DISTRICT ATTORNEY URSULA JONES DICKSON ANNOUNCES CHARGES FOLLOWING DANGEROUS DRIVING INCIDENT ON BAY BRIDGE
May 7, 2026
Oakland, CA — Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson announced today that charges have been filed against Jose Mendoza (30) in connection with the May 3, 2026, dirt bike and off-road vehicle sideshow on the Bay Bridge.
According to investigators, officers assigned to a sideshow enforcement detail attempted to detain a group of illegal dirt bike and off-road vehicle riders operating unlawfully on the bridge. During the operation, a portion of the roadway was temporarily closed to safely contain the riders and protect the public.
Authorities allege that one rider, identified as Mendoza, drove recklessly within the blocked-off section of the bridge at high speed while marked California Highway Patrol vehicles pursued him. Officers reported that Mendoza drove with willful and wanton disregard for the safety of officers and the public, despite numerous law enforcement personnel being on foot in the immediate area.
Investigators further allege that after Mendoza slowed down and officers attempted to detain him, he resisted arrest by refusing commands, attempting to flee, and attempting to strike an officer during the encounter.
“This conduct created an extremely dangerous situation for law enforcement officers and snarled traffic on the Bay Bridge,” said District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson.
The defendant has been charged with two counts of felony evasion and one misdemeanor count of battery on a police officer. At the time of this incident, Mr. Mendoza was on felony probation, and a petition to revoke probation based upon these allegations has been filed.

DA URSULA JONES DICKSON SECURES $3.8 MILLION JUDGMENT
Includes Permanent Injunction Against Medical Providers
March 26, 2026
OAKLAND, CA — Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson announced today that the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, has entered a default judgment imposing $3.8 million in civil penalties and a permanent injunction against Trovato Medical Group, Inc., American Expert Doctors, Inc., Saloojas Inc., and Parmjit M. Singh for unlawful and misleading billing practices related to COVID-19 testing and vaccination services.
According to the complaint, defendants provided COVID-19 testing and vaccination services to tens of thousands of patients at a Newark clinic between 2020 and 2023. Despite advertising these services as “free,” defendants allegedly attempted to bill patients up to $1,000 per test or vaccination, in violation of California’s statutory ban on charging patients for Covid-19 testing and vaccinations.
The complaint further alleges that defendants aggressively pursued payment from patients, including efforts to collect on these charges despite representing at the time of service that no out-of-pocket costs would be incurred.
The Court granted the People’s request for a permanent injunction prohibiting defendants, and anyone acting in concert with them, from engaging in false or misleading advertising or unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practices.
Jones Dickson said, “The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office is committed to protecting consumers, enforcing the law, and ensuring fairness and accountability in the marketplace. During a public health crisis, residents should not be misled or pressured into paying for services that were represented as free. This judgment holds the defendants accountable and protects consumers from unlawful billing practices.”
