When it’s left sitting in a front yard on Ocean View.
On March 5 at about 9:25 a.m., a person in a silver Chevrolet Suburban pulled up to a house on Ocean View Boulevard, picked up an expensive jade that was in the front yard and put it in the rear of the vehicle. The driver then fled the area. Surveillance video captured the theft of the rock, which police said was valued at $5,000.
The unidentified jade owner purchased the sizeable rock nine years ago, and it had been in his front yard since,

a jury last November convicted Eric David Bloomer, 52, of nearly a dozen felonies stemming from his repeated molestation of his ex-girlfriend’s 10-year-old daughter in Pacific Grove in July and August.
Pacific Grove police arrested Bloomer Aug. 25, 2019, several weeks after he had moved there to live with his ex-girlfriend and her two children, ages 6 and 10. She kicked him out after a month-and-a-half. Two weeks after Bloomer was evicted, the older daughter, referred to as “Jane Doe” in court, disclosed he had sexually abused her the whole time he was living there, when her mother and family members were away working or were in other parts of the home.
Officials so excitedly worked up over more taxes they failed in the written exam.
California Department of Tax and Fee Administration was going over the paperwork for P.G.’s approved ballot measure, officials noticed an error. Following the election, the Pacific Grove City Council — instead of approving a resolution supporting voters’ decision to increase the sales tax — inadvertently supported a resolution to increase the city’s “uniform sales and use tax” — a different type of tax.
The two separate tax categories, represented by numbers, are differentiated by just one digit in the city’s Municipal Code, and nobody noticed that the resolution referred to the incorrect category.
After the tax agency informed P.G. of the blunder, the city council tried to fix it by repealing and replacing the bungled resolution. But that didn’t satisfy the state. On Jan. 28, officials told Pacific Grove that because of the error, it would not honor Measure L and would not collect the increased sales tax on the city’s behalf.

John Charles Ensor, 48, was arrested at gunpoint by Pacific Grove Police officers on Aug. 12, 2020 after they say he made threats, yelled racial slurs and threw an aluminum baseball bat at a vehicle and a beer can at another. The Monterey County District Attorney’s Office charged Ensor with a litany of crimes, including a hate crime, assault by means to produce great bodily injury, criminal threats and exhibiting a deadly weapon.
A mental health evaluation was filed, but Butler has not yet ruled on whether or not he is competent to stand trial. Ensor tried to get Jefferson, his taxpayer-funded attorney, fired from his case at the Dec. 4 hearing.

The former U.S. Army general facing a lawsuit by an investor over a failed luxury hotel in the American Tin
Cannery has successfully had the case moved from Monterey County Superior Court to federal court.Investor Todd Timboe in October 2020 sued four-star Gen. Wesley Clark and four other businessmen who were behind the failed Project Bella, a high end hotel proposed for the American Tin Cannery. Proponents promised the hotel would bring scores of jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue for Pacific Grove, but the proposal crumbled long before a shovel ever had a chance to hit ground.
A new project to build a hotel on the site proposed by Comstock Development has better financial backing and is moving through the process, though some residents are still opposed to the idea of a hotel on the site. Timboe filed the lawsuit in civil court in Monterey, alleging the hotel backers had fraudulently induced him to invest $500,000 in the project — even as the companies behind the development didn’t have the financial wherewithal to build the hotel.
In the latest of a long string of cars being driven into local buildings, this Subaru crashed into a music store in downtown Pacific Grove Thursday morning.
Police didn’t say what they believe caused the crash or identify the driver, but the wreckage offered some possible clues: A handicapped placard is visible near the steering wheel and there’s a walker on the back seat.
Somebody’s going to get sued..
The application for the project was made by Vista Nadura LLC and developer Nader Agha, who were told in September by the Monterey County Planning Commission that their application is incomplete. They are appealing that decision to the county supervisors.
The site is located behind Carmel Valley Manor. The subdivision dates back to 2002, and Agha contends his application should have been certified as complete 13 years ago. A county report at the time indicated that the application was determined to be incomplete “because the applicant had not submitted proof of adequate water supply.”
Confirmed suicide. Name not yet released.
Suicide was determined to be the cause of death of a 56-year-old man whose body was found late last month near the ocean in Pacific Grove, a commander with the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office told the Pine Cone this week.
At about 12:30 p.m., officials recovered the body of the man on the west side of Ocean View Boulevard across from Crespi Pond near a vehicle turnout. While the cause
of death, at that time, was not known, foul play was not suspected.
“At this time, a Pacific Grove Police detective is working with the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office in determining the cause of death,” police administrative services manager Jocelyn Francis told The Pine Cone.
While there does not appear to be any foul play related to the unidentified man’s death, Francis said the sheriff’s office had a dive team search the water for any evidence. Sheriff’s office spokesman Cmdr. Derrel Simpson told The Pine Cone that the man was from Monterey County and was 56 years old.
What happens in Pebble Beach does not necessarily stay in Pebble Beach.
According to Monterey County Sheriff’s investigators, David Walter Osborne, now 49, flew on a private jet with a couple of “high-profile friends” for a weekend of golf at Pebble Beach, where they shared some rooms at the lodge, and on May 7, 2019, he sexually assaulted two women.
“Based on facts and circumstances of this case, the risk of a jury trial, the defendant’s acceptance of responsibility, and after numerous conversations with Jane Doe about her preferences and desires, we believe this is a just resolution in this case,” Nassoura said at the time. Osborne will also have to pay restitution to the victim, and Vazquez is set to determine the amount at an Oct. 6 hearing, when he will also provide proof he has relinquished his guns.
