Orinda Police Blotter
Drunk in Public, 8/25/09 A 31-year-old white male was found laying on the ground at Glorietta and Moraga Way with a bottle of alcohol, just down the block from his home. The gentleman was unable to stand without assistance. For some reason, even though presumably he was feeling no pain, he had six Vicodin tablets in his pants pocket, no prescription bottle. He was uncooperative with police who arrested him.

Residential burglary, 8/23/09 Between 8/22 and 8/23 at a home on Glorietta Boulevard, an unknown suspect entered the garage via an unlocked side window. Tools and construction equipment worth approximately $2,000 were taken.

Drunk Grandma, 8/21/09 A woman in her seventies was involved in a collision on Acalanes Road and fled the scene. The suspect was contacted by police as she was being removed from the car by her daughter. She admitted to drinking but was too intoxicated to perform a field sobriety test. The elderly woman was arrested, but released to the custody of her daughter.

Fake Franklin, 8/19/09 At the True Value Hardware store on Moraga Way, a man came in first thing in the morning and purchased several items from the store, paying with a $100 bill. It was later determined that the $100 bill, also known as a Ben Franklin since his mug is on the front, was a forgery. The purchaser was long gone when the bill was discovered to be a fake.
