DAVID ALEXANDER DOLMATCH, (Welfare and Institutions Code Respondent. §§ 5 1 50 and 8 1 02) vvvvvvvvvvvv I, Pablo Donato, hereby declare as follows: 1. I am employed as a Police Officer by the Mountain View Police Department, ID No. D05 1 6. 2. On February 28, 2021, at approximately 11:47 a.m., I responded to 55 Fairchild Drive, Mountain View, 0n a welfare check after Respondent called the Mountain View Police t0 report that he was upset at his father and had two guns in this vehicle. When I arrived, I spoke with Respondent, Who told me that the guns were in his vehicle and he gave me permission t0 search the vehicle for the guns. I retrieved the items from the vehicle. They are described as: Declaration of Officer Pablo Donate 1 Y. Chavez KOOOQONUI-RUJNH NNNNNNNNNr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tt-thtr-tr-t OOQONUI-bUJNb-‘OKDOOQONUl-bUJNHO .308/AR-1- with Sniper Scope and a bi-pod attachment; Revolver Muzzleloader revolver; 470 rounds of .308 ammunition and 200 .36 caliber bullets; bullet-proof vest carrier; and 2 ceramic ballistic plates level 4. The weapons were taken into the custody 0f the Mountain View Police Department. 3. I then spoke with Respondent, Who told me that his father treated him wrong and he wanted his father t0 be punished. He stated that he would rather not be the one t0 punish his father but ifhe had n0 choice, he would d0 it himself. He said that he wanted t0 “cast” his father away and when I asked what he meant, he stated, “We had t0 wait and see.” Respondent further stated that he was prescribed medication for his bi-polar and schizophrenia conditions but had stopped taking the medication years ago. Respondent also stated that he was more than willing t0 see a mental health professional. Due t0 Respondent’s statements, possession 0f an assault- style rifle and a large quantity 0f ammunition and ceramic ballistic level 4 plates, as well as his self-described psychiatric diagnosis and his threats towards his father, I placed Respondent in custody pursuant t0 Welfare and Institutions section 5150 and he was transported t0 the Valley Medical Center Psychiatric Unit for evaluation and treatment. 4. Based upon the above, I believe return 0f the confiscated weapons would likely result in endangering Respondent and/or others. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct and that this declaration was executed 0n March_8, 2021, at Mountain View, California.
