Officers said they watched Leopold Cortes for about two months as they investigated his alleged involvement in high volume methamphetamine sales. That investigation culminated with warrants being served on 1113 McClellan Avenue, Apt. A in Monterey and on 1158 Kenneth Street in Seaside.
Investigators seized two stolen vehicles, two assault rifles, a shotgun, two pistols, one revolver, two rifles, a shotgun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, more than one pound of methamphetamine, marijuana, hashish, evidence of drug sales and approximately $71,000 in cash.

Deadly Poisonous Sponges Found Off Coast
“Killer sponges sound like creatures from a B-grade horror movie. In fact, they thrive in the lightless depths of the deep sea,” the aquarium research center said in a statement.
The institute said scientists first discovered that some sponges are carnivorous 20 years ago. Since then, only seven carnivorous species have been found in all of the northeastern Pacific Ocean.The sponge was living near colonies of clams and tubeworms that use bacteria to obtain nutrition from methane seeping out of the seafloor.

Tillie Gorts Owner Falls For The Old PG&E Scam
Doesn’t running an eating establishment (or any business) require intelligence? This scam has been all over the news and was reported in February
And he wants PG&E to take the blame! I totally freak out!
(Ranieri) Guimaraes said someone called saying they were with Pacific, Gas and Electric and told him his bill was overdue. If he didn’t pay up in 30 minutes, it was lights out.
In a panic, he paid $1,000 with a cash card. One very expensive mistake.
“I’d like to see PG&E take full responsibility for this,” he said.
PG&E said this type of scam happens all the time, usually with restaurant owners in their peak business hours using a cash card.
Mayor Kampe Has Surgery
Heart? Might have been better to fix the bypass in his head.
Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Kampe is recuperating after undergoing heart-bypass surgery this week and likely will be away from city duties for a few weeks.
“I would say at least three weeks,” said Mayor Pro Tempore Robert Huitt on Friday. He will chair the City Council in Kampe’s absence.
The surgery was done Tuesday. It wasn’t triggered by any symptoms the mayor had been experiencing, but by things that came up during a routine exam, he said.
“All indications was that it was successful, and his recovery is going to be great,” Huitt said.
Jacob Miller Pleads No Contest To Possession Charges
Son of sheriff and former P.G. police chief.
Jacob Miller pleaded no contest Tuesday in Monterey County Superior Court to possession of stolen property and possession of methadone related to an alleged theft at Asilomar Conference Grounds.
Chapman said the DA agreed to drop a separate weapons charge.
Miller will likely receive probation — which can mean up to a year in jail — and be required to do a minimum six-month drug treatment program.
Jacob Miller was sentenced in February 2012 to three years probation and 90 days in jail for possession of methamphetamine for sale. At the time, he completed a rehabilitation program at Genesis House and was living in a sober-living home.
Stupid Things Moe Says, G.O.D. 2014
“As long as you don’t park in the red zone or in disabled parking, there is no enforcement during the good old days,” said Moe Ammar, president of the Chamber of Commerce.
There is no parking enforcement anytime downtown.
Beer In The Good Old Days

“No alcoholic beverage can leave, so it’s an enclosed facility so you can’t wander around with it,” said Brian Lackey, the Good Old Days co-chairman.
Give Away The Golf Course And Lose Free Golf
At Wednesday’s City Council meeting, council members voted in favor of the golfers.
The vote happened after a lawsuit was filed by 13 former city employees who were about to lose their free golfing privileges after new management transformed the Pacific Grove Golf Links into a private course.
New management was ready to offer retirees one free game of golf a month, but retirees said that’s not what they were promised years ago.
Councilmembers decided it was not worth the fight and lawsuit to change the city’s 35-year-old city policy, which allows retired city employees courtesy golf.
Tinnertudes Sold, Will Be A “High End Sushi” Restaurant
And what was Moammar’s reaction?
- A. This is a disgrace to the town!
- B. I have eaten sushi from Fresno.
- C. This is the best thing that could happen to Pacific Grove!
The former Lattitudes restaurant at Lover’s Point in Pacific Grove has been purchased by foreign investors for $2.5 million in cash.
Vacant for 4 1/2 years, the new owners plan to turn it into a high-end sushi restaurant, said Moe Ammar, the president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce.
“This is the best thing that could happen to Pacific Grove,” he said, noting that The Beach House across the street opened last summer.
Lattitudes, the last restaurant in the 6,683 square foot building, closed in 2010. Before that it housed The Tinnery.
