Moraga Police Blotter

D.U.I. 8/30/14 A 52-year-old Orinda resident was pulled over on Moraga Way at 6 p.m., after an officer observed the driver go through a nearby parking lot, park, then drink a beer while in the driver's seat. Arresting officer noted "the subject displayed objective signs of intoxication." After flunking field sobriety tests, the driver was taken to Moraga Police Department and then on to the Main Detention Facility in Martinez.

Gas hose goes bye-bye, 8/29/14 An adult customer put gas in her car at the Arco station on Moraga Road, then drove away from the pump with the hose still attached to her car. The hose disconnect function worked, so the hose separated from the pump without gas being spilled or the pump being damaged. The customer noticed her car's newest appendage and returned to the service station to supply the owner with insurance information and her license plate number.

Deceased person, 8/29/14 Cops responded to an apartment on a report of a possible overdose. The subject was lying in the kitchen and was pronounced dead at the scene. A number of hypodermic needles, a quantity of unknown pills and suspected heroin were found. The Coroner responded and removed the subject; cause of death is unknown, pending an autopsy.

Contraband on campus, 8/28/14 Moraga police received a head's up from Saint Mary's College public safety officers who had discovered a student who was in possession of a knife and suspected marijuana while on campus. The parties were interviewed and cops took possession of the items; the case was sent to the District Attorney's office for prosecution.

Elder fraud, 8/25/14 An 84-year-old Camino Ricardo grandma received a phone call from an unknown person who she believed was her grandson. The caller said he was involved in a traffic collision in Texas and was arrested for D.U.I. Alleged grandson requested money, and unfortunately grandma sent $1,700 via Western Union. It turns out that her actual grandson had not been in a recent accident or arrested in Texas.

Grand theft, 8/23/14 A Del Rio Way resident came to the police department to report that an unknown suspect had removed several items from an unoccupied home. Apparently thieves took $2,000 worth of staging furniture that was at the home while the house was for sale.
