Security guards and portable toilets spotted at PG&E substations around San Francisco could be linked to a recent break-in at a facility, raising safety concerns among consumer advocates amid attacks on power grids across the country.

According to the San Francisco Police Department, the break-in occurred at 8:39 p.m. on June 9 at the PG&E substation on Leidesdorff Street near Commercial Street.

“We witnessed an unauthorized break-in at a San Francisco substation and are working with law enforcement to investigate,” PG&E spokesman Jason King confirmed, adding that there were no power outages related to the incident.

According to initial police investigations, an unknown person gained access to the facility and manipulated a control panel in the electrical system. PG&E security personnel notified the FBI after the incident.

Dispatch audio recordings from the time of the incident described it as “sabotage” and classified it as malicious mischief or vandalism.

District Manager Aaron Peskin, who represents the area, didn’t know if guards were stationed at other PG&E substations in San Francisco, but said the incident may have been a reason to add them.

“If there are guards, I’m assuming it’s not because of broken transformers, but because they hacked into one of their substations,” Peskin said.

When asked if the incident resulted in an increased security presence around the utility’s San Francisco substations, King said he couldn’t name specific security measures to “avoid giving anyone a roadmap.”

Security guards and mobile toilets were spotted at three substations in different parts of the city.

Attacks on the power grid in the United States

Recent attacks on nine substations in North Carolina, Washington and Oregon have increased concerns about power grid security.

The New York Times reported in February that the FBI had offered two $25,000 rewards for information leading to the conviction of those responsible for two shootings at a North Carolina substation in December and January. The January incident left 45,000 people without power for five days.

Recent attacks have made network security a key priority for North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).

“The increase in physical attacks on the nation’s power infrastructure underscores the need to continue to assess potential grid vulnerabilities and determine whether additional security controls are needed to more fully protect this critical infrastructure going forward,” said Rachel Sherrard, spokeswoman for NERC. in an opinion.

According to one report, PG&E spent $300 million protecting substations after a San Jose substation was hit by gunfire in 2013, causing $15 million in damage.

The San Jose incident prompted a brief statewide safety assessment, according to Thomas Long, director of regulatory strategy at the Utility Reform Network, a California consumer advocacy group for utilities.

“There was some effort [California] “The Public Utilities Commission needs to look into whether PG&E and other utilities are taking care of the adequate security of these substations, but that was many years ago and I don’t recall there being a public inquiry,” Long said.

It has long been questioned whether regulators will hold PG&E accountable for making proper use of its revenue, which is funded by the high utility fees paid by consumers.

“I don’t know if PG&E is doing enough security efforts given the money taxpayers are paying,” he said. “Our tariffs fund PG&E to provide these security guards at the substations.”

The California Public Utilities Commission did not respond to comment at the time of publication.

In late April, thousands of customers in Downtown and Chinatown were without power for five days after a fire at a PG&E underground vault at 640 Clay St. The San Francisco Fire Department responded in less than four minutes, but it took PG&E 20 minutes to arrive at the scene.

The delay in emergency response time and restoration of power prompted Peskin to convene a May 18 hearing where residents of affected areas criticized the utility.

“There have been numerous failures of vaults and other PG&E equipment over many years,” Peskin said at the hearing. “This particular incident is characterized by the fact that […] power was restored to the last buildings and individuals 123 hours later.”

Wir alle sind dankbar für all die Gebete und guten Wünsche, während er seine Genesung fortsetzt. Danke dich so sehr.” Ihre Bemerkungen wurden von den im Plenarsaal versammelten Menschen mit Beifall aufgenommen. Sie standen fast eine Minute lang da und klatschten. Zoe Lofgren, Vertreterin der Bay Area, saß in der ersten Reihe und wischte sich die Augen.

15. November 2022

David DePape bekennt sich in den beiden gegen ihn erhobenen Anklagen des Bundes, versuchter Entführung und Körperverletzung, nicht schuldig. Er wurde in den Bundesgerichtssaal gebracht, der von fünf US-Marschällen und zwei Sheriff-Offizieren aus San Francisco bewacht wurde. Seine vom Bundesgericht ernannte Rechtsanwältin ist Angela Chuang. Sein nächster Auftritt vor Gericht ist für den 30. November geplant.

