Standing while drunk, 11/23/10 A middle-aged gentleman was standing in front of CVS store making rude and aggressive remarks to passers by. He showed objective signs of intoxication and had a blood alcohol content more than twice the legal limit. Deemed unable to care for himself - he was arrested. Maybe he was celebrating in a cranky way, "Because it's Tuesday" - apologies to Davidson and Licht.
D.U.I., 11/22/10 A 69-year-old woman was driving on Camino Sobrante at almost 11:00 p.m. when she ran off the roadway and struck a house. She was confused and still in the driver's seat when police arrived. Officers noted red watery eyes and slurred speech and arrested her. Lucky she didn't end up in Lake Cascade.
Drunk in public, 11/20/10 A different middle-aged man was staggering around Brookwood Road, something out of the ordinary for Orinda. 'Tis the season - apparently. The cop questioning him had to hold him up to keep him from falling over. He had an open 12-pack of beer next to him on the ground. "I drink all the time," said the fellow. He also had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear - so he was arrested and bail was set at $20,000.
Nursery robbed, 11/18/10 An unknown suspect smashed a window panel on the front door of McDonnell Nursery. Petty cash from the register was taken and the office was ransacked. No information as yet on missing plants and pots.
