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.
