Drug sales with reptile, 3/04/16 A 1993 black Mercedes-Benz was pulled over just after midnight for having a tail light out. Turns out the 28-year-old male driver and his Bearded Dragon had a fair amount of pot in the car (364 grams), along with a small amount of suspected Hash, 14 green Clonazepam tables and a digital scale. The subject and his pet were taken to the Moraga Police Department where he was arrested for sales of a controlled substance. The Bearded Dragon was later picked up by Contra Costa County Animal Services for safekeeping.
Car vs. pole, 3/03/14 An honest citizen came to the police department to report that a family member had been driving an older Subaru when it went off the roadway and struck a speed limit sign pole, resulting in some damage to the pole but no injuries to the driver. The person reporting the incident made arrangements to pay to replace the damaged pole - which will set him back about $450.
Party on! 3/01/14 There was a complaint about noise on usually quiet Donald Drive. Officers contacted the homeowners who said they were hosting a party for high school students involved in a sports program. After the homeowner received a Town of Moraga Loud Party Ordinance notice, no further complaints were made.
Minor hit and run, 2/28/14 In front of Subway in the Rheem Shopping Center a witness reported to police that he had seen a male juvenile driver of a silver Honda Pilot back into a woman's car - which was also a Honda Pilot. The bump-er driver got out of his car, looked at the damaged vehicle then left the scene without leaving notice. The 16-year-old was later identified, along with his parents, and was contacted by the cops. Both cars sustained minor damage.
Smoking while parked, 2/26/14 It was around midnight at the quiet dead end of Paseo Grande, where officers noticed a suspicious vehicle and could smell the odor of burnt marijuana coming from the car. Three of the four juvenile occupants were assigned to participate in the Moraga Juvenile Diversion Program. Note to teens: cops are well aware of all the hang out spots in town and visit them regularly.
Trouble with tree guys, 2/25/14 A Scofield Place resident hired a tree service to remove two large trees from his property. The workers allegedly damaged the roof of his residence and cement walkway while removing the trees. The fellow reporting the incident has spoken with the company owner because the employees stopped working and have not returned. Over the course of three weeks his dispute with the company has not been resolved - one of the trees has not been removed and the damage has not been repaired.
