Not a pretty sight, 7/31/12 A 64-year-old male transient found along Camino Pablo and Brookwood was charged with being drunk in public when he was found to have red eyes, slurred speech and soaked pants. The repeat offender was already on probation and registered nearly three times legal limit of blood/alcohol in his system. He was arrested (again), transported to Martinez Detention Facility and booked. His backpack was taken to the Orinda Police station for safe keeping.
Beware of driving drunk, 8/3/12 Police say an "extremely intoxicated" 32-year-old male was not so intoxicated that he couldn't beat up the poor taxi driver called in to provide his transportation. The ungrateful passenger is charged with battery felony, after beating the driver so severely the driver required hospitalization for a deep cut to his head. The perpetrator was taken into arrest at his residence although he was unconscious by then, and was identified by the taxi driver. Perp rode to Martinez Detention Facility for booking in the back of a different kind of car.
Trading down, 8/2/12 A 39-year-old male driving under the influence after midnight had to trade his sweet 2012 Audi for a ride in the back of a police cruiser after preliminary alcohol screening showed .092. Back at Orinda Police station, the man showed remarkable consistency when two additional tests still revealed a .09 blood alcohol content. His nice wheels were towed and said offender was transported to county lockup.
