Lafayette Police Blotter
Is it on the "day old" shelf? 3/29/11 Going to "pick up" a couple things at Safeway usually means you pay for them. A customer who witnessed the shoplifting flagged down police and pointed out the perp. A store clerk signed a citizen's arrest; the suspect was cited and released and the items (meat and flowers valued at $19.64) were re-shelved. What could have been the start of a nice romantic dinner must have caused quite a bit of indigestion.

No stamp of approval, 3/19/11 Mailboxes continue to present a tempting target in Lafayette, this time on Monticello Road. Several were vandalized, one to the tune of $700. Only one resident (the one out $700) filed a police report.

Ripe for picking, 3/11/11-3/14/11 Some worm picked an Apple Mac computer book from the backseat of an unlocked car parked on Reliez Station Road. "I didn't think anyone would find it," said the former owner. Famous last words. Police have no leads.

Not a pretty yearbook picture, 3/18/11 A minor was caught on the grounds of Acalanes High School with less than an ounce of marijuana in his possession. Police photographed the suspect and had him sign a written statement.

Stooping to drink, 3/26/11 Police charged a minor with public intoxication when they found him on his front porch, slurred of speech and with suspiciously alcohol-tainted breath. He was later released to his mother.
