Fake Gun In P.G. High Student’s Car – That’s An Arresting

Someone has to protect them against the fedora & trench coat wearing kidnappers . .

A Pacific Grove High School student was arrested Wednesday after an imitation rifle was seen in his vehicle on campus, police said.

Charles Lembo, 18, of Pebble Beach told officers he inadvertently left the airsoft gun in his car, police said. Staff members at the school saw what appeared to be a rifle “in plain view” in the vehicle about 9 a.m., police said.

Lady Bank Robber’s Motive For Serial Bank Holdups

She had financial difficulties and decided to take out a few low loans and not pay them back. Sounds like a perfect government stimulus plan.

Cristina Padilla

Cristina Padilla’s confession and other new details surrounding Padilla’s alleged crime spree are outlined in an affidavit for a search warrant that was filed by the Pacific Grove Police Department.

Padilla, 50, used the Internet to research how to rob a bank, the affidavit states.

Police searched Padilla’s apartment at 15 West Lake avenue in Watsonville and found clothing that the accused bank bandit wore when she allegedly held up banks. Also recovered from her downtown apartment were notes Padilla apparently gave to tellers in her quest to get money. One note read: “quickly hand me all of the large bills, no ones.”

The affidavit also details the note Padilla handed one bank teller in Pacific Grove which read: “This is not a joke. Don’t be a stupid. Give me all the money in your drawer. You have 1 1/2 minutes to give me all the money, then 2 men with shotguns will come in here and shoot you. Don’t be stupid.”

Her alleged crime spree began in Pacific Grove at Monterey Credit Union on New Year’s Eve. Police believe she then robbed two banks in Atascadero on Valentine’s Day.

AT$T Moves Antenna Towers To Motel

Cell antennas will replace the temporary ones that reduce dead zones at the cemetery. The radio energy paranoids have no opposition to the virtual farm of antennas atop the Holman building, free wifi at McDonalds or all those magnet induction streetlights that also emit radio waves.

The Pacific Grove City Council Aug. 21 upheld the Planning Commission’s approval of a cell-phone tower at a Lighthouse Avenue hotel, despite objections from activists who argued the radio frequencies could harm nearby adults, children at Parents Place and butterflies at the Monarch Grove Sanctuary.

The AT&T wireless telecom facility will include six 26.5-foot antennae housed within faux chimneys at The Wilkies Inn on Lighthouse Avenue, plus supporting technology. The cell tower will fill AT&T’s current coverage gap in that area of Pacific Grove.

Corvette Stolen In P.G. Back In Hands Of Its Owner

Not much involvement by police. It was widespread Internet attention that made the car too hot and led to it getting recovered.

Monahan got word late Friday from a San Jose resident who noticed the car parked near his house for about a week. The man contacted his nephew, shared a picture of the deserted car, and his nephew told him to call Monahan.

“The nephew said it looked like one that was stolen out of Pacific Grove,” Monahan said. The nephew had seen the stolen Corvette on the Internet, where the theft gained wide publicity. His uncle’s call came at 8 p.m. Friday, and Monahan hitched his trailer to his truck and was on the road two hours later.

He picked up the Corvette at 2 a.m. Saturday, got the OK from San Jose police and brought it home that morning.

Hyperbaric Chamber At P.G. Fire Station Back In Use

Story came just after a diver died at Stillwater Cove.

The chamber was not used for the diving victims Monday. They had the chamber on standby. The team was waiting for permission from physicians to admit the divers for the treatment, however one passed away, and the other diver did not show symptoms of decompression sickness. As a result, the chamber was not used.
It would have been the first time in nearly a year that this chamber would have been used again. It is one of the three in the whole state of California. There is one in San Diego, and one in Catalina. The chamber was temporarily not in use here because of insurance issues.

Pine Cone Gets Unfavorable Attention With Headline . . Again

Goes to show that nature does not care if you drive a hybrid or think that Global Warming Climate Change is important.

Pine Cone Prius Story

How else to explain the hysterical reaction to our front-page joke two weeks ago, “Tree smashes Prius on Highway 68 — but at least it wasn’t a Bentley”? The woman whose car was hit, her husband, people who listen to her radio show and even people who are just miscellaneous Prius owners reacted with the kind of obscenity-laden vitriol you’d expect them to reserve for something that actually mattered.

According to them, by printing that headline, and making light of the whole episode, we were acting insensitively, offensively, repugnantly, obnoxiously, reprehensibly, etc.,etc., etc.

P.G. Dog Is A Registered Voter

Davis said he has no intention of actually filling out and casting a ballot on behalf of Cooper in November. But he does intend to show how easy it to for a fake person or non-American citizen to vote.

“I’m concerned that non-citizens are registered to vote, and to prove a point, I registered him,” Davis said. “I’d like to have the system fixed.”

“I’d like to have them verify that you’re a citizen, or at least the right species. That would be nice,” he said.

Dog would vote for Ernest if he could..
