained an additional $11,880. In each of these bank robberies, Jakubec admitted that he obtained the money by threatening the bank tellers. Jakubec admitted that he carried a loaded firearm during and in relation to the robbery and attempted robbery of the East Ocean Air Drive Bank of America branch, and that he intended to use the firearm he carried on those occasions to intimidate bank employees, if necessary.
As a result of his guilty plea and admissions, Jakubec also agreed to pay restitution to the victim of the explosion on his property, adjacent property owners, Bank of America and the County of San Diego. The plea agreement specifically provides that the restitution to the County is $541,000 and the restitution to Bank of America totals $54,892.
Jakubec is scheduled to appear before Judge Burns for sentencing on June 13, 2011 at
United States Attorney Duffy said, "Jakubec's guilty plea to charges involving a thirty-year mandatory- minimum sentence serves as a reminder that there are very severe consequences for those who commit crimes of violence that threaten the safety of this community." U.S. Attorney Duffy also praised the coordinated effort and dedication of all of the state, local and federal law enforcement partners who were involved in the investigation of Jakubec and responded to the incident: "Due to the rapid response and tireless work of these agencies, explosives that posed an immediate threat to the safety of our community were removed from our streets, and the individual responsible for the manufacture of those explosives and other acts of violence is being held accountable for his conduct."
"Jakubec will be held accountable for his actions and for placing the community of Escondido at risk," said John A. Torres, Special Agent in Charge ATF Los Angeles. "Every agency involved in this investigation worked together to ensure that Jakubec does not place anyone else in danger now or in the future."
FBI Special Agent in Charge Keith Slotter commented, "Mr. Jakubec's guilty plea to these charges is appropriate. The number of lives that were in danger because of his manufacturing and possession of explosives was extremely concerning and as members of this community we are fortunate that there was no loss of life because of his poor judgment. The quick resolution of this investigation is a testament to the positive and cooperative relationship between the federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in this County and we will all continue to band together to thwart this type of criminal activity."
"We're pleased with the plea and believe this is a satisfactory resolution," commented Sheriff Bill Gore. "This situation potentially posed a significant threat to public safety and we are glad this chapter is closed."