9. November 2022

Eine bundesweite Anklage wird von einer Grand Jury des Bundes gegen David DePape erhoben. Er wird wegen versuchter Entführung sowie Körperverletzung angeklagt. Beide Anklagepunkte zusammen ergeben eine Höchststrafe von 50 Jahren Gefängnis. Die Anklageschrift enthüllt, dass sich die Begegnung zwischen Pelosi, DePape und der Polizei an der Haustür des Hauses, als Pelosi mit dem Hammer geschlagen wurde, innerhalb von 15 Sekunden abspielte. Die Anklage besagt, dass DePape plante, Sprecherin Pelosi zu benutzen, um eine andere Person zu ködern, die er ins Visier genommen hatte. Elektronische Beweise, die in DePapes Haus in Richmond beschlagnahmt wurden, zeigen, dass er eine Adresse für dieses Ziel recherchiert hatte, aber die Anklageschrift das Ziel nicht namentlich identifizierte. Ein weiteres Ziel wird ebenfalls erwähnt, aber nicht genannt.

3. November 2022

Sechs Tage nach dem Angriff wird Paul Pelosi aus dem Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital entlassen.

Er ist jetzt zu Hause, umgeben von seiner Familie, die um Privatsphäre bittet.“

Einwanderungsbeamte sagen, der Verdächtige David DePape sei illegal in den USA und habe ein Visum für Kanada überschritten. ICE hat gegen DePape einen Immigrationshaftbefehl erhoben.

2. November 2022

Die US-Kapitolpolizei hatte Kameras vor dem Haus der Sprecherin des Repräsentantenhauses, Nancy Pelosi, aufgestellt, die jedoch laut mehreren mit der Angelegenheit vertrauten Quellen nicht überwacht wurden.

David DePape tritt in diesem Fall zum ersten Mal vor Gericht auf, um in sechs Anklagen gegen ihn auf nicht schuldig zu plädieren. Dieser Fall wird in einem Gerichtssaal in San Francisco verhandelt und betrifft Anklagepunkte auf Landesebene, nicht auf Bundesebene. DePape wird ohne Kaution festgehalten. Er wird von Pflichtverteidiger Adam Lipson vertreten.

Eine eidesstattliche Erklärung des Bundes enthüllt anschauliche Details darüber, was sich in den frühen Morgenstunden des 28. Oktober 2022 im Pelosi-Haus abspielte. Es heißt, Pelosi habe um 2:23 Uhr den Notruf 911 angerufen, um einen Fremden in seinem Haus zu melden. SFPD-Beamte trafen um 2:31 Uhr ein und begegneten Pelosi und DePape im Haus, jeder mit einer Hand an einem Hammer. „DEPAPE zog Pelosi den Hammer aus der Hand und schwang den Hammer, wobei er Pelosi in den Kopf schlug. Die Beamten gingen sofort hinein und konnten DEPAPE festhalten. Während die Beamten DEPAPE festhielten, schien Pelosi bewusstlos am Boden zu liegen.“

Pelosi sprach im Krankenwagen auf dem Weg ins Krankenhaus mit SFPD-Beamten. Er sagte den Beamten, er habe DePape noch nie gesehen, bevor er ihn aufweckte und „erklärte, er wolle mit ‚Nancy‘ sprechen“.

Die eidesstattliche Erklärung beschreibt ein Interview, das DePape SFPD gab: „DEPAPE erklärte, dass er Nancy als Geisel nehmen und mit ihr sprechen würde. Wenn Nancy DEPAPE die ‚Wahrheit‘ sagen würde, würde er sie gehen lassen, und wenn sie ‚lügen‘, er würde ‘ihre Kniescheiben’ brechen … DEPAPE erklärte später auch, dass sie durch das Brechen von Nancys Kniescheiben in den Kongress gefahren werden müsste, was anderen Kongressabgeordneten zeigen würde, dass ihre Handlungen Konsequenzen haben würden. DePape sagt, er sei mit einem Hammer durch eine Glastür in das Haus eingebrochen. „DEPAPE hatte an diesem Morgen Kabelbinder, Klebeband, Seile und mindestens einen Hammer dabei. Die Beweise zeigen weiter, dass DEPAPE Herrn Pelosi mit DEPAPEs eigenem Hammer angegriffen hat.“

Die eidesstattliche Erklärung erwähnt auch einen Zeugen, der als privater Wachmann in einem nahe gelegenen Haus arbeitete. Der Zeuge „sah eine Person ganz in Schwarz, die eine große schwarze Tasche auf dem Rücken trug und in der Nähe der Pelosi-Residenz ging“, und kurz darauf „hörte der Zeuge etwas, das sich anhörte, als würde er entweder gegen eine Tür oder ein Auto klopfen, und hörte dann innerhalb einer Minute die Sirenen oder zwei.”

