he planned to kill himself. He told her that if police officers arrived he would force them to shoot him. According to the board’s agenda, Kend- rick sat on a small patch of grass and placed the shot- gun to his chin. A neighbor attempted to talk him out of it and Kendrick threatened to shoot the neighbor. Deputy Block, a three-year veteran on the force, arrived on the scene and took cover at a nearby garage. The incident was cap-
tured on video by a neighbor, who later posted the video on YouTube. In it, Block is heard shouting “get back” and “cover me.” Several shots were fired. A woman’s voice, likely Kendrick’s wife, can be heard shouting, “you killed him. He’s dying.” According to the board’s
report, before the video, Block had ordered Kendrick to drop his weapon. Kendrick aimed the shotgun at Block, which prompted the deputy to shoot six rounds, killing him. A toxicology report showed Kendrick’s blood alcohol level was .28 percent at the time of his death. Dorian Hargrove
St. Louis sues Rams and NFL Could San Diego sue? Doubtful. St. Louis, St. Louis County, and the local Regional Convention and Sports Complex are suing the National Football League, 32 of its teams, and some own- ers individually over the departure of the Rams to Los Angeles 15 months ago. The fraudulent misrepre-
sentation charges specifi- cally cite Rams owner Stan Kroenke for saying things like “I’m going to attempt to do everything I can to keep the Rams in St. Louis” — a state- ment from 2010. In 2014, the executive vice president of the Rams allegedly said that there was a “one-in- a-million chance” that the Rams would leave St. Louis. San Diego lawyer Bruce
Henderson sued the city of San Diego in the mid-1990s,

claiming that the team, which was then threaten- ing to move unless it got a rehabbed stadium, was vio- lating its contractual terms with the city. “We were fought tooth and nail by the city, the Union-Tribune, you name it,” says Henderson. He lost the suit. Henderson doubts that
San Diego could use the same legal strategy as St. Louis. In 2002, the city wanted to get rid of the unpopular 60,000-seat guarantee, which obligated the city to pay when seats were not filled. In return, then-mayor Dick Murphy and former city attorney Casey Gwinn “rewrote the contract to give the Char- gers the absolute right to leave San Diego,” says Hen- derson, and the team’s rent was slashed by $90 million. In return, the team dropped the 60,000 seat guarantee, which had only two years to run. The end result was that the Chargers essentially were being paid to play in the city. Don Bauder
Fisher bids adieu to $1.2 million SDSU basketball coach dictates successor Given last month’s abrupt demise of Balboa Park’s Hall of Champions, retiring San Diego State University head basketball coach Steve Fisher will have to settle for the virtual Valhalla of the heart that the city’s well- moneyed sports establish- ment reserves for its trium- phal heroes, though he gets to keep their money. Fisher, now 72, arrived
in town 18 seasons ago, two years after his ouster by the University of Michigan amid a scandal involving freebies provided to well-heeled boosters. Word around San Diego was that Fisher, hired here in 1999, was obtained on the relative cheap by SDSU, but his financial status changed as he revamped the school’s basketball program, in the process making friends with wealthy university donors

who have increasingly sup- plemented his state salary. As of 2015, Fisher’s
total state pay and ben- efits totaled $386,167, per the website Transpar- ent California. Additionally, university
donors kicked in so-called supplemental compen- sation of $767,832, per SDSU records, raising Fish- er’s yearly grand total to $1,153,999. Other consideration
included an agreement by the university to announce in 2011 “that Associ- ate Head Coach Brian Dutcher will be named the ‘Head-Coach-in-Waiting.’” Dutcher is a longtime
Fisher associate dating back to their days together in Michigan.

Hedgecocks sue city over sidewalk slip
Silicone breast implants ruptured
Cynthia Hedgecock and her husband, Roger Hedgecock, former mayor and retired radio talk show host, have sued the city in Superior Court over an accident. The city was served with the suit in November and a spokes- man for the city attorney’s office said the suit will prob- ably go to trial in the second half of this year. According to the suit,
Mrs. Hedgecock tripped and “came crashing to the ground” on “a poorly main- tained sidewalk” on July 31 of 2015. The sidewalk was on Morrell Street approach- ing Grand Avenue. “Mrs. Hedgecock suffered
serious personal injuries,” according to the suit. “Mrs. Hedgecock’s breasts were irreparably damaged.” She learned in early September of 2015 that “both of her silicone breast implants had ruptured.... “In addition to the injuries
suffered by Mrs. Hedgecock, plaintiff Roger Hedgecock has suffered the loss of sup- port, service, love, compan- continued on page 69
