John A. Grima was mentioned in the San Francisco Chronicle on 21 April 1969: Escape With Hostages -- Guard Is Shot at S.F. Judge's Home -- Dramatic Capture Of Suspect By Tim Findley
A policeman guarding the home of Superior Court Judge Bernard Giickfeld was shot and seriously wounded last night by a gunman apparently looking for the judge.
The gunman commandeered a passing car and took its five occupants hostage in making his escape from Glickfeld’s home in St Francis Wood. A suspect identified as Grant Richard Powell, 24, of 4154 Piedmont avenue. Oakland. was captured by highway patrolmen in Gilroy at 9:55 p m.. 3 hours after the shooting. Authorities in Gilroy said the hostages were unharmed. Giickfeld and his family were on an outing in Redwood City at the time of the shooting. The wounded officer, Patrolman Jay Rogovoy. 30, was in satisfactory condition after undergoing surgery at Mission Emergency Hospital for wounds in the neck, side and hand...
Rogovoy was detailed to guard Glickfeld because the judge had received death threats after giving an admitted rapist a lenient sentence April 11.
It was not immediately know whether Poill made any of those threats. But his hostages told police last night that Powell repeated over and over, ‘‘the judge, is against me and that policeman was against me.” The five hostages, held at gunpoint, during a tense hour with Powell, were identified as John Grima, 21, the driver; Mary Ann Larieca, 19; Yolanda Santana, 19; Maria Santana,18, and Martha Vega, 19, all of San Francisco. Police discovered after arresting Powell that his gun, a chrome. pearl-handed .22 calber revolver, was empty. All six shots had apparently been fired in the exchange with Rogovoy. Grima was credited with juick thinking in leading police to the capture. He told authorities that Powell, riding in the back seat of the auto, told him to “keep cool, and just keep heading south.”
A short distance north of Gilroy, Grima noticed a Highway Patrol car on routine patrol behind him. Without signaling, Giima deliberately changed lanes. Patrolman Lou Blake, seeing what he thought was a traffic violation, pulled Grima’s car over. Despite Powell’s warning to Grima to “play it cool.” Grima managed to whisper to Blake that the four young people were being held at gunpoint. Blake told Giima to drive on into Gilroy, while the patrolman alerted other authorities.
TRAP: Just inside the city, Highway Patrol and Gilroy Police cars converged to stop Grima’s vehicle. Powell, sitting passively with a coat covering his pistol, surrendered without resistance. Police said, however, that he refused to talk about the shooting incident...
The dramatic series of events began about 6 p.m. last night. Officer Rogovov was staked out in a marked police radio car outside Glickfeld’s home when a man he later described as “very nervous" approached and asked where Judge Glickfeld’s house was located. Rogovoy suspicious, inquired why the man wanted that information. The suspect then pulled out his revolver and ordered Rogovoy to show him the house. The officer was ordered to kick the door down if you have to." Rogovoy complied, kicking the door down. Once the two were inside, the policeman was told to lie face down in spread-eagle fachion on the floor of the dining room.
A neighbor. Wilson W. Morrison. alarmed by the noise of the front door being smashed in. ran to the Glickfield home. Police said Rogovoy shouted “Get out, get out” to the elderly Morrison, and the gunman, distracted momentarily, turned back toward the door. Rogovoy sensing an opportunity, reached for his service revolver as Morrison bolted back out the door and off the porch, suffering a broken ankle in the fall. The gunman had apparently seen Rogovoy’s move, however, and fired first.
The exchange of shot followed in whicn tne Officer was wounded three times and Powell once. Two other bullets from the suspect’s gun were found imbedded in the dining room wall. Police said Rogovoy, seriously wounded, fired five shots at the fleeing gunman. Outside, the gunman raced to the corner of El Verano and Monterey boulevard in view of several neighbors who had gone to their windows after hearing the shots. The witnesses said Powell tried to stop the first passing car lie saw. but its driver sped away. The next auto, Grima’s, stopped when the suspect ran into the street pointing his gun at the driver The suspect got in and forced the driver to go east on Monterey boulevard..
