At 9 pm on Carmel Beach. Well, it was a full moon in more ways than one.

Carmel Police Sgt. Mel Mukai said a 29-year-old Carmel man and two 32-year-olds from Pacific Grove shucked their clothes and entered the water near Scenic and 10th. The men were naked, and the woman was topless.

Shortly after 9 p.m. Aug. 24, “as they were leaving the water, there was a large family gathering, and one of the parents was obviously appalled and decided to call us,” Mukai said.

Aaron Corn Preliminary Hearing

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Aaron Corn

Sad to read the unexpected ending of a party. Speaking of – the whole long article has no mention of Seaside Police Commander Chris Veloz calling his son after he got word of the accident.

Pinkas said when he approached Corn, who was bleeding and drifting in and out of consciousness, he was “unresponsive.”

“I detected that he had alcohol coming from his breath and person … but I didn’t obtain a statement from him,” according to the officer.

Two other passengers, Matt Wheeler and Ahmad Mahmoud, were also injured in the crash. Hill was paralyzed.

Monterey police officer Mark Shell — who interviewed Miller the day after the accident — said Miller told him that before the crash, he was at the home of a classmate, CJ Veloz, on Syida Drive in Pacific Grove where there was a small party.

It’s Exotic Car Week, Push The M.G. Out To The Street

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

and put a “For Sale” sign on it. A fool and his money . . .

In a July 6 lawsuit, Bellevue, Wash., resident Todd Lozier claims RM Auctions and Monterey Auction Co. misrepresented the 1968 Shelby GT500 KR fastback when it was placed up for auction at the Monterey Conference Center Aug. 14, 2009.

Lozier contends the car is worth between $30,000 and $50,000 less than he paid for it. The engine block, transmission and other parts were not properly date-code stamped and rather bear dates “that prove they are not original and do not belong on this vehicle,” Lozier’s lawsuit says.

If this fool was willing to part with $100,000 on an old car, why didn’t he get a CarFax or something. Pay a mechanic to look at it. Heck get an uncle that knows more about cars than the car crazy rich guy does. I side with the auction house on this one.

Farmers Market Moved North

Friday, July 16th, 2010

It seemed as cold as the north pole on the first day on Central Avenue. Now the liquor store where the rapes occurred can have their precious parking spaces back.

Liquor Store Only

As part of the deal to move its location, the city will allow vendors who don’t live in Pacific Grove to sell arts and crafts and other non-produce items. Peppard, who said Everyone’s Harvest spent thousands of dollars on advertising for the move, said that will open the possibility more vendors will set up shop at the farmers’ market.

Pollacci Gets Maximum Sentence

Friday, June 25th, 2010

“Mr. Pollacci has a well known, long lasting and enduring reputation as a rapist,” said Monterey County Superior Court Judge Russell Scott before pronouncing the sentence.

Scott also said Pollacci showed a great deal of “sophistication” and forethought in planning his attacks. And he quoted a letter from a woman who said she was one of Pollacci’s earlier victims. “He has no reason to live a productive life due to his family, who is willing to take care of him,” wrote the woman

Setting the stage for civil suit. I say go get ‘em.

Better Than A Distressed Seagull Alarm, It’s Hawks Hunting Prey

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Until two months ago, thousands of shrieking seagulls would converge on the Marina landfill every day, distracting workers, pecking through trash and pooping everywhere.

The coastal birds have long flocked to the dump to feast on a smorgasbord of landfill leftovers, such as fast food, chicken bones and rotting fruit.

But that’s all changed. There are new birds in town, and they’re shaking things up.

“I don’t know where the seagulls are,” Monterey Regional Waste Management District general manager William Merry told The Pine Cone. “But they are not here.”

Since March, the MRWMD has contracted with a Turlock company to release falcons and other birds of prey to drive all but a few of the seagulls away.

I know where the gulls are, they are feasting from open dumpsters in P.G.

Attorney In Olga Ospina Dead Dog Trial Asks For Reduction In $$

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Olga Ospina

William Gavin, the attorney for dog owner Donna Bazan and her father, Donald Armstrong — whom a jury found negligent because he didn’t do enough to stop the attack — filed a motion for a new trial and contends part of the jury’s award was unconstitutional.

“He asked Judge [Lydia] Villarreal to throw out parts of the jury verdict,” Ken Gorman, Ospina’s attorney, told The Pine Cone. “Specifically, the punitive damage award against Armstrong and the $7,500 for [Ospina’s] future pain and suffering.” In the motion, Gavin claims there was insufficient evidence to warrant punitive damages.
