Sonoma supervisor says his intent was wooing, not peeking
Taking the witness stand at his prowling trial, Sonoma County Supervisor Efren Carrillo said Thursday that he visited a neighbor in the middle of the night while wearing only underwear and socks in a bid to sweep her into bed - but never peeked into her windows to leer at her.
Carrillo admitted that his recollection of the July 13 incident in Santa Rosa, which threatened his once-ascendant career, was hazy and clouded by alcohol. He said, though, that he had been motivated only by a desire to drink more and charm his neighbor, though he had only spoken to her a few times.
"There's no excuse; there's no reasonable explanation," Carrillo, 33, told jurors who must decide if he is guilty of misdemeanor peeking. "It was my sense of arrogance, my sense of entitlement. Call it narcissism. Call it whatever you want."
Carrillo appeared stiff and nervous in the Santa Rosa courtroom. He blinked frequently as he addressed accusations that he looked into his neighbor's home and broke her bedroom window screen - a cell phone in one hand and two bottles of Pliny the Elder, the famed Sonoma County craft beer, in the other.
He explained that his girlfriend had dropped him off at his apartment at about 2 a.m., after a night of drinking at a nightclub. As he was getting out of her car, Carrillo said, he looked over and saw a light on at his neighbor's home, and decided that he wanted to "rekindle a relationship" over a few drinks.
