Jeffery Rutt – the Pacific Grove resident arrested after leading deputies on a car chase two months ago when he was caught breaking into cars — has already pleaded guilty to multiple crimes and sentenced to three years in prison.

Although they live in the same P.G. home and share a last name, it’s unknown how Jeffrey Rutt is related to Jason Rutt, who was arrested for burglary in 2014 and drug offenses in 2012, when he was already on probation for an earlier offense. In the 2014 case, Jason Rutt, then 29, trashed a home on Sage Court while spending all day inside, making himself at home, rifling through the owner’s
possessions and stealing luggage and jewelry. “The house was basically ransacked, and food was eaten. He was probably there all day,” thenPGPD Cmdr. Cassie McSorley said at the time.

Ever Have Neighbor Like This?

I once had one that left angry notes on my car if I parked on the street in front of his house. He had one car and always parked in his driveway. He never spoke to me, just kept leaving notes and reporting my daily driven car as abandoned.

One visit from his crabby ex wife and the war was on.

Hackett, who declined interview requests from The Pine Cone, has also complained about the size of the home’s natural gas lines, the placement of its electrical panel, and the custom wood garage doors the Travailles installed. He even Renovation turns into nightmare, thanks to picky complained that the house was a couple of inches bigger than the plans showed, the Travailles said.

Hackett’s problem with the project seemed to be at an end when he sent a “Happy New Year” email message to Kuehl and the Travailles on Jan. 1 — just a few days after he asked that the house be red-tagged.

Want A Mayor That Has More P.G. Experience?

Posted on by

P.G. has had it’s share of mayors with years of bureaucrat experience, here’s a contender that has more years of Pacific Grove experience that most ex-mayors combined.

Keep Calm Almost Miller Time

Dan Miller, 60, said that he believes his six-plus years as
a P.G. city councilman and three years on the city’s planning
commission qualify him to be mayor. “What separates me
from the rest of the council is that I vote with the people of
Pacific Grove’s best interests in mind,” Miller said.

Failed Hotel To Be Sold

Posted on by

String of failures? Maybe it was better divided up as a rental.

John Hankard, a realtor with Sotheby’s International Realty, said the property will be listed with a price tag of $3.5 million once the current bankruptcy proceedings that surround it are settled.

In July the inn was abruptly shut down leaving prepaid guests with room reservations high and dry. That was after the lessee, Malibu business man Gary Peterson, filed for bankruptcy. The 16-room yellow historic inn located at 581 Pine Ave. is owned by David Spence who also owns Pacific Grove’s Beachcomber Inn. Spence leased the inn to partnership Monterey Peninsula Inns LP in 2001, who then assigned the lease to Monarch Hospitality LLC. In 2009, Monarch assigned the lease to PG Inn Inc. (principal Gary Peterson).

Hankard said Peterson has been behind in property taxes and transient occupancy taxes to the city, as well as payments to Spence.

Credited to a Mark C. Anderson. Is that one and the same as the editor of the Coast Weakly? Must be why the list of places to leave money at looks like an accounts receivable for ads roster from the same tabloid.

Check this one out – the expert flubs the location in the article. Where is Grove Avenue any way?

Midday
Arm thyself for a picnic on the water at Grove Market and Pavel’s Backerei, two institutions that sit opposite each other on classic small-town drive Grove Avenue. Deli sandwiches, fine cheeses and classic counter service beckon at the timeless neighborhood market; celebrated chocolate-bellied croissants, superior breads and cream-cheese danishes await at Pavel’s, if they haven’t sold out.

Sea Lion Posse Wants Your Tax Dollars

Animal lovers want tax money to protect seals. Liken it to feeding stray cats. Keep protecting them and the population quickly increases, outstripping the food sources and attracting more predators.

Harbormaster with the city of Monterey, Steve Scheiblauer said last spring the number jumped to about 700 and with it came a lot starving juveniles.

“At that time the animals were young and thin very emaciated looking,” Scheiblauer said.

For many it was hard to watch the animals, which can be an annoyance to many boaters and fisherman but are also endearing.

“It’s hard to witness this kind of thing, but you know I have seen a lot of it and this is nature appears to be unfolding,” said Scheiblauer about the event in 2015.

Delong said the population is seeing its first big disturbance in decades thanks to the warm blob which has been pushing food sources farther out to sea.
