OC Sheriff’s investigators arrest Southern California serial bank robbery suspect
ALISO VIEJO, Ca. (April 2, 2021) – Sheriff’s Department investigators arrested a man suspected of a series of recent bank robberies across Southern California.
At approximately 2:40 p.m. on March 10, 2021 a male suspect committed a bank robbery in the 26000 block of Aliso Creek Road in the city of Aliso Viejo.
Upon investigation, it was determined the suspect was involved in a series of bank robberies in February 2021 and March 2021 in Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura and San Diego counties. The suspect targeted banks in grocery stores. He would pass his cell phone to the teller, which contained a note demanding money and indicating the suspect was armed.
Orange County Sheriff’s investigators wrote multiple search warrants and their work led to identification of the suspect. Kyle Marquise Adlam, 24, was arrested and booked into Orange County Jail on Wednesday, March 31, on suspicion of robbery.
Narcotics investigators seized thousands of illicit pills, drugs, guns and cash after a traffic stop in South Orange County.
At about 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 31, deputies conducted a traffic stop in the city of Irvine, which resulted in the discovery of illicit pills stamped as known prescription medication. Investigators collected 40,000 counterfeit Adderall pills containing methamphetamine and 10,000 counterfeit Xanax pills containing fentanyl.
The roadside seizure led to the issuance of a warrant to search the suspect’s Irvine residence where investigators collected additional substances including two pounds of the hallucinogenic psilocybin, 29 grams of cocaine, and 800 THC vape cartridges. An additional 6,515 pills of illicit Adderall containing methamphetamine and 10,100 illicit Xanax pills containing fentanyl also were found at the residence, along with two handguns, one assault rifle, and about $124,000 in cash.
The 24-year-old man was booked into Orange County Jail on suspicion of felony possession of narcotics for sale, felony transport of narcotics for sale, and felony possession of controlled substances for sale.
The Sheriff’s Department Working to Curb Distracted Driving
Stanton, Ca. (April 23, 2021) – Distracted driving is a dangerous and illegal behavior the Sheriff’s Department is working to deter drivers from doing.
On Monday, April 26, deputies will focus their efforts on drivers that are talking, texting, using an app or any other action on their phone that is not hands-free and violates California’s cell phone law. A violation is subject to a $162 fine for the first offense, and at least $285 for a second offense.
Distracted driving comes in many forms, but cell phones remain the top distraction. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 3,450 people were killed in 2016 due to distracted drivers. A 2018 observational survey by Fresno State and the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) found nearly 5 percent of California drivers were using their phone illegally behind the wheel, either by talking on or using their phone without a hands-free device.
In this day and age, it is natural instinct to answer the phone or read a text, but the focus for drivers should be on the road. Other distractions include eating, grooming, talking to passengers, using GPS, adjusting the radio, taking off a jacket, or reaching for an object on the floor.
If you have an important phone call or need to reprogram your navigation system, pull over to a safe parking place. To resist the urge of using your phone, either silence it or put it somewhere you can’t reach.
Funding for this distracted driving enforcement operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

LAGUNA HILLS, Ca. (March 31, 2021): At approximately 10:35 a.m. deputies responded to a disturbance call at the 27000 block of Greenfield Drive in the city of Laguna Hills. It was reported that an adult man had thrown a boat propeller through the windshield of a vehicle in the neighborhood.
Upon arrival, deputies attempted to make contact with the man, later identified as Richard Quintilone, 49, but he retreated into the residence. Soon after, deputies observed fire inside the residence. Quintilone refused commands to exit, and deputies entered the residence and attempted to locate him but were unsuccessful. Nearby homes were evacuated.
The Orange County Fire Authority arrived to suppress the fire and worked collaboratively with Sheriff’s deputies as they assessed the whereabouts of Quintilone. As it was originally believed that Quintilone was barricaded inside the residence, firefighters worked with deputies to safely contain the fire and stop it from spreading to nearby homes.
At approximately 12:20 p.m. neighbors on a nearby street alerted deputies that Quintilone was at their residence. He was arrested without incident and booked into Orange County Jail for felony arson.
The joint investigation into this incident is ongoing.

SANTA ANA, Ca. (25 de marzo de 2021): El Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de Orange reanudará el viernes 26 de marzo las visitas limitadas en las cárceles del Condado de Orange.
