Moraga Police Blotter
Driving while not supposed to, 9/26/14 A 39-year-old male driving near Canyon and Camino Pablo was spotted by police who were familiar with him and knew that he had a suspended drivers license. Prior to the cop getting through traffic to conduct an official stop, the fellow abandoned the car and fled on foot. Not exactly a clean getaway; the cop couldn't find him, but did look through the car to find 34 ounces of marijuana and an open bottle of alcohol. The case was referred to the district attorney for review.

Danger to self, 9/24/14 Moraga police responded to a disturbance in the middle of the afternoon. Turns out it was an elderly gentleman, suffering from an undisclosed medical condition, who was arguing with his wife. The fire department transported the fellow to a local hospital for treatment.

Pot possession, 9/25/14 An associate principal at Campolindo reported that five students were discovered to have eaten a pot brownie. This was discovered after one of the kids became sick and shared the cause with school administrators. None of the brownie was available for collection to be tested. The matter was handled in-house with suspensions for the hungry students, and the dreaded parent-notification.

Danger to self, 9/26/14 A Saint Mary's College student was depressed, severely intoxicated and threatening to hurt herself. Officers determined she was a danger to herself, so she was taken to the hospital by the fire department.

Credit card fraud, 9/29/14 An unknown person used a Rheem Boulevard resident's personal information to apply for two credit cards. The victim didn't authorize anyone to use her identity. No suspects or leads at this time, but the case remains under investigation.
