A guy walks into a bank...and ends up walking into Lafayette P.D.
When he tried to open his first account at Bank of America, an employee told him that an account already existed under his social security number. Uh oh... That wasn't his doing. He also learned of an overdrawn Wells Fargo account using the very same social security number.
Busted at the Bus Stop, 07/01/11
A female suspect, blonde hair and blue eyes, was arrested for being drunk in public. Make that blonde hair and bloodshot eyes. She had, among other things, slurred speech and watery eyes. A background check showed the suspect was on court probation with a "consume no alcohol" clause. The police officer, not playing Santa to her clause, reined her in and jailed her.

A gardening truck was involved in a hit and run on Sweet Drive. A witness dug up the truck's license, and the driver and suspect vehicle were later weeded out. He was cited and released on misdemeanor hit and run.

Maybe he just forgot his reusable grocery bags, but a 36 year old male was caught putting store items into his jacket pockets at the Lafayette Safeway. He admitted he had no way to pay, so police arrested him and booked him into Martinez Detention Facility.

Someone shattered the front window on a vehicle parked in a Mt. Diablo Blvd. parking lot, causing $300 damage and stealing a black backpack. The backpack was later returned to the victim, contents intact. Unfortunately, that still leaves the broken window expenses. No eye witnesses, but there were security cameras.
