A Central Coast mother is accused of showing up at her son’s pee wee football game drunk and armed with a gun; her actions now leading to an emergency meeting to talk about beefed-up security at youth football games.
Salinas police say Alejandrea Rocha, 36, took a gun to her son's game Sunday morning at Alvarez High School. That game was between the Alvarez Titans and the Watsonville Jr. Wildcatz.

The police were called immediately, and it was handled appropriately at that time,” said Brian Johnson, the chief of security for the Monterey Bay Youth Football League (MBYFL).
Police say Rocha was being escorted off school grounds for being belligerent. Witnesses told police she was yelling at her son. While being escorted out, Rocha at one point asked to use the restroom, where police say the gun fell out.
Johnson, who is also the spokesman for the Salinas police department, didn’t know if the gun was loaded.
“There were no threats made to another person … the charges are of having a gun on school grounds, she never threatened anyone, never pointed it at anyone; there was never any immediate danger,” said Johnson.
But the event triggered an emergency meeting Monday night with presidents of each football team discussing tighter security measures. Among the measures being considered — the implementation of a clear bag rule and private security.

We do have to make things safe… I know the school district is probably going to address it with us, but we are going to take steps moving forward to enhance security,” said Johnson.
Johnson said if any new security measures are approved, they would go into effect for next Sunday’s games.
Attendance at NFL games is starting to look like Russian Roulette.
This was pee wee football.
“...there was never any immediate danger,” said Johnson.”
It wasn’t an immediate danger...but the cops don’t even know if it was loaded or not?
Nimrods.
There were undoubtably a couple hundred more people prepared to defend themselves if necessary. So what?

I know, I’m just saying that a Patriots fan was beaten to death Sunday night and the behavior at some of the pro games is getting wild also.
Sorry, you are going to have to find another example. There was no beaten to death.

Maybe she thought she would run into someone who she was threatened by. Or just another sad addled brain alcoholic acting like a fool. She’s gonna’ need a gps chip inserted in her scalp.
