Chris Spain hasn't added a story.
For the last six years, I have worked with Jonathon Heredia and watched him grow and excel in his profession with enthusiasm and respect for both his coworkers and our customers. His open and joyful personality and exemplary character has been proven time and time again.
Today Jonathon is incarcerated at the Santa Rosa jail on serious charges of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend for several hours and possession of a deadly weapon. I have reviewed the charges and spoken with Jonathon and believe that these charges which are based solely on accusations by his ex girlfriend are not true. Of course, as many of us have personally experienced, it is impossible to predict what somebody is capable of, but having spoken to Jonathon, his older sister, Janet, and reviewing the information available, I am of the opinion that he is innocent. No one has been harmed, and there is no evidence of injury. The ex girlfriend didn't report the incident directly, indeed it was only escalated to police several days later by someone who overheard a conversation regarding the incident. From the complaint's issues to Jonathon's representation of the events, the charges just don't add up.
Our funding goal is $7K which will cover his legal costs for the preliminary hearing. Our hope is that available phone logs, texts, voicemails and interviews with those involved will provide enough compelling contradictions to the charges that he is able to avoid trial.
The lawyer we are hoping to secure with these funds is highly recommended and has proven these last two weeks to be very helpful in these early stages. Of course, Jonathon, with his older sister, Janet's input, will be responsible for how to best follow counsel's advice. My involvement has been to understand how our co-worker has gotten into this terrible situation and determine how to best avert the destruction of a great person's life. Feel free to call me if you have questions.
Whatever you can contribute will make a difference. Only give what you can afford to lose - it is impossible to tell at this point how this will all get resolved. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Chris Spain
