High on more than life, 12/15/10 A car was stopped after midnight at the Orinda exit off of Highway 24 for expired registration tags. The officer on duty noticed that the driver displayed signs of being under a "central nervous system stimulant." A phlebotomist was called in at the late hour to draw blood. Mr. Giddy was taken to the detention facility in Martinez.
Accident + D.U.I., 12/15/10 A busy Wednesday night for the cops - a middle aged female was involved in a collision on El Camino Moraga and fled the scene. Police found her in her car parked in her driveway with a bottle of wine in her hand. Oddly enough, she displayed symptoms of alcohol intoxication. Turns out she was driving under a suspended license and was on probation for another D.U.I. incident.
Mystery man robber, 12/15/10 The manager on duty spied an unknown man in the back office of the True Value Hardware store. While he called the cops, the mystery man disappeared along with $474.00 in a bank bag. No one saw his stealthy get away.
Vandalism, 12/11/10 Sometime during the night an unknown suspect smashed the front window of a car parked in a Muth Drive driveway. Nothing was taken from the car - but there was $150 in damage. Can't win - even with nothing in sight. Short of wrapping your car in plastic or barbed wire, what's a car owner supposed to do?
