Orinda Police Blotter

Drunk in public, 9/16/09 A police officer noticed an older male staggering near Moraga Way and Brookwood Road, nearly falling into traffic. Recognizing him as a frequent flyer from numerous previous contacts, Orinda's finest took note of his needing a signpost to assist in staying upright. After several failed attempts at completing a breathalyzer test, the subject finally did it. Perhaps he had just a few sips more than the three beers he admitted to drinking that day; his blood alcohol level was way above the legal limit. Very rarely does this reporter see "drunk in private" items in the blotter, wink wink. Stay home, sleep it off.


Return of the known shoplifter, 9/16/09 A call from Longs drugs reported that a gentleman in his seventies came in and walked out with a bottle of alcohol. Apparently this was not his first attempt at a five finger discount, store employees recognized him. A Longs staffer followed him down the street where they met up with police. Maybe he was having a senior moment, forgetting to remember stores he had robbed.


Smash and Grab, 9/14/09 At 7:25 in the morning an unknown suspect smashed the rear window of a Range Rover on Robert Road, that was parked in the driveway. A duffle bag of kids clothing was stolen, along with a gym bag with an iPod, sneakers and workout clothes. Sadly no witnesses.


Smash and Grab, 9/14/09 At 7:31 in the morning, also on Robert Road just a few houses down from the original burglary, a Honda Accord parked in the owner's driveway was broken into. The front passenger window was smashed and a Garmin GPS device along with eight $1 bills were stolen. What are the odds it was the same perpetrator? Apparently once was not enough. Is anyone sensing a theme in today's blotter?
