On Tuesday, May 19th, 2015, at about 1500 hours, San Francisco Assistant Patrol Special Officer Antjuan Taswell, Star # 2609, was driving to work from his residence in the east bay, over the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, going to his assigned station. He was in uniform and ready to work, as required. As he was driving and just after the tunnel, a vehicle in front of him veered across his lane and struck the side of the bridge. The vehicle then swerved back into the left two lanes and struck two other vehicles before swerving once again into the far right lane, again striking the bridge. Officer Taswell stopped his vehicle, as well as other motorists and exited his car to see if aid was needed. At that same time, the female driver of the cause of the accident exited her car, topless, and ran towards San Francisco in the far right lane. Officer Taswell gave chase as well as several other drivers. The female driver then took off the rest of her clothes and after running about 30 feet, jumped up on top of the bridge guard rail yelling she was going to jump and kill herself. Officer Taswell determined that she was suicidal and began to engage her in conversation in an attempt to convince her to come down from the railing. After a few minutes, Officer Taswell was successful in convincing her to come down from the bridge railing. She asked Officer Taswell if she could use his cell phone to “tweet” to her family and friends that she was going to jump off the bridge. Officer Taswell used this opportunity to lure her off the bridge rail. Officer Taswell signaled to other motorists to distract her and when that happened, he subdued her, placing her in handcuffs. Shortly thereafter, the California Highway Patrol arrived and took custody from him. The C.H.P. had called an ambulance and upon arrival the female was placed into the back of the ambulance.

04-25-2015  By Samual Reyes: I have the sad task of bringing you notification of San Francisco Patrol Special Police Officer James "Jim" Lobao, Sr. whom passed away yesterday. He was in his early 90's. He worked in the Taraval Police District his entire career dating back to the early 60's. He was a highly respected officer in the community he served and I had the great privilege of meeting him at Park & Shop Supermarket when he and Officer Serge White would come in for coffee and pie. It was Officer Lobao, Sr. and Officer Serge White that recruited me to become a Patrol Special Police Officer and after graduating from the San Francisco Police Academy for Reserve and Patrol Special Police I started working for them in 1968. They both taught me the in's and out's while being on patrol especially working in the Haight/ Ashburyfrom 1968 through 1972 with all three of us surviving that era. Officer Lobao, Sr. was especially proud to have his son become a San Francisco Patrol Special Police Officer and proud to have his son work with him. Officer Lobao, Sr. will be missed and I know I speak for all of us in sending his family our condolences. Officer Labao, Sr. was a great friend to all. "Rest In Peace Jim" | ||||||||||||||
