Orinda Police Blotter
You Passed (out) This Test, 9/2/11 Public drunkenness + probation violation = jail time at Martinez Detention Facility, especially when they've recorded a breathalyzer test of .19.

Double Duty Delinquency, 9/10/11 Police found the passenger/owner of a 2004 Jeep involved in a single car rollover to be intoxicated. The guy blew a .20. After being attended to by medical personnel, he was booked at Martinez Detention Facility. Good thing he wasn't driving. Oddly enough, the one who was driving fled the scene of the accident.

And yet again...9/20/11 Orinda Police pulled a driver over for a headlamp violation. They noted red, watery eyes and smelled alcohol; the driver obviously wasn't firing on all cylinders. Add to that the fact that he's a repeat offender-still on probation for a previous DUI. He submitted to two blood alcohol tests and was taken to Martinez Detention Facility.

RENT, 8/31/11 A woman tried to rent a house, using a false name and her ex's name. She paid by check, got keys and garage door openers and then moved in friends who were not on the rental agreement. She denied knowing anything about the false name even while carrying ID with the same false name. She also said she had power of attorney to sign for her ex. Ex said she'd tried that stunt before. Police believed the ex, and booked the woman into Martinez Detention Facility.
