Cop Stabbing Case Leads To Search Warrants
Most interesting is that the search warrants are on the cop.
Investigators said they have narrowed the case down to three possible scenarios to answer what happened on July 31:
“1. Gill was stabbed as he reported. 2. Gill was stabbed by someone he knows and does not want to say what happened because it might damage his career. 3. Gill injured himself.”
The night of the stabbing, officers asked Gill if he had any enemies who would want to hurt him. Gill replied that he had slept with fellow Seaside police officers’ wives, had affairs with married women, and dated 911 dispatchers, the warrant stated.
“During the course of a year, Gill said he might date 30 to 40 women,” the warrant stated
District Attorney investigators seized Gill’s cell phones and computer to look for emails, text messages and other communications from women Gill dated that could help identify a former lover who would be motivated to attack the officer.
Gill told officers that a man banged on his backdoor, stabbed him as soon as he opened the door, and fled in a car driven by a second man.
“Gill was dressed in pajama bottoms, no shirt, and wore a head-mounted flashlight around his head,” the search warrant states. “Gill had a handgun holstered on his right hip and a Seaside PD badge on his left hip. There was a bandage on Gill’s upper left chest.”

Patrick’s Consignment Store Closes After 24 Years
Can’t afford the rent. But Moammar has the money to reopen another thrift shop on the same property and continue his quest to be the Central Ave Gateway to P.G.
“The recession hit and I could slowly see our numbers start to decrease, and whereas we were averaging a 1,000 to 1,500 a day. I mean we were having 30 dollar days, 15 dollar days,” explained Strauch.
And that wasn’t going to be enough to pay for her $4,500 a month rent. After negotiations with her landlord didn’t work out, there was no other choice but to close. It was news longtime customers didn’t take lightly.
Tree Trimmer Dies In Pebble Beach Accident
Fall protection harness’ are required safety gear in boom trucks.
A 46-year-old Salinas man died Wednesday while he was at work trimming trees in Pebble Beach, the Monterey County Sheriff’s office said.
Carlos Amezcua was identified as the worker who died after he fell from a boom truck on Cortez Road at Rhonda Road, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Moe Wants Fast Food Franchises Filling Downtown
Sure Moe.
“It’s hard to believe but the current uses on the books date back to the 1950s. Perhaps it’s time to re-consider what the laws are,” said Chamber of Commerce President Moe Ammar.
Franchise restaurants bring in big business and tax revenue. That means you could see anything from McDonalds to Subway opening in America’s last home town.
“Personally, I think there is a need for the younger generation for places to hang out…and opening up later hours. There’s a lot of ‘mom and pop’s’ right now that close at 5 or 6,” said Ammar.
Some downtown shops we spoke with aren’t worried about new competition. They think they have loyal customers who prefer the small town feel. But one Burger Joint, 17th Street Grille, is concerned the change would mean the end of her business.
Catholic Radio Takes Over 1240 AM KNRY

P.G. Remodel At Butterfly Sanctuary
Practical and purposeful items like straight pathways and a historic building are out, zig-zagging trails and demolished buildings are in.
The path, which had been straight and wide enough to drive a car on, now meanders and is narrower. The small metal posts and twine marking the path were replaced by thick redwood posts and bulky rope. City workers added a drainage system to combat erosion.
Brokaw Hall, dating back to 1914 and formerly part of the Del Monte Military Academy, was considered unsafe and needed to be torn down, Zimmer said. It was dismantled in June.
“Brokaw Hall is gone and is becoming the hall of flowers,” said volunteer Bob Pacelli. He and other volunteers plan to add 75 plants to the sanctuary before the ceremony, he said.
He is part of a project to add eight new genera of plants. The plants have been used in the sanctuary throughout the years, but not recently, said Frances Grate, a Pacific Grove gardener who is involved in the project.
The long-term goal is to plant permanent flowers that the butterflies can use instead of relying on temporary plants brought to the park each year.
Country Club Gate Bank Burglarized
The shopping center has been a training academy for young criminals. Add stupid young criminals – this one thought the bank would have money left out of the vault for the taking.
A 19-year-old Pacific Grove man was arrested on suspicion of burglary and vandalism early Sunday after he reportedly broke a window at the Chase Bank at 170 Country Club Center, then climbed in to look for money.
The broken window caused an alarm to sound just before 6 a.m., police said, and they arrived to find Curtis Vanderslice, near the bank.
Vanderslice admitted breaking the window and going inside, police said. He was booked into county jail.
