Watermelon bombing, 6/01/15 Some creative fruit-loving vandals tossed approximately six medium size watermelons onto a parked car and front yard on Willow Springs Lane. Although there was a fair amount of watermelon debris, no damages to the vehicle or house occurred. The homeowner had no idea who, or why someone would do this.
Fake letter from the IRS 6/02/15 A School Street resident came to the police department to report a suspicious letter she received from what she believes is the Internal Revenue Service. The letter said it appeared that someone may have submitted a fraudulent tax return, which would allow them to receive a refund check. The letter also requested extensive personal information and an affidavit. Legit or not legit, that is the question.
Child endangerment 6/05/15 Incident was all about a child custody order violation. The reporting person, a man, was scheduled to pick up his son at school, but his ex-girlfriend, the child's mother, picked up their kid prior to the dad's arrival. Police checked records and found that the mom had an outstanding felony vandalism warrant in San Francisco. Cops went to the ex-girlfriend's home, where she refused to open the door, so police had to force entry. She then fought with officers while they attempted to take her into custody. The child was released to the dad, and the ex-girlfriend was charged with felony child endangerment, resisting arrest, and the outstanding felony warrant. She was taken to the county jail.
DUI 6/06/15 A 23-year-old driver was pulled over at Rheem Boulevard near Center Street at almost 2:30 a.m. for speeding. Cops noticed objective signs of alcohol intoxication. When the driver flunked field sobriety tests, he was arrested for DUI.
Teenager vomiting 6/06/15 Cops responded to an alleged rugby party on Country Club Drive, and found a 16-year-old who appeared to be intoxicated, sitting on the sidewalk and vomiting. She was picked up by her mother. While cops were waiting for the mom to arrive, approximately 50 juvenile party goers "disbursed" from the residence. The kids that didn't take off were picked up by their parents or sober friends. The parent who was hosting the party was issued a Town of Moraga Warning Notice for a loud or unruly party.
Teen driving trouble, 6/06/15 Shortly after the party broke up, a 16-year-old was contacted by police nearby. The driver initially denied having consumed any alcohol, but revised her statement before submitting to a breathalyzer which showed a 0.03 blood alcohol level. The subject surrendered her three-day-old driver's license, and will likely be getting a one-year suspension. While 0.03 is under the legal limit of 0.08, the driver was under 21 and, in theory, shouldn't have been drinking at all.
