Student is from Pebble Beach.

How many times was the opportunity to manage the bad kid out of the school system overlooked?

The boy gave Martinez permission to search his backpack and she found nothing unusual, she said. But when the student began acting nervously, she asked Howell to search him. In his right front pocket, Howell found a 3½-inch kitchen knife inside a homemade cardboard sheath.

Martinez called police. The boy said he usually kept the weapon in his backpack but was late that morning and put it in his pants. Asked why he carried it, the student took on a sarcastic tone, Martinez said.

“I like to cut things,” he said. “I cut many things.”

…..

The next day, Martinez said, she attended training at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. While walking through the hospital, she saw John Doe lying on a bed.

Terrorists At The Beach?

At around 8:30 a.m., a beachcomber reported spotting a suspicious device that looked like two pipe bombs taped together at the base of a 40-foot cliff near the 9th hole at Pebble Beach, according to the sheriff’s office.

The Monterey County sheriff’s bomb squad went to the scene, examined the device, and rendered it safe.

Art Theft Victims Prove Their Case With A Website

Because, if it’s on the Internet it’s gotta be true, right?

The two men who contend burglars broke into their former Pebble Beach home in 2009 and stole as much as $80 million worth of art launched a website this week in hopes it will help lead to the arrest of the perpetrators and recovery of the works.

The web address is www.pebblebeachartheist.com (2015 update, site dark, 404).

After the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office looked into the case, an investigator accused the two men — who claimed an estimated $27 million to $80 million in art had been stolen — of insurance fraud, and called the alleged heist a “scam” and part of a “criminal enterprise.”

The new website reiterates what Amadio and Kennaugh have told the press before: that officials never investigated the alleged heist and didn’t interview them or other potential witnesses.

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.

Pebble Beach “Art Theft” Victims Lawsuit Thrown Out

Ready for another chapter. C’mon you two we are all waiting..

Christopher Cayce, the men’s attorney, argued that comments to the media by the Sheriff’s Office, which suggested that Kennaugh and Amadio were involved in insurance fraud or some other criminal enterprise, were such “egregious lies” that they amounted to criminal fraud.

He asked the court not to allow the Sheriff’s Office “use immunity for criminal conduct.”

Shapiro countered that Cayce was making “wonderful arguments not supported by the facts.”

The men claimed in the suit that the Sheriff’s Office didn’t seriously investigate the art theft, but instead sought to discredit Amadio because he was involved with the daughter of a man with influential ties to the department.

Shapiro said he will file a motion seeking that the men pay for the county’s attorney fees.

Cayce said, “It will be appealed.” He said he wasn’t surprised by the court’s ruling.

County Asks Judge To Dismiss Lawsuit By “Art Theft” Victims

Relationships, defamation and dubious art thefts.

Monterey County is asking a judge to quickly throw out a defamation lawsuit against the Sheriff’s Office filed by two men who contend they lost a world-class collection of art to thieves.

An attorney for the county says in court papers that the two men – Dr. Ralph Kennaugh and Angelo Amadio – have little chance of prevailing in their October suit that accuses the Sheriff’s Office of publicly defaming them in comments to the media about the massive art theft.

Christopher Cayce, the men’s attorney, argues that the Sheriff’s Office “egregiously used the media to litigate this matter in the press.” He says the sheriff’s spokesman made “egregious lies” unrelated to the “underlying investigation.”

The two men contend that the Sheriff’s Office sought to discredit Amadio because of his relationship with the daughter of a man with influential ties to the Sheriff’s Office.

Moreover, Cayce says in court papers the two men provided the Sheriff’s Department with documentation about the missing artwork, but the media were told the men were being uncooperative.

All that for a used car and some video games. Stupid.
