Moraga Police Blotter

Slight DUI 1/16/16 Busted tail lights got cops' attention on Moraga Road at 11:30 p.m. The 24-year-old female driver of an Audi didn't respond until multiple sirens were activated - kind of a tip off. Surprisingly the driver smelled of alcoholic beverages, and according to her first blood alcohol test, she was barely drunk with a reading of 0.10, but upon a subsequent test at the Moraga Police Department she had a 0.08 reading - which is the legal limit. She was issued a citation and released to a sober adult.

Drunk fighting 1/17/16 There was fighting in the street at almost 1 a.m. near the police department on Rheem Boulevard. Cops determined that a female subject who had just been released after being arrested for DUI was being "uncooperative" and had walked away from her sober caretaker. The subject was located and still had an odor of alcoholic beverages on her person and police surmised that based on her behavior, she was unable to care for herself. "After trying to reason with the subject and get her to return home, she said, 'Then take me to jail, I'm not going back to my mother's house,'" noted the police report. No other sober adult could be found at that hour, so she was arrested for public intoxication and taken to the Martinez jail. Just can't make this stuff up.

Loud party 1/13/16 The loud party reported to be occurring in a residential apartment complex at 11:30 p.m. was actually six college-aged people engaged in loud conversation inside an apartment. Cops wisely concluded this gathering did not constitute an actual loud party as defined by the Moraga Municipal Code. The resident was advised to keep it down.

Bad behavior 1/14/16 A noise complaint reported that a number of subjects were screaming and jumping in front of cars at 1 a.m. in front of a local convenience store. Two subjects were arrested for being drunk in public, using a fake ID to purchase alcohol, as well as being minors in possession of alcohol, and a probation violation. Genius.

Kid locked in gym 1/14/16 The fire department responded to a call about a student locked in an interior room of the Campolindo High School gymnasium, and let him out. The basketball coach arrived at 5:45 a.m. to find the main gym locked, but discovered the door to the team room had a damaged handle. A student had left basketball practice early and when he went to retrieve his backpack, became locked in the team room. Text messages from the student were not picked up in his attempt to seek help.

Burglary 1/14/16 When Camino Peral residents returned home in the middle of the afternoon, they found items strewn about the place and bedroom dresser drawers open. At the moment, it's a mystery if anything is missing - but clearly bad guys were on the hunt. The incident is currently under investigation.
