April Fools' Party, 4/01/13 No joke for a Miramonte Drive resident. Although there were only seven people in the home, apparently they were making a lot of noise at 10:30 p.m. and drinking alcoholic beverages. The resident was issued an Unruly Party Warning Notice, and the festivities promptly ended.
Kids on the roof, 4/01/13 Cops were called to Los Perales Elementary School on a report of three subjects on the roof. Upon arrival, cops looked around and were unable to locate the subjects.
Can you pull over? 4/01/13 A sedan veered off the roadway and into a ditch. Apparently the driver was actually aiming for a driveway, but lost control of the car on the wet street. One of the elderly passengers needed to use the restroom. There were no injuries and a tow truck was able to un-ditch the car stuck off of Canyon Road.
Annoying protesters, 4/01/13 April Fools' prank or free speech? A group of LaRouche protesters set up shop on the sidewalk in front of the Post Office. They had posters and were handing out flyers. An anonymous caller reported they "were not setting a good example for the kids who live in Moraga." Because they were engaging in constitutionally protected free speech, there was no violation. Cops suggested they shop in the area to contribute to the local economy.
Not sewing needles, 3/31/13 Two 22-year-olds were parked in a car on Camino Ricardo at Whiting Court flicking their cigarette ashes out the window. Police approached them and could smell booze, so they were given field sobriety tests. Jackpot; a search of the car found several methamphetamine pipes, aluminum foil used to smoke oxydocone, a clonazepan tablet and three hypodermic needles.
Driving with suspended license, 3/30/13 A silver Mercedes was stopped on Moraga Road near Donald Drive for speeding - going 49 in a 35 zone. The 22-year-old driver had a suspended license for D.U.I. The fellow was arrested and released at the scene after signing a Promise to Appear. His father happened to be in the car, so he took the wheel and drove them home.
