Less than 48 hours after suffering his first knockout loss of his career, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero announced he is hanging up his boxing gloves for good.

LONG ISLAND, NY—Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero—in a fight he had hoped would show he was still a contender—couldn’t make it out of the third round.

Morgan Hill Police clarified via Facebook that a description of a large fight in the department’s daily activity logs, reported by a witness’ 911 call, contained incomplete information and the incident was likely staged with no injuries or malicious intentions.Police responded to the call the evening of July 3, when the witness saw what looked like about 10 girls beating up another girl on the top floor of the downtown parking garage on East Third Street, according to the July 13 MHPD Facebook post. When police arrived at the scene, no suspects or victims were located. No one was seen running from the area, and police did not receive any reports from local hospitals regarding any suspicious injuries.The post adds that two MHPD officers and one sergeant were already downtown for the July 3 Freedom Fest street dance, and were able to proceed to the garage “immediately” upon hearing the report of the alleged fight.But police later found out that a group of children had “staged a fight to look real and broadcast on social media,” the Facebook post adds. The closed circuit camera surveillance system within the garage seemed to confirm that account.The surveillance video showed a group of children hanging out and playing on their phones, according to police. A girl sat down and other friends set up their mobile phones to record the scene. “Immediately following the ‘attack,’ everyone was checking one another’s phones and continuing to hang out,” the MHPD’s Facebook post continues. “No one appeared injured, angry, upset, left the area hastily, etc.”“These kids didn’t commit a crime,” the post adds. “They didn’t waste police resources. Was it wise? Probably not, but it wasn’t criminal either.”An entry in the MHPD’s daily activity logs of the incident gave only the reporting witness’ account of what appeared to her to be a large fight with 10 girls ganging up on another, about 10:23 p.m. The entry, titled “Disturbance,” lists a disposition of “UTL,” which is short for “Unable To Locate.” The activity log also reports the witness told police her husband was running to the scene to help.The entry doesn’t describe officers’ follow-up or the possibility that it might have been a prank.The Times published a “Police Blotter” entry based on the original MHPD activity log on July 7.

Police are looking for a man who tried to break into a home in San Martin after carjacking a vehicle in Santa Cruz, according to authorities.Just after midnight July 9, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the area of Water Avenue in San Martin, after a resident there called 911 to report an attempted break-in, according to Sheriff’s Sgt. Rich Glennon. The homeowner heard the suspect trying to force entry into the home, and warned him from inside that police were being called.The suspect initially refused to leave the San Martin property. After the homeowner used a firearm to fire a warning shot, the suspect fled in a Chevrolet Impala that he had previously stolen out of Santa Cruz, Glennon said.Deputies arrived to the area and located the stolen vehicle, and attempted to make a traffic stop, according to Glennon. The suspect continued to flee police, and a short vehicle chase took place.The suspect led deputies to the end of Brookview Court in Morgan Hill, where he abandoned the Impala and continued to run away on foot through residential yards, Glennon said.Deputies and Morgan Hill Police set up a perimeter and conducted a search—which included a K9 and helicopter—while ordering local residents to shelter in place, Glennon said. However, authorities did not find the suspect.Glennon said police later found out the suspect had stolen the Impala from a location in Santa Cruz by approaching the vehicle, and telling the driver that he had a gun and wanted the car. However, the victims did not see a firearm in the man’s possession.The suspect is described as a white male, about 35 years old, with shoulder-length brown hair, Glennon said.No injuries were reported in the alleged crime spree.Anyone with information about this incident can contact the Sheriff’s Office at (408) 299-2311.
