Orinda Police Blotter
Drunk in Public, 9/22/10 At roughly 3:00 a.m. where the BART trail intersects with Camino Pablo, officers noticed a gentleman stumbling as he was walking. They could smell alcohol on him and asked if he was drunk. Cutting to the chase, he said "yes." Maybe it was due to his swaying or his .17 blood alcohol level, but he was determined to be a danger to the citizens of the area and was taken to the Martinez Detention Facility for booking.

Gas leak, 9/22/10 A cement company employee was operating a backhoe on a construction project on Moraga Way when it struck a small supporting gas line. Out of an abundance of caution, homes were evacuated.

Double dipping, 9/16/10 Not one, but two unlocked cars parked in a Hillcrest Drive driveway were broken into. A gold chain and pendant were taken from a GMC truck and three silver trays were taken from the adjacent Hyundai. Sounds like an ad for Doublemint gum, two robberies in one.

D.U.I. 9/18/10 A car was pulled over on the Camino Pablo off-ramp off of Highway 24 at just after midnight. The driver of the Toyota gave a blood sample than confirmed he was driving under the influence. Sadly the very brief police report gave no other details for this reporter to work with. Adjectives, adverbs welcomed.
