Law enforcement officers Thursday afternoon searched a Pebble Beach home in the 3000 block of Stevenson Drive and seized marijuana plants that had an estimated potential street value of $15,000, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office reported.
According to Dahmen, deputies with the County of Monterey Marijuana Eradication Team (COMMET) and detectives from the Narcotics Enforcement Unit County Of Monterey (NEUCOM) arrived at a single-family home at about 2:30 p.m., where they served a narcotics search warrant.
One of the home’s two occupants denied knowledge of the marijuana, and the other occupant has not yet been located, according to Dahmen.

Taser Stops P.G. Escape Attempt
Officers said they arrested Matthew Mickel, 23, of Monterey on suspicion of a probation violation about 5:30 p.m. in the 800 block of Sunset Drive, Pacific Grove.
Mickel was booked into the Pacific Grove Jail, pending transport to the Monterey County Jail. When arresting officers escorted him to his holding cell at the Pacific Grove facility, Mickel broke away and attempted to force his way out of the jail by slamming his body against an exterior door, police said.
Officers gave several warnings, but said Mickel continued to aggressively attempt escape. One officer used his Taser to fire a shot at Mickel, who immediately submitted to arrest, police said.
And Mickel lived.

Lillian King’s Testimony – A Charmer
Bejeweled with diamonds, a dozen jangling gold bracelets and a gold Krugerrand coin around her neck, the diminutive woman was ushered to the stand by Peninsula businessman Nader Agha, a family friend who is the co-conservator of her estate.
Upon questioning, she told prosecutor Lisa Poll she moved to California with her husband in 1954. Poll then asked her birth date.
“Dec. 29,” she said.
“What year?” asked Poll.
“Oh, I don’t want to give it,” she said smiling, sparking laughter in the courtroom.
But we need to know your age, Scott told her.
“I’m over 39,” she said, before whispering her true age to the judge.
Using headphones and an assisted-listening device, King was less lighthearted when asked to identify her grandniece, who was shackled nearby in orange-and-white-striped jail garb. King, forced to look at the defendant, briefly broke into tears.
“I’ve never had anyone look after me,” she said. “I’ve always had to paddle my own canoe and I was glad to do so.”
On the contrary, she testified, she tried to take care of Hurley by buying seven rentals on four properties and signing over 30 percent to Hurley. In return, Hurley was to manage the properties and “be self-sufficient.”

8:20 PM and working on a house. That’s Del Monte Park – industrial noise 24/7.
