D.U.I. missed the line, 5/25/12 At just after midnight, police on patrol noticed a car swerving in and out of traffic, then attempting to stop at the signal at Rheem Boulevard and Moraga Road, but failing to stop at the limit line. Presumably the driver noticed the cops, because upon getting the green light, the car proceeded very slowly. The driver flunked field sobriety tests, with a blood alcohol level of 0.138%.
Broken fog light, D.U.I. 5/26/12 A Cadillac Escalade was on Miramonte Drive at 3 a.m. Cops noticed a broken fog light and pulled over the driver. The driver's red watery eyes, slurred speech and smell of alcohol was a heads up to police who placed the subject under arrest without incident and eventually took him/her to the Martinez Detention Facility.
Speeding & D.U.I. 5/27/12 Cruising along at 54 m.p.h. on Moraga Way near the Country Club, cops pulled over a 19-year-old at the bewitching hour - midnight. After flunking sobriety tests, and unable to locate a sober friend to drive him/her home, the driver was taken to Martinez Detention Facility. No glass slipper for this Cinderella.
False alarm, 5/28/12 Police responded to an audible alarm sounding at a Walford Drive home. Turns out the door leading to the garage was unlocked as well as the door leading into the house. Cops locked both doors, and checked the perimeter - all good. A neighbor mentioned the residents were out of town.
D.U.I., no slurpee for you, 5/28/12 A car drove into the 7-11 parking lot at 3:25 in the morning. Cops happened to be there and noticed his eau de alcohol cologne as he stepped out of the vehicle. With a blood alcohol level of 0.10%, just over the legal limit - and a records check that showed he was on probation for a prior D.U.I., he was arrested for probation violation along with drunk driving. Slow learner.
D.U.I. broken license plate light, 5/25/12 At 2:20 a.m. a Jeep was pulled over on Augusta Drive, for a broken license plate light - the officer noticed the smell of alcohol from the young driver. She eventually submitted to a breath test at the station which documented a 0.12% blood alcohol level. Dear old dad picked her up after she signed a notice to appear.
