From The Hear-old

The fire broke out about 5:35 p.m. near Congress and Majella roads and was contained quickly, said Capt. Jennifer Valdez of Calfire-Pebble Beach Community Services District.

Crews were assisted by two air tankers and a helicopter in stopping the fire. No structures were threatened, Valdez said.

From KSBW:

The forest was so dense that fire crews had to cut their way in to get to the fire.

“We had an air tanker in and they made five drops,” said Battalion Chief Dennis King with the Department of Forestry. “Then we had a helicopter that worked it and probably made a dozen drops on it.”

A 17-year-old boy and a 24-year-old man in the truck were released, Taylor said. Two pellet rifles were found in the suspects’ truck, he said.

Police identified the suspects as Abraham Ruiz, Blake Andrews and Ian Hesse.

Hey bad guys! Better use your hands free device – the only chance of getting nailed on a warrant is when you talk on the mobile.

Hands Free Kit

Just after 5 p.m. July 24, Cpl. Roxane Viray reportedly spotted Pacific Grove resident Robert Odonnell, 42, holding a cell phone to his ear as he drove down the street — which became illegal July 1.

He provided Viray with a temporary driver’s license, but when she walked back to her patrol car to see if he was wanted on any warrants, he got out of his car, saying something about having to pick up his kids, according to Nyunt.

“When all of our officers were tied up on this parade, we had an individual walking at Lighthouse and 13th toward town,” he said. At about 3 p.m. July 25, two men wearing dark clothing with hoodies grabbed her purse from her.
