Tyler Tirado, you are a loser.

No respect for those that protect your freedom. Almost reminds me about the P.G. Ice Cream Shoppe where the military are not welcome.

Tyler Tirado

Police said Tyler Tirado, of Monterey, had confronted the group of Defense Language Institute students, called them “baby killers” and struck a 20-year-old woman in the head with a beer bottle.

Officers responded around 11:50 p.m. on the 1800 block of Sunset Drive to reports of a woman with a one-inch cut to her scalp.

Ride The Bus For Life – Stupid Teen DUI

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

DUI, Underage drinking, property damage, hit and run, injury to others, yes – This stupid kid should NEVER be allowed behind the wheel for the rest of his life. Barely legal age and starting out with a bang.

The CHP said the crash occurred about 2:50 a.m. when Yant, for unknown reasons, drove a 2009 Hyundai Sonata off a small cliff, coming to rest on the rocks at the water line. . .

The driver, 18-year-old Richard Yant IV, was found at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula about an hour later. He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, officials said.

“Officers had enough indicators, when they contacted them, to see signs of him being impaired,” CHP Officer Robert Lehman said.

Lehman said Yant’s father had taken him for treatment for a small cut to his hand.

Welcome to the best Pacific Grove & New Monterey news aggregation.

The source of the story, such as a newspaper or TV news site is in each post, either in the title or at the end. Since switching the website platform to WordPress, links in the titles do not work well in other features, so the source links are now repeated at the bottom of the story, right above the category entries. This is an ongoing project that is being edited by hand. When completed you will not see this note.

Some of the news sources (the Herald in particular) do not keep articles up on the web forever, so if the link does not work try that site's search.
