Outstanding warrant arrest, 1/30/13
Police arrested a 19-year-old woman on an outstanding warrant for forgery and breaking and entering. She was booked into Martinez Detention Facility where she was being held on $40,000 bail.
Drunk in public, 2/1/13
A 57-year-old woman was picked up by police on Brookwood Road, where she was charged with being drunk in public. She was already on probation, and was transported to Martinez Detention Facility.
Booming business, 2/3/13
A 24-year-old El Sobrante man was seriously injured making hash oil (a concentrated substance derived from marijuana) in a shed behind an Orinda Orchard Road residence. The shed exploded during the manufacturing process; the victim suffered extensive burns to his face, hands and body and was airlifted for treatment to the U. C. Davis burn center. The homeowner admitted cultivating marijuana and making the hash oil but told police he had authorization to do so. He could not back his claim in writing. Several marijuana plant samples were seized at the site, along with three PVC pipes, two pipe caps, and a CD ROM containing over 50 photos. The owner was released at the scene.
Old enough to know better, 2/5/13 Moraga Orinda Fire District personnel encountered a 75-year-old man near Miner Road and Camino Pablo. When Orinda police were called to the scene, they determined the subject's red, watery eyes, slurred speech, and difficulty standing unassisted pointed to a charge of drunk in public. A preliminary alcohol screening showed a 0.15 level of intoxication. His car was towed and he was arrested and transported to the police station where he was released to the custody of his wife. Bet this Valentine's Day celebration will be a tad frosty...
