Moraga Police Blotter
Rolling stop, 8/24/09 A green Volvo was stopped at Camino Pablo at Canyon Road for failing to stop at a stop sign. The juvenile driver, not immature but under eighteen, was offered a diversion program to learn the error of his ways. The parents agreed, perhaps keeping the youthful driver's record clean for insurance purposes.

Dog bite, 8/23/09 There was a report of a dog bite in front of 24 Hour Fitness. A four year old girl was bitten on the left arm and was checked and released at the scene by the Moraga-Orinda Fire Department. Her father was there and took her to the hospital. This reporter has seen a few large dogs in front of the facility, no word if they were the culprits. They seem very well-mannered.

Ammo turn-in, 8/23/09 A Laird Place resident contacted police to turn in ammunition for destruction. Police took custody of several boxes of ammunition. Yes, all the area police departments are happy to take ammunition and even firearms and dispose of them properly. Not a great idea to just throw that kind of thing in a garbage can.

Loud party, 8/22/09 Around midnight officers responded to a loud party on Ascot Drive.
Police contacted the three, count 'em, residents and informed them of the complaint. Presumed roommates were given a copy of the Town of Moraga loud party ordinance, a copy was also mailed to the property owner. A neighbor reports that he often discovers empty beer cans and cigarette butts on his patio after parties. Not the first time this has happened on that street.
