Moraga Police Blotter
Halloween hijinx, 10/31/12 The owner of a Chevrolet on Corte Santa Clara called police to report that sometime during the night on Halloween an unknown suspect smashed out the passenger side rear window. Estimated damage, about $200. Apparently the thrill of complimentary candy is not enough.

Bike stolen, 10/31/12 A Moraga Road apartment dweller parked his pick-up inside his garage around 9 p.m. on Halloween. When he got up the next morning to leave, someone had removed a mountain bike from the pick-up bed and several tools that were inside the cab through a smashed window.

Halloween D.U.I. 10/31/12 It was 10:30 at night when officers observed a car swerving all over the roadway on Moraga Way near School Street, followed by a non-injury collision at that intersection. Cops determined that the driver was under the influence and was arrested.

Campaign signs stolen, 10/30/12 Sometime during the early morning hours, a couple of political signs were taken from the front yard of a home on Madsen Court. Estimated value $16. No leads at this time.

Very loud party, 10/27/12 Party-goers were spilling out onto Eileen Court from a loud party. Police estimate there were 250 people at the house and in the dead end street. Turns out four tenants of the home were hosting. Cops asked them to gently suggest the party people leave. As a little remembrance of their visit, police gave the renters an official noise ordinance warning.

D.U.I. 10/24/12 A citizen reported what appeared to be a drunk driver near the Moraga Center at 6 p.m. Officers made contact with a 57-year-old exiting a local liquor store that matched the description given by the caller. Field sobriety tests were given and it was determined that with a 0.21 blood alcohol level, more than two and a half times the legal limit, that he should definitely not be driving. He was arrested and taken to the Martinez Detention Facility. Maybe he was thinking he wasn't quite happy enough at happy hour.
