No no driving, 10/07/11 All it took was a failure to use a turn signal on Moraga Road near School Street. The 43-year-old driver told the officer that his driver's license was suspended for three or four DUI's. Turns out he was telling the truth, so he was arrested for suspended license for prior DUI and violation of probation. The car was towed away.
Party busted, 10/07/11 Approximately 150 party-goers were celebrating something on Corte Gabriel at 11:30 p.m. The female homeowner was issued a warning notice that she had to sign and was counseled about the repercussions of having another party. Guests were cooperative and decided it was a good time to call it a night.
Parking and pot mid-street, 10/09/11 It wasn't even 9:00 p.m. when cops checked on a silver BMW 328i parked in the middle of Corliss Drive near Lynwood with the engine running and flashers on. Hmmmm, the 16-year-old driver thought she was parked at the curb. Contraband bonanza in the car - over ten grams of marijuana, one bottle that was mostly full of Vodka and one closed bottle of wine. Driver and her two girlfriends were cited for multiple offenses - driving on a restricted teen driver's license, possession of pot, open container, and being under 21 in possession of alcohol in a car. Parents were called to pick up the party girls, and the car was re-parked correctly by the surely cranky registered owner.
Burglary 10/08/11 Personal electronic items disappeared from the inside of a Sandringham Drive South home. Value of items is approximately $1100. No leads at this time. The same home had been burgled in July while the homeowner was away for the weekend.
Domestic Dispute, 10/10/11 Three family members were fighting at a Woodford Drive home. Police were called when the yelling started. Cops talked to the argue-ees who said they will resolve the issue without causing a disturbance. No details on the nature of the brouhaha were given, it was a family matter. No evidence of a physical confrontation.
D.U.I., 10/07/11 Cops pulled over a BMW on Moraga Way after it was observed driving erratically and going 58 mph in a 35 mph zone. The 33-year-old driver had red, watery eyes, spoke with slow slurred speech and smelled like alcohol. Officers figured he was three for three and gave him a field sobriety test - which he flunked.
