Area Man wishes Encinitas had a smoking ban

Man Pleads Guilty To North County Burglaries

An ex-convict who pleaded guilty to burglary after DNA evidence found on cigarette butts linked him to two North County break-ins was sentenced Thursday to four years in state prison.

Mark Stephen Rochambeau, 45, was arrested Feb. 20 on suspicion of burglarizing the "It's a Love Thing" boutique on Coast Highway in Encinitas last Dec. 1, and a San Marcos home on San Pablo Drive about 10 days later.

Sheriff's detectives testified at a preliminary hearing in April that they found cigarette butts at both locations that had the defendant's DNA.

Mark's a really nice guy.
That's probably why he didn't go down for life.
I hope he changes careers when he gets out.
For his sake & ours.

Had he been an illegal alien he would have been released and given an apology for his inconvience.

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
