Pipe dreams, 4/16/12 When report of a suspicious subject came in, Orinda police stopped a 49-year-old male driver. Said driver was found to have a pipe and white powder. Not being Frosty the Snowman, the pipe wasn't corn cob, it was glass, and the suspicious powder wasn't snow, but looked like methamphetamine. Tests showed it was methamphetamine. The subject, already on active probation, was arrested and booked; his car was towed.
All of the above, 4/16/12 A 27-year-old male pulled over for a traffic stop presented police with a California ID card instead of a license. He volunteered that his license was suspended for a variety of reasons - a) driving under the influence, b) not having insurance, c) expired auto registration and d) past parking violations. Police added an on-site arrest to his resume, the man was released at the site and his car towed.
Ringing in the rain, 4/11/12 A 22-year-old male was found walking barefoot in the rain in 40-50 degree weather, going door to door ringing door bells. His clothes were soaked, his speech was slurred, he reeked of alcohol and he didn't know what city he was in or how he got here (hint: it was Orinda). He admitted to police he drank "around ten drinks last night." He was arrested, transported and booked into Martinez Detention Facility, where he presumably dried out, inside and out.
