Sean Connors Must Really Hate Cell Phones By Now
(Santa Cruz Sentinel)
Popped by a citizen via cell phone.
A Monterey man whose driver’s license was suspended from a past driving under the influence conviction was arrested early Wednesday in South County after someone called 911 to report a possible drunken driver, the California Highway Patrol reported.
Sean Joseph Connors, 24, allegedly was driving erratically on Highway 1 near Airport Boulevard around 2:40 a.m., the CHP reported. He was pulled over and arrested on suspicion of DUI and driving with a suspended license.
Sounds like it’s the same guy that left his phone behind after breaking into a car.

Sacramento police said a man who was taken into jail hid methamphetamine inside his buttocks. Police said officers stopped Aaron Rivera Tuesday at about 4:54 p.m. in the 3100 block of Bridgeford Drive.
And back in Pacific Grove, the cracked Christmas tree is back.
Solar Electricity Makes For Sustainable Burglars
Any savings gained by using solar electricity is offset by paying for security patrols & surveillance cameras.
“The cost of metal has declined significantly,” said Brandy Swain, a San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department Crime Prevention Specialist. “It looks like solar panels are becoming the new hot item to steal.”
More than $400,000 worth of solar panels have been stolen from vineyards in Napa County, alone.

Governator Sends Coded Message
And it’s not “get to the choppa”
Schwarzenegger on Friday responded for the first time about a profanity-laced phrase spelled out on the left-hand margin in his veto message to a state lawmaker who had heckled the governor at a San Francisco event.
The governor smiled as he told reporters at the White House, “That was a total coincidence. It was one of those wild coincidences.”
Colorado Boy Aboard Runaway Balloon Found To Be A Hoax
So – Just what is happening on the Pebble Beach “stolen art” story? It’s dropped from all forms of media faster than a, a well empty balloon. What are Benjamin Amadio and Dr. Ralph Kennaugh planning next?
The parents of a six-year-old boy they claim had stowed aboard a runaway balloon face felony charges for what sheriff’s investigators say was merely a publicity stunt.
“It has been a hoax,” said Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden. “It was a publicity stunt done with hopes of better maneuvering themselves for a reality TV show.”

Castroville-based shipper Ocean Mist Farms recalled 1,746 cases of its green onions as well, after realizing they came from the same lot. No illnesses have been reported.,
