Moraga Police Blotter
D.U.I, 5/21/14 It was just after 11 p.m. when officers were dispatched to check on a vehicle swerving in and out of traffic leaving the 7-11 parking lot. The driver failed to yield for two miles even though police used their flashing lights and siren. The driver finally pulled over near her home, and surprisingly flunked field sobriety tests.

Teen battery, 5/22/14 There was a domestic dispute on Ascot Drive. The person reporting the incident said he was being assaulted by his 15-year-old son after he instructed his son to finish his homework. The teen left the residence after the altercation. Unfortunately the son has a history of violence. The father had visible injuries but declined medical assistance and didn't seek prosecution; the police report was for information only.

Loud party, 5/23/14 A home on Lucia Lane was rocking until the wee hours of the morning. Police observed a group of college-age students inside the home, some clearly intoxicated. Perhaps a coincidence that the Saint Mary's College graduation ceremony was set for the next day? Officers contacted the residents, one of whom had previously been issued a warning so this time they issued a citation, at which point the party was over.

Stolen car found, 5/23/14 Cops located a parked car at Orchard Supply Hardware that was reported stolen from Hertz in South San Francisco four days earlier. The vehicle had a layer of dust on the exterior, so fingerprints weren't found. The car wasn't stripped or damaged and even the license plates were still attached. It was towed from the scene.

Avoiding police, 5/23/14 A Toyota was being driven erratically around lunch time on Moraga Road near Donald Drive. The driver didn't yield to cops, was speeding and weaving in and out of traffic, even went through two red lights without stopping. The vehicle then stopped suddenly in a parking lot; the driver was slow to comply with the officer's verbal requests. An investigation revealed the female driver was possible under the influence of an unknown controlled substance. She was cited for evading a police officer, D.U.I and for possession of concentrated cannabis.

Wandering toddler, 5/24/14 An observer called police to the area around Saint Mary's College Extension about a 2-year-old wandering around with no adult supervision. A passerby checked Francisca Lane and located the mother of the child. The mom said the little one had slipped through an open gate and wandered off. The woman, who has two other children at home, was counseled regarding the proper observation of young children.

False Alarms - Deerfield Drive, Camino Pablo
Suspicious Circumstances - Freitas Drive, Miramonte Drive, Claudia Court
