A probation search on Thursday at the home of Joe Beverdine, 48 on the 2900 block of Sloat Road in Pebble Beach found 37 inert military practice hand grenades, deputies said.

On Tuesday, Monterey Police officers conducted a vehicle check, occupied by Joe Beverdine, in the parking lot of the Travel Lodge Motel, deputies said.

They found an altered practice hand grenade within the vehicle, causing the evacuation of the motel while the Bomb Squad responded and rendered the device safe, deputies said.

Beverdine is currently in-custody pending trial on $62,500 bail, deputies said.

Lookout For Cops On Vacation In P.G.

If you can take county cars on vacation I guess it helps well paid cops have 2nd homes in P.G.

A driver was hurt when her car was rear-ended in Monterey by an off-duty Stanislaus County sheriff’s captain in a department vehicle, the woman says in a claim against the county.

Previous reports said no one was injured when Capt. Tim David, driving a sheriff’s Ford Explorer to his second home in Pacific Grove, ran into a Ford Focus on March 26.

The accident caused Sheriff Adam Christianson to issue a policy in April that prohibits taking home a car if an employee lives farther than 35 miles — Pacific Grove is about 120 miles — and will be away more than three days.

$90.00 a year for 10 years. My vote is a no. Cutback on necessary things during tough times first. I don’t see them trying anything but reducing hours.

To supporters, the library parcel tax Pacific Grove residents will vote on Nov. 2, Measure Q, is the one chance the city has to guarantee funding to keep its century-old library open.

To opponents, Measure Q is an unnecessary add-on to the tax burden based on assumptions of facts that have not been discussed in public.

The ballot measure was debated Tuesday in a forum organized by the League of Women Voters. Linnett Harlan and Greta Miller of the Campaign Committee for Yes on PG Library faced former Councilwoman Susan Goldbeck and Jeffrey Flather of the Monterey Peninsula Taxpayers Association.

Pebble Beach Art Theft Updates

Checking in on the Pebble Beach Art Theft story. This thing is all over the map it seems. Gay bashing, friend’s fathers who pilot helicopters, what next?

KSBW has the complaint file in a .pdf

Dr. Ralph Kennaugh and Angelo Amadio reported the theft of millions of dollars of artwork on Sept. 25, 2009, saying the missing collection contained works by Jackson Pollock, Van Gogh, Miro and Rembrandt.

No arrests were ever made, none of the missing art turned up, and the Sheriff’s Office subsequently talked about charging the two men with filing a false police report or insurance fraud.

The reported theft drew widespread publicity after Kennaugh and Amadio offered a $1million reward for the return of the artwork. But the Sheriff’s Office, within a few days, was painting a different picture of the case, suggesting that something was not right about the big art heist.
