“We’re hoping to go with that date in January,” she said this week. Petrick, who was 25 at the time of the accident, was arrested by the California Highway Patrol for felony DUI and taken to Monterey County Jail after allegedly driving over Carmel High School student Ryan Marden — son of Carmel River School principal Jay Marden — with his 2007 Toyota Tundra pickup truck while trying to get up a hill. Marden and a friend had been in sleeping bags on the ground when the accident occurred shortly after 2:30 a.m. May 2, CHP public information officer Bob Lehman reported at the time, and Petrick was reportedly unaware what he had done until passengers in his truck yelled.

Registrar Of Voters Gets DUI In P.G.
Alcohol arrests & DMP, they go together it seems.
Monterey County Registrar of Voters Linda Tulett, 43, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 19, after a Pacific Grove police officer pulled her over on David Avenue for speeding, according to PGPD Cmdr. John Nyunt.

Burglars Having Record Success In P.G.
Even if you lock things up, scum may cause damage costing more to repair than the lost item.
Almost a dozen victims reported thefts and burglaries to P.G. police between Dec.14 and 20, with the bulk of them — nine — occurring the night of Dec. 15 or the morning of Dec. 16. Eight of those vehicles were unlocked, according to police, and the ninth had its convertible cover cut.
In addition, thieves stole computers, a phone system and keys from the Anton Inn on Dec. 3, someone took a television from a rental property on Dec. 18, and a suspect tried to break into a Lighthouse Avenue business Dec. 19 or 20 but failed to get through the window or the back door. Nyunt said parolees, drug addicts and gang members are hitting his city and other Peninsula locations, because they know the prey is easy.
Pollacci Trail For New Added Rape Charges Set For February 10
Pollacci, who was living with his parents in Pebble Beach before he was jailed for raping a Colorado woman in the loft of his family’s Lighthouse Avenue liquor store and then leaving her at the hospital with a serious head injury in April 2008, stands accused of raping two more women who came forward during the investigation of that case and his trial this year.
According to investigators, Pollacci raped Jane Doe 1 in April 2007 and Jane Doe 2 twice in the fall of 2008. Deputy district attorney Mike Breeden and public defender Michelle Wouden are next set to appear in Duncan’s courtroom on the Pollacci case on Feb. 10, 2011, when the judge will consider any motions the defense wants to file.

$42,000 Down The (Historically Reviewed) Sewer
Reviews that come in to play when a property is sold or remolded or torn down? Make the property owner foot the bill.
The City of Pacific Grove is going to pay a consultant more than $40,000 to get a better handle on the city’s historic buildings. The P.G. City Council voted Wednesday night to spend $42,400 to prepare an “historic context statement,” which will include describing how the city’s architecture evolved.
While spending $40,000 on a report in a city that is having severe financial troubles may seem superfluous, Burgess said in the long run, the report could save money for the city and residents, who must fork over from $200 to $1,000 for a historic evaluation.
Sheriff Says No Rapists In Pebble Beach
Remain calm, all is well?
Sheriff’s Cmdr. Tracy Brown wouldn’t divulge any of the details of a rape reported in Pebble Beach last month, but he said residents should not worry that a rapist is lurking in their neighborhood. “Because of privacy issues, I’m not allowed to discuss in detail the specific case, but there is no reason for anyone else in the area to be concerned about there being a rapist in their area,” he said Wednesday. “I don’t believe there’s anyone in danger at this time.”
On Nov. 12 at around 7 p.m., a Pebble Beach woman dialed 911 and reported that an unknown Hispanic male had broken into her house and raped her, according to a report by deputy Joe Crivello.
High Cost Of Dying In P.G.
$3,375 for a grave site.
The reason for the increases is that for the past several years city revenues have fallen short of the graveyard’s operating costs, which has created a deeper financial hole for P.G.,according to budget director Jim Becklenberg,
Deeper hole, LOL.
Sunny Nguyen Out Of Hospital, In Jail
Pacific Grove police took Sunny Nguyen, the 26-year-old Seaside resident accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend’s mother to death in her 17 Mile Drive home late the night of Nov. 21, to Monterey County Jail Wednesday night after he was released from the San Jose trauma center where he underwent surgery for stab wounds of his own.
PGPD Chief Darius Engles said forensics experts will determine whether Nguyen’s injuries — including a deep laceration to his neck — were self-inflicted or resulted from a fight with the victim, 46-year-old Judith Salazar.
Coastal Commission Working Hard To Save Us From The Dreaded Mini Golf Course
That home on 17 Mile drive with the nice lawns in the form of a golf course is once again under fire. Property rights? Ehhhh what rights?
“At all times since the finality of the order, the Feduniaks have continued to maintain the unpermitted golf course on the property, including watering and mowing the grass in violation of the orders,” the lawsuit says. And their noncompliance has been “knowing and intentional,” it alleges.
Failure to remove the tiny golf course harms the public because it “damages natural resources … interferes with the coastal commission’s attempts to uniformly and fairly enforce and administer the Coastal Act” and encourages other people to flout the coastal commission’s rules, the lawsuit says.

Pebble Beach Art Theft Lawsuit – Toss It
No chance?
Shapiro filed a motion in Monterey Superior Court Nov. 1 asking a judge to dismiss the lawsuit under California’s anti-SLAPP statute, which provides for early dismissal of lawsuits arising from an “act in furtherance of a person’s right of petition or free speech” unless a court determines there is a probability the plaintiff will prevail on the suit.
To help show that Amadio and Kennaugh probably won’t win their defamation suit, Shapiro argued that Kanalakis and Richards “were acting within the scope of their employment when they issued press releases or held press conferences … and therefore both are immune from any claim arising from that conduct.”
In regards to Monterey County’s liability in the lawsuit filed by Kennaugh and Amadio, Shapiro said a public entity is not liable for conduct by an employee who is immune.
Therefore, Shapiro said Kennaugh and Amadio “cannot establish a possibility, much less a probability, of prevailing on either of their claims.”
