The animals will get first rate care, what about the people living in the house?

A small historic home in Pacific Grove was declared uninhabitable Wednesday after authorities found it crammed with dogs and cats in “shocking” conditions, the SPCA for Monterey County said.

The house was cluttered with piles of clothing, trash and garage, along with feces and urine, the SPCA said.

There were 18 dogs, including four small puppies, locked in three small back rooms. The stench of ammonia from urine was so strong that fire officials recommended that animal rescuers use protective gear.

Two cats were also taken from the home in the 400 block of Fountain Avenue.

Two women were almost victims of a phone scam on Thursday, according to the Pacific Grove Police Department.

Both women received calls from a man who identified himself as a law enforcement official and said they had warrants for their arrests for not appearing on a jury summons. He had their names, addresses and phone numbers.

The public is reminded to never provide personal information over the phone or Internet to an unverified person. If you receive notification of a matter involving the transfer or payment of funds, always verify the validity of the message by using contact information you know to be accurate, not phone numbers or email addresses provided by the party.

If in doubt, the public is asked to contact law enforcement before taking any action.

Butts In Flower PotHow soon before the butts left on the street will be traced back to the careless fools that drop them?

The smoke break by the burglar came back to haunt a Pacific Grove man this week. He was convicted in Monterey County Superior Court of first-degree burglary and now faces a possible seven-year prison sentence.

“Smoking — it’s kind of bad for your health,” said Deputy District Attorney Sam Nong on Thursday.

Nong prosecuted Daniel Edward Jeske, 33, of Pacific Grove from the March 20, 2012, break-in.

He said police forwarded the cigarette butt to the state DNA database — which includes about 1 million samples collected from felons and persons arrested on a felony charge.

4 people rob a person at their house and steal their car. Not sure of the circumstances.

Police arrested two suspects and were still searching for a third in connection with a an incident Friday that began with an armed robbery in Monterey and included a four-hour standoff in Salinas.

Police were summoned at 4 p.m. to an address in New Monterey, where a homeowner had been robbed at gunpoint. The suspects fled with the victim’s van, police said.

The stolen vehicle was spotted a short time later in Marina, where a female driver was arrested.

A second suspect was located and arrested outside a house on Lupine Drive, and police surrounded the residence, believing the third suspect was inside.

A four-hour standoff ended when SWAT teams from Monterey and Salinas rammed through the front door and tear-gassed the home. They did not find the suspect.
