Lafayette Police Blotter
Excessive Celebration, 1/1/10 At 1:32 a.m., Lafayette Police stopped the subject's car on Mt. Diablo Boulevard at Dolores for failure to maintain lanes. The Acalanes student was taken to the Lafayette Police Department for breath analysis on suspicion of Driving Under the Influence. The teen was later released to the custody of her mother. Talk about starting the New Year off on the wrong foot...

Suburban Vandalism, 1/2/10 A Glenside Drive resident called police to report that his Suburban had been severely vandalized in his driveway. The front window had been smashed and all four tires were slashed. We can only assume that such a moronic vandal completely dominates the Whack-a-Mole game at Chuck E. Cheese. There are no suspects, witnesses or leads.

Penny Thief, 1/4/10 The subject entered the Oasis CafÇ on Mt. Diablo Boulevard and asked the unknowing clerk for a cup of water. When the clerk went to get the water, the subject grabbed the tip jar off the counter and sprinted out of the cafÇ. Witnesses saw him run all the way to an apartment right above the cafÇ. The offender was arrested and booked at the Martinez Detention Facility. The tip jar containing $4.45 was recovered and returned to the Oasis CafÇ.

Smokin' and Drinkin' on a Saturday Night, 1/9/10 Lafayette Police pulled the subjects over for failing to stop for a stop sign. The two Campolindo students were found to be in possession of marijuana, alcohol and tobacco. Perhaps the poor driver was having a little trouble seeing through all the smoke, dude. The teens were cited and released to their parents. No more Beasties for them.
