A Blanket Excuse...11/28/11 A woman burglarizing an Orinda home must have found the back bedroom closet just right, because that's where the homeowner found her. He ordered her out of the house, and she complied. Police were called and found the suspect walking eastbound on Glorietta Blvd, wrapped in a blanket from the burgled house! The suspect was positively ID'd in the field and taken to Martinez Detention Facility.
Nothing to be Thankful for, 11/23/11 Police investigating a suspicious subject just before Thanksgiving found a man acting as a door to door magazine salesman. When questioned, he said he had no ID. He didn't have a sales permit either, so police searched his person and found a wallet with paperwork identifying him as a parolee from Texas. He was booked into Martinez Detention Facility. The personal check also on his person (a magazine sale?) was returned to its rightful owner.
Smells Like Teen Spirit, 11/22/11 Police stopped a car carrying four men. Since there was a strong odor of marijuana, a search was conducted. They found (wait for it...) marijuana. The car's 19-year old driver was cited and released.
Man About Town, 11/21/11
A 44 year old male was stopped in a truck belonging to someone known to have a suspended license. Sure enough the truck...er, its driver, is in trouble! Although he produced a valid California ID, he was driving with a suspended license. Come to think of it, after police ran a vehicle check, the guy is a repeat customer, logging four counts of driving/suspended license in seven months. He was arrested and transported to Martinez Detention Facility, where he was booked. Somebody with a valid license drove him there.
