The State : Sabotage of Ride Charged
The discovery that a children’s roller coaster at the Santa Clara County Fair had been sabotaged has led to the arrests of a 21-year-old man and a teen-ager for investigation of attempted murder and child endangerment, police reported. Metal pins connecting two cars on the Kiddie Roller Coaster apparently were removed after the ride was shut down, sheriff’s Sgt. Cary Colla said. The motive for the alleged tampering is unknown, he said. Brian Andrew Greneveld, 21, of Sunnyvale, is charged with attempted murder and child endangerment. Identical charges have been filed against a 16-year-old boy from San Jose who was not identified because he is a juvenile.