31. Oktober 2022

David DePape, der verdächtigt wird, Paul Pelosi angegriffen zu haben, wird aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen und ins Gefängnis von San Francisco eingewiesen. Bei seiner Festnahme erlitt er eine ausgerenkte Schulter. Er muss am 1. November zum ersten Mal vor Gericht erscheinen.

VERBINDUNG: Ehemalige Nachbarn beschreiben den Angriffsverdächtigen von Paul Pelosi, David DePape, als „leise, ausweichend“

Die Staatsanwaltschaft von San Francisco kündigt ein halbes Dutzend Anklagen wegen Straftaten gegen DePape an, darunter versuchter Mord, Körperverletzung mit einer tödlichen Waffe, Misshandlung älterer Menschen, Wohnungseinbruch, falsche Inhaftierung und Drohung mit dem Leben oder schwerer Körperverletzung eines Beamten. Bezirksstaatsanwältin Brooke Jenkins sagt, dass die sechs Anklagen wegen Verbrechen zu Haftstrafen von 13 Jahren bis hin zu lebenslanger Haft führen. DePape sieht sich auch Bundesanklagen ausgesetzt, darunter Angriff auf das unmittelbare Familienmitglied eines Bundesbeamten, der mit einer Höchststrafe von 30 Jahren Gefängnis bestraft wird. Er wurde auch wegen versuchter Entführung eines Bundesbeamten angeklagt, der mit einer Höchststrafe von 20 Jahren Gefängnis bestraft wird.

29. Oktober 2022

Nancy Pelosi veröffentlicht ihr erstes Statement zu dem Angriff. In einem Beitrag auf Twitter dankt die Sprecherin des Repräsentantenhauses den Menschen für ihre Sorge um ihren Ehemann Paul und sagt: „Danke für Ihre Gebete für meinen Mann und unsere Familie.“ Paul Pelosi bleibt im Krankenhaus.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — In the middle of the night, a man broke into the San Francisco home belonging to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and attacked her husband, Paul, with a hammer. The suspect, identified as 42-year-old David DePape, was arrested. The case resulted in multiple charges on both a state and federal level and a closer look at security for American politicians and their families.

Here is a timeline of the events that began with the attack on Oct. 28, 2022.

Dec 14, 2022

In a preliminary hearing, a judge finds there is enough evidence to proceed to trial on six state charges against David DePape. Those charges include attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment, and threatening the life or serious bodily harm to a public official.

For the first time, Pelosi’s 911 call was played as well as police bodycam video. The prosecution called two witnesses: a lieutenant from SFPD’s Special Investigations unit as well as one of the officers who responded to the 911 call. That officer demonstrated for the court how he saw DePape strike Pelosi with a hammer. Prosecutors also played a 17 minute clip of DePape’s first interview with investigators, as well as surveillance footage from US Capitol Police that showed how DePape entered the property.

DePape’s arrangement is scheduled for Dec. 28, 2022.

They stood and clapped for nearly a minute. Bay Area Representative Zoe Lofgren, seated in the front row, could be seen wiping her eyes.

Nov 15, 2022

David DePape pleads not guilty to the two federal charges against him, attempted kidnapping and assault. He was brought into the federal courtroom guarded by five US Marshals and two San Francisco Sheriff Officers. His federal court appointed attorney is Angela Chuang. His next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 30.

