The Sheriff’s Office said a man walked into the bar about 11:20 p.m., grabbed the bottle and took off.

An employee chased the thief, but was met outside by the accomplice, who punched and pushed the employee before trying to follow his partner who had grabbed the liter of gin, deputies said.

But employees caught the accomplice and held him until deputies arrived.

The suspect, Corey O’Halloran, 19, of Pacific Grove was on probation for trespassing on Pebble Beach property and under a court “stay-away” order, deputies said. He was taken to Monterey County Jail.

Pebble Beach Art Theft “Victims” Suing Their Insurance Company

But they dropped their lawsuit against the Sheriff.

The insurance company investigating the missing art work case for the last two years rejected the $500,000 insurance claim stating in letters to Kennaugh’s attorney, “It is our belief that the misrepresentations and concealment were intentionally committed by Kennaugh and Angelo Amadio in order to obtain insurance benefits.”

Two weeks ago, the men fired back with a $2 million lawsuit claiming the insurance company acted in bad faith stating it was, “Conducting an oppressive and lengthy Examination Under Oath of plantiff in an effort to unduly harass, vex, annoy, and burden plantiff in an effort to discourage his pursuit of his claim…”

“It is our belief that the misrepresentations and concealment were intentionally committed by [Kennaugh] and Angelo Amadio in order to obtain insurance benefits,” wrote Farmers manager Bruce Litton.

The company rejected Kennaugh’s $500,000 claim on his “Fire Exchange Broad Form Renters Policy,” because of what it called “concealment and fraud” and said investigators were unable to “confirm the legitimacy” of the lost art.

“It is impossible that the insured ever possessed a 1944 Jackson Pollock drip painting since Mr. Pollock did not begin painting this style until 1947 …,” according to a June 10, 2011 letter from Litton to Cayce.

Amadio acknowledged the discrepancy and said that his previous attorneys made a careless mistake.

“previous attorneys”, LOL

Front Yard Golf Course Destroyed

By order of the state. Make way for ugly native weeds.

Scraped earth is all that remains of a well kept mini golf course that was once prominent in the front of Robert and Maureen Feduniak’s house not far from Cypress Point. A bulldozer ripped out the lavish greens over the past two weeks.

The seemingly innocuous golf course — which looked like little more than a well groomed lawn to passersby — first drew the ire of the coastal commission in 2001 when the state agency was notified by a Del Monte Forest Foundation forester the novelty course violated a conservation easement limiting landscaping on the property to native plants — a condition of a 1983 permit for the home.

The monument must have got him.

A 47-year-old man was recovering Wednesday after he was tossed into the ocean off Pebble Beach near Bird Rock, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office reported.

The unidentified man was in a small boat by himself when the boat lost power and he began drifting toward shore in rough surf conditions.
