| Published September 15th, 2010 | Lafayette Police Blotter | | | | Hot Pursuit, 8/22/10 A Walnut Creek resident led police on a high speed chase through Lafayette, Walnut Creek and Concord at speeds up to 80-100 miles per hour. The checkered flag came down as the "driver" crashed his vehicle and surrendered to authorities. Police were "shocked" to learn the driver was on parole until 2012 for Possession of a Controlled Substance for Sales. Parole clearly didn't stop the subject from going back into business as he was discovered to be in possession of 15 grams of individually wrapped bags of methamphetamine, scales, a pipe and $103 in small bills. Meth Man was off to the Martinez Detention Facility for booking.
More Meth, 8/26/10 Lafayette Police conducted a routine traffic stop on Mt. Diablo at First Street and discovered the Lafayette driver had an outstanding local warrant for his arrest. The subject was arrested and his GMC Utility Truck was searched. Police discovered 2.6 grams of methamphetamine in two separate baggies and the subject admitted to having the substance on his person. Bag Man was promptly offered a lift to MDF so he could enjoy some bread and water with Meth Man.
Stolen Van, 8/29/10 A 2005 Ford F150 van was stolen from the Union 76 gas station on Mt. Diablo Boulevard. The van had been parked and locked in a stall on the side of the business, the keys were removed and nobody had permission to take the van. A distinguishing feature of the van: the words "Creative Alterations" are written on both sides and on the back of the van. This could have a variety of meanings here in California.
Jewelry in the Glove Box, 8/29/10 A subject was stopped for a traffic violation at Deer Hill and Happy Valley and police learned he was on parole. A search led to the discovery of tools, gloves, ski masks and jewelry in the glove box. The driver and his passenger denied any knowledge about the jewelry and were transported to MDF. The jewelry was collected for safekeeping until the owner is identified. Who doesn't have an odd collection in the glove box? What's in yours?