Nov 9, 2022

A federal indictment is handed up by a federal grand jury against David DePape. He is charged with attempted kidnapping as well as assault. Combined, the two charges carry a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison. The indictment reveals that the encounter between Pelosi, DePape, and police at the front door of the home, when Pelosi was struck with the hammer, unfolded within 15 seconds. The indictment says that DePape planned to use Speaker Pelosi to lure another individual he had targeted. Electronic evidence seized at DePape’s Richmond home shows that he had researched an address for that target, but the indictment did not identify the target by name. An additional target is also mentioned, but not named.

He is now home surrounded by his family who request privacy.”

SFPD officers arrived at 2:31 am and encountered Pelosi and DePape inside the house, each with a hand on a hammer. “DEPAPE pulled the hammer from Pelosi’s hand and swung the hammer, striking Pelosi in the head.

Pelosi spoke with SFPD officers while in the ambulance on his way to the hospital. He told officers he had never seen DePape before he woke him up and “stated he wanted to talk to ‘Nancy’.”

The affidavit describes an interview DePape gave SFPD: “DEPAPE stated that he was going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to her. If Nancy were to tell DEPAPE the ‘truth,’ he would let her go, and if she ‘lied,’ he was going to break ‘her kneecaps’…DEPAPE also later explained that by breaking Nancy’s kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other Members of Congress there were consequences to actions.” DePape says he broke into the house through a glass door by using a hammer. “DEPAPE had zip ties, tape, rope, and at least one hammer with him that morning. The evidence further shows that DEPAPE assaulted Mr. Pelosi with DEPAPE’s own hammer.”

The affidavit also mentions a witness who was working as a private security guard at a nearby house. The witness “saw an individual in all black, carrying a large black bag on his back, walking near the Pelosi residence” and soon after the witness “heard what sounded like banging on either a door or car and then heard the sirens within a minute or two.”

If Nancy were to tell DEPAPE the ‘truth,’ he would let her go, and if she ‘lied,’ he was going to break ‘her kneecaps’…DEPAPE also later explained that by breaking Nancy’s kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other Members of Congress there were consequences to actions.” DePape says he broke into the house through a glass door by using a hammer. “DEPAPE had zip ties, tape, rope, and at least one hammer with him that morning. The evidence further shows that DEPAPE assaulted Mr. Pelosi with DEPAPE’s own hammer.”

The affidavit also mentions a witness who was working as a private security guard at a nearby house. The witness “saw an individual in all black, carrying a large black bag on his back, walking near the Pelosi residence” and soon after the witness “heard what sounded like banging on either a door or car and then heard the sirens within a minute or two.”

David DePape, the man suspected of attacking Paul Pelosi, is released from the hospital and booked into San Francisco jail. He suffered a dislocated shoulder during his arrest. He’s due in court for his first appearance Nov. 1.

The San Francisco District Attorney’s office half announces a dozen felony charges against DePape including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment, and threatening the life or serious bodily harm to a public official. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins says the six felony charges carry sentences of 13 years to life in prison. DePape also faces federal charges including assault on the immediate family member of a federal official, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. He was also charged with the attempted kidnapping of a federal official, which carried a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Nancy Pelosi releases her first statement about the attack. In a post on Twitter, the House Speaker thanks people for their concern about her husband, Paul, saying “Thank you for your prayers for my husband and our family.” Paul Pelosi remains hospitalized.

David DePape’s former partner talks with ABC7 News and shares her concerns about DePape’s mental health issues. Oxane Taub, who goes by the name Gyspy, was a well-known local nudist activist who is currently imprisoned. The two have children together.

A 22-year-old San Francisco man pleaded not guilty on multiple charges Tuesday after allegedly breaking into a car body shop in Belmont and stealing thousands of dollars in equipment on Sunday and stealing it from a grocery store in town a day later. San Mateo County prosecutors said.

Armani Blanco is charged with burglary, vandalism and shoplifting after his arrest. He is charged with breaking into the Extreme Auto Body Shop on 1300 Old County Road at around 10:20 p.m. Sunday and stealing two computers and two sensor tools totaling about $ 9,600, prosecutors said.

The shop owner discovered the break-in the next day and called the police. The store’s surveillance footage showed Blanco breaking in and stealing the items, prosecutors said.

On Monday, Blanco allegedly stole $ 423 worth of groceries from a Safeway store in Belmont, but was caught by police within minutes.

He remains in custody and is expected to return for a preliminary court hearing on April 27.
