Trick, no treat 10/28/13 Sometime during the night, unknown suspects sprayed large blue and white block letters in the bowl portion of the Moraga skate park. Damage is estimate at $500. No suspects or leads at this time. Police report doesn't spell out the vandal's message, but surely it was worth getting arrested over.
Loud dog, 10/27/13 An anonymous reporting person advised police that a dog had been barking for approximately six hours in an Ascot Drive apartment. Upon arrival at nearly 1 a.m. police didn't hear the barking dog. Did the poor fellow bark himself out?
Slow learner, 10/26/13 Police pulled over a Dodge pick-up truck for failing to stop at the posted stop sign on Camino Pablo at Hodges Drive around 11 p.m. Turns out the 46-year-old male driver had a driver's license that was suspended due to a prior DUI. The car was left locked and the gentleman, who was cited, called a friend for a ride, because he isn't allowed to drive.
Post bumped, 10/26/13 A Black Chevrolet SUV backed into a concrete post at Joaquin Moraga Middle School in the middle of the afternoon. The paved base of the post buckled and now the post is tilted. The unknown female driver got out of her car, looked at the damage, then left the scene. Police are currently investigating because the woman's license plate number was noted.
Driving while very intoxicated, 10/26/13 Moraga Police stopped an Infiniti at 2 a.m. on Donald Drive near Carroll Drive for speeding. The 33-year-old driver smelled suspiciously like alcohol. Upon taking field sobriety tests, his blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit at 0.233 percent. This was not his first brush with the law, the fellow's driver's license was suspended due to a prior DUI. His car was towed and he was taken to the Martinez Detention Facility. Like déjà vu all over again, except worse.
Mysterious stinky package at SMC, 10/24/13 Mailroom workers at Saint Mary's College discovered a padded envelope with what they describe as a "foul odor." The package was delivered to the campus Public Safety office, personnel there called the Moraga Police. What could it be inside? No need for the bomb squad. Cops wisely contacted the addressee, and determined that the package contained smoked trout. At the request of the recipient the package was disposed of by campus Public Safety staff. Perhaps best to stick with cookies, new socks, or even better - a shiny new check.
