Parked with pot, 1/18/2012 ....And no medical marijuana card. Two people were sitting in a car parked on Williams Drive after midnight, not a crime in Moraga, but unusual. An officer questioned the subjects, the driver admitted to possessing marijuana and gave the cop a package with 8.5 grams of the evil weed. A search netted an additional 3.11 grams. Driver was cited for possession of less than an ounce, the passenger ended up driving both of them home.
Hit and run, 1/18/2012 At approximately 2:00 p.m. a gray Chevy Tahoe ran a red light at the intersection of Moraga Road and Rheem Boulevard and clipped a Ford truck pulling a trailer. Chevy didn't stop, although it was later located on Buckingham Drive after colliding with a parked car. The driver was arrested for misdemeanor hit and run and for being unlicensed.
Uncontrollable youth, 1/19/2012 A juvenile ransacked his residence and had become a danger to himself and others. The subject eventually agreed to cooperate with police and was taken to Contra Costa Regional Medical Center by the fire department.
D.U.I., 1/20/2012 A twenty-year-old drove his car approximately fifteen feet off the road into a ditch near the Valle Staging Area on Canyon Road. The car's airbags deployed and the young man was found in the back seat. His blood shot watery eyes and slurred speech indicated to police that an alcohol screening test was in order. His test came up just past the legal limit. He was cited then later released to sober driver to head home.
Car vs. sign, 1/20/2012 Both lost. A car travelling southbound on Moraga Road jumped the curb at the entrance to the Rheem shopping center and hit a stop sign and parking light. No injuries to the driver, but the car required towing from the scene.
Kids caught smoking, 1/21/2012 At the top of Ascot Drive, around 10:30 at night, six juveniles were sitting in a car. One young man in the back seat admitted he had been drinking earlier. He was later released to his dad. One of the two young ladies in the front seat was in possession of an open package of cigarettes, her friend in the driver's seat was caught lying to cops. Both agreed to participate in the Juvenile Diversion Program.
