(San Andreas, CA) On 10/01/12 at 1:41 AM Calaveras Sheriff’s
Deputies were dispatched to Rosetti’s Bar on Highway 12 in Wallace for a
report of a physical altercation that resulted in gunfire. According to
preliminary statements the reported victim, Michael Hatterle (30) of
Wallace became involved in an argument with the bartender, Gregory
Stanley (40) of Valley Springs. The argument turned into a physical
fight outside in the bar’s parking lot. While outside, Mr. Hatterle was
reportedly knocked to the ground. As he stood up and looked at Suspect
Stanley he saw Stanley holding a handgun. He then saw the gun muzzle
flash and felt warm air rush by his side. Sometime during these events a
second suspect, Lorna Greenroot (33) of Burson, who was holding some
sort of pipe, approached and threatened to strike Mr. Hatterle with the
pipe if he did not leave. Mr. Hatterle immediately left the area in his
vehicle and called the sheriff’s office for assistance. Mr. Hatterle
suffered a minor injury to his arm during this incident. The two
suspects fled the scene prior to the arrival of the deputies.
Sheriff’s Detectives were called to the scene to take over the
investigation. During the investigation it was determined that Suspect
Stanley fired one cartridge from a 9mm handgun in the direction of the
victim. The bullet did not strike the victim, but it was thought that a
ricochet from the bullet striking the ground possibly struck the victim
in the arm causing a minor laceration.
On the afternoon of October 1, 2012 detectives spotted Suspect
Stanley driving a vehicle with Suspect Greenroot on Highway 12 in the
Wallace area. The detectives conducted a traffic stop on the suspects’
vehicle and took both subjects into custody. At the time of Suspect
Stanley’s arrest the detectives found a loaded 9mm handgun concealed
inside a pocket of his trousers.
Suspect Gregory Stanley was booked into the Calaveras County Jail on
the charges that he violated California Penal Codes 664/187: Attempted
Murder (felony) and 25850 (a): Carrying a Loaded Firearm in Public
(Misdemeanor).
Suspect Lorna Greenroot was booked into the Calaveras County Jail on
the charges that she violated California Penal Codes 245 (a)(1):
Assault with a Deadly Weapon (felony) and 422: Criminal Threats
(felony).
At the time of this press release neither suspect has provided a statement to the investigators.
