The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a motorcyclist who endangered children on the San Marcos High School campus.
On Thursday, August 19, 2021 at approximately 12:20 p.m., a motorcyclist drove onto campus and through a crowd of students during lunch break.
The motorcyclist was recorded on security footage and by staff who quickly photographed the incident on their cell phones. The motorcycle is described as a blue and white 2019 Yamaha YZ250F with a “54” front and rear number plates. The rider was wearing a dark-colored motocross style helmet and a gray hooded sweatshirt with a Mammoth California logo across the front, gray sweatpants and black vans.
Anyone with information about the identity of the motorcyclist is encouraged to contact the San Marcos High School Resource Deputy Sean Hampton at (805)681-4100. If you prefer to remain anonymous, you can provide information by calling our tip line at (805)681-4171 or online at SBSheriff.org.
Probably a senior. This happened at my high school many times. If he wasn’t trying to hurt anybody or didn’t almost hurt someone – not sure why this is front page news. If he’s not a student – find who he is and shew him away. Against the rules for a student of course – but it’s not like we don’t have active gangs in town and aggressive homeless – higher priorities.
Stuff like this happened all the time in high school.
I bet most of the students thought it was cool!
There are so many of these jackasses riding these dirt bikes or pocket rockets endangering public safety. You see them all the time mainly on the freeways.
When I was at Dos Pueblos back in the seventies a trio of senior girls on horseback with bandanas over their faces rode like banshees all over the campus and were gone like the wind
lol some of you people….you guys really forgot what it felt like to be young.
bottom line. so what. this isn’t news, nor is it news worthy. all 3 of my kids attend SMHS, none of them nor their friends were concerned, in fact it was pretty exciting and funny hearing it from all of them. no one was hurt nor would anyone get hurt. it’s just a senior having some fun. loosen up a bit….sheesh
My son’s response “whatever, we were wondering if it was a teacher who was running late.” Not a big deal to him.
