El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells and County Supervisor candidate Amy Reichert call out San Diego County’s failure to fix homeless crisis.
SAN DIEGO – El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells has been calling out San Diego County for their “inequitable” distribution of motel vouchers, as El Cajon is clearly taking in the large majority of the county’s homeless.
Wells said the people being sheltered in his city are felons, and the police department has been receiving an increased number of calls from people reporting criminal activity at the motels where the vouchers are being used. Tuesday morning, Wells and County Board of Supervisors candidate District 4, Amy Reichert, held a joint press conference outside the San Diego County Administration building to call our county leadership’s failures on the crisis.

The lawsuit filed by Dolores Rosales alleged deputies used excessive force when they took her son, Marco Antonio Nápoles-Rosales, into custody in 2018. The court filing claimed the deputies used a stun gun, their body weight and a wrap-around restraint device to subdue Nápoles-Rosales, who was suspected of trespassing at a gas station.
