The Pacific Grove Police Department is being equipped with DNA kits in each of their police cruisers. In the past, if officers wanted DNA collected at a crime scene, they would have to call the sheriff’s department or another agency. Now, officers are going through training at the department to collect it themselves.

“Our database is expanding so much,” says Detective Meghan Bliss, Pacific Grove Police Department. “It’s growing substantially and so we are much more likely, as we collect more and more DNA samples, that we’ll be able to solve more crimes.”

Trust you hunches in the future, Doc.

Two weeks before she struck and killed a Pacific Grove father, Deborah King’s physician considered hospitalizing her for acute fatigue.

Prunedale osteopath Dr. Adelheid Ebenboech said she was so concerned about her patient’s condition during an emergency visit Aug. 15, 2008, that she warned her to limit her driving, but continue to see her therapist, while tests were run to see what was causing the fatigue.

Old Bath House Renovation Drags On

The City of Pacific Grove owns the old bath house building on Ocean View Boulevard. In 2007 it leased the building to a developer, Enea Properties Company. Now the developer, Robert Enea says he’s almost done with renovation plans, but the recession has slowed his business down. Enea wants to bring in a new restaurant into the old bath house building.

Enea is asking the city to change its lease agreement so he can find more money to finish his plans.

Trial Begins For Deborah King

Think guilty.

In his opening statement, prosecutor Steve Somers told the jury that King, 54, has been warned on multiple occasions about the dangers of driving while impaired. The courts told her; the Department of Motor Vehicles and her ex-husband did, too.

But on Sept. 2, 2008, with a cocktail of prescription drugs in her system, Somers said, King chose to get behind the wheel of her BMW X3 and drive from Monterey to a noon appointment with her therapist in Pacific Grove.

After nearly rear-ending another driver at the stoplight on the off-ramp from Highway 1 to Highway 68, King weaved her way down to Forest Avenue and her tragic collision with Woods.

Brokaw Hall Broken

It looks a lot like the average motel in P.G. If it gets saved, you think they can get a alcohol permit and use it for receptions? How about a pub? The Orange & Black Pub. They can have butterfly tables.
Brokaw Hall

Brokaw Hall was designated historic in 1996 after homeowners passed a bond measure to buy it and the property it sits on. Taxpayers are still paying for the purchase. Since then, however, the duplex, which lies within the Monarch Grove Sanctuary, has seen little or no maintenance and is crumbling.

City budget director Jim Becklenberg said the city would take action if it finds the building poses a hazard to the public. “We are trying to evaluate what the best use is for the building and how it can enhance the visitors’ experience there,” said Becklenberg, adding that there are no current plans to tear it down.
