Probably dazed and confused, 5/29/12 Police say a 50-year-old male showed objective signs of intoxication. His BAC level was 0.28, which confirmed their suspicions. He was also found to have a small bag of brown powder, which turned out to be heroin instead of brown sugar. He was arrested for being drunk in public, and taken to Martinez where he was booked into the detention facility.
Suspicious person, 5/22/12 A 22-year-old male walking along Orinda Way was found to have a trio of syringes on his person and a small metal spoon which was considered drug paraphernalia. As he was on probation in Alameda County, he was arrested and his "under the influence" souvenirs were retained as evidence.
Learned your lesson yet? 5/22/12 A 50-year-old male learned his lesson the hard way when police discovered him parked at Wagner Ranch Elementary School way after hours (12:45 a.m.) and in possession of an open bottle of port wine. His preliminary alcohol screening showed an intoxication level of 0.078 and 0.077. He was also on probation. He was arrested, transported to Martinez Detention Facility and his vehicle was towed.
Beating the bushes, 5/17/12 You can lie in the bushes, but you can't hide from a charge of Public Drunkenness. That's the lesson one 56-year-old male found when he was discovered near Rite Aid Pharmacy. Even with bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and a gait so wobbly he used the police cruiser to steady himself, the man still refused to take a preliminary alcohol screening. He was arrested for public drunkenness and probation violation, and transported to Martinez Detention Facility.
