Haidl cited while skateboarding
Prosecutors are looking into the possibility that the son of an
Orange County assistant sheriff was given favorable treatment after
being cited on suspicion of trespassing on Monday, officials said.
Gregory Scott Haidl, who is out on $100,000 bail while facing rape
charges, was given a citation Monday night in San Clemente on his way
to class at Saddleback College, his defense attorney Joseph Cavallo
said.
A group of about 13 people were cited after allegedly
skateboarding through the fenced-off property at the former Black
Angus restaurant. Cavallo said Haidl, who is the son of Asst. Sheriff
Don Haidl, was treated the same as the rest of the people in the
area, although he was not even trespassing.
“He had a skateboard in one hand and a soda in the other,” Cavallo
said.
Prosecutors are looking into whether the citation is considered a
violation of bail. If the district attorney’s office wants to try to
revoke bail for the rape charges because of the citation, Cavallo
said, “they have another thing coming.”
“They’ll be in for a big surprise if they go that route,” he said.
Gregory Haidl, 18, Kyle Nachreiner and Keith Spann, both 19, are
accused of raping an unconscious 16-year-old girl in Don Haidl’s
Corona del Mar home in July 2002. All three have pleaded not guilty
to 24 felony counts. Their attorneys have said that the sex was
consensual.
“They are just kicking up dust ... trying to make Greg seem like
he is some spoiled brat who disregards the law and he is not,”
Cavallo said.
