   VISTA, Calif. - A San Marcos man will fight charges he violated   
   the social host ordinance and resisted San Diego Sheriff’s   
   deputies when they arrested him on Jan. 25.   
      
   Jason Gonzales, 23, pleaded not guilty in Vista court to two   
   misdemeanor counts, which his attorney says he will fight   
   vigorously.   
      
   Deputies were dispatched to Gonzales' home after getting a 911   
   call from a woman who was crying before the line was   
   disconnected.  She gave them Gonzales' address on Borden Road   
   and when deputies arrived, they found what they described as a   
   large party going on.   
      
   Gonzales answered the door, but refused to give the deputies   
   access to the house to check for the woman.   
      
   In court, deputy district attorney Eva Kilamian told the   
   deputies' version of what happened.   
      
   "The defendant starts screaming and yelling at them and tries to   
   close the door. Right around this time, a crowd starts forming   
   inside the house and the crowd members start shoving their   
   cellphones in front of the deputies. They start pulling the   
   defendant back just as the deputies are trying to get the   
   defendant’s attention and get him out," she said.   
      
   Eventually, Gonzales was taken outside. Kilamian said that is   
   when he became violent with the deputies, punching and kicking   
   them.   
      
   A Taser was used by deputies to stop the struggle.   
      
   "It was my client against four or five policemen," said   
   Gonzales' attorney, Robert Tiangco. "The evidence is going to   
   show there definitely was excessive use of force in this case."   
      
   Tiangco said he will also prove his client did not serve alcohol   
   to minors.   
      
   "He has roommates, and they were in the privacy of their own   
   home, and the privacy of his friends," explained Tiangco, who   
   said his client had no control over who they invited over.   
      
   Cellphone video will likely be a large part of the case. Several   
   people at the party recorded videos and can be heard screaming,   
   "Where's the warrant?" and "Police brutality!"   
      
   10News interviewed neighbors who say the house where Gonzales   
   lives is a constant source of loud parties that disrupt the   
   neighborhood.   
      
   Gonzales has asked for a jury trial, which is set to begin April   
   28. Until then, he remains free on $20,000 bail.   
      
   Because both resisting arrest and violating the social host   
   ordinance are misdemeanors, the maximum sentence if convicted is   
   one year in jail.
