Moraga Police Blotter
Driving post-D.U.I., 4/02/11 Near the intersection of Camino Pablo at Rimer an Acura was pulled over for having a broken tail light. The 40-year-old Moraga resident showed the officer his expired driver's license. A routine check showed his license was suspended for a prior D.U.I. He was cited and released. Big no no.

Girls behaving badly, 4/01/11 At about 10:00 p.m. officers who were providing security for the Teen Dance at the New Rheem Theatre were notified of a physical fight involving between six and nine teenage girls in the lobby. Cops observed one teen girl being dragged outside by her hair, while another girl appeared to be hitting her with a closed fist. Both the suspect and the victim fled the scene and could not be located.

And again that same night, 4/01/11 Police saw a boy and girl walking near Moraga Road and noticed the girl appeared to be intoxicated. The 14-year-old young lady admitted to drinking before the aforementioned teen dance. Cops called her dad to pick her up. They were informed of the Town of Moraga Juvenile Diversion Program and agreed to sign up.

D.U.I., 3/31/11 A Dodge Ram was pulled over for making a left turn onto Camino Pablo from Canyon Road without using his signal. The 44-year-old male driver seemed drunk, so police did a blood alcohol test. The legal limit to drive is .08, but his reading came back at .177, so he was taken into custody.

Possession of Pot, 3/31/11 Cops noticed a Ford Explorer that had a broken rear brake light. Turns out the 21-year-old driver had 8 grams, less than an ounce, of marijuana in the car. What he didn't have was proof of insurance, a driver's license, or a medical marijuana card. He was cited for all three - the pot, the insurance and the license. The pot was taken back to the police department and logged into evidence.
