D.U.I. 8/27/13 An 18-year-old male and his 16-year-old female passenger were stopped when the vehicle drove through a stop sign at the intersection of Camino Pablo and Hodges Drive at 2:30 a.m. The driver showed signs of intoxication and flunked his field sobriety test. Turns out the young lady had snuck out of the house and her mom didn't know where she was. The mom was surprised at her whereabouts and came to pick her up. A parent's nightmare.
Petty theft, 8/24/13 An unlocked car and a purse in plain view - not a terrific combination. Presumably the parking area at Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School is safe - but there's a reason the cops call these crimes of opportunity. Upon her return, the victim noticed her purse had been rifled through and $300 cash and a credit card were taken. No leads at this time.
Hot dog, 8/24/13 Police responded to a call reporting a dog locked in a vehicle on Moraga Road on a warm day. Apparently the pooch was not in duress, the car was parked in the shade and the windows were open. The owner returned to the car shortly after the cops arrived. The owner explained she knew the hazards of leaving an animal inside a car, which is why she parked in the shade.
D.U.I. 8/24/13 In the wee hours of the morning police pulled over a Chevy Silverado pick-up on Moraga Road north of Campolindo Drive after watching the car cross a double yellow line and nearly collide with the officer's patrol vehicle. No, that wasn't perfume, but eau de alcohol officers sniffed. The driver's blood alcohol level was 0.10 percent, so he was arrested for D.U.I., taken to the police department and later released to a family member after signing a Promise to Appear. Kind of like death and taxes, signing a promise to the police.
Loud Party, 8/23/13 Law enforcement responded to a loud party on Ascot Drive. Cops could clearly hear the festivities from approximately 50 feet away. About 60 unwanted partygoers were "removed," notes the police report, after cops advised them of the noise complaint. The host apartment dweller got an official warning.
Fire assist, 8/23/13 There was a garage fire at a home on Sullivan Drive around 9 p.m. Police contacted neighbors who advised that the homeowners were not there and they (the neighbors) had extinguished the fire. MOFD arrived and had to open the wall to gain access to the residence to ensure that the fire had been properly extinguished. Shortly thereafter the homeowner arrived and found out the cause appeared to be faulty electrical wiring in the garage. The damage is estimated at $10,000.
