P.G. Cops Get DNA Kits

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.”

Wasn’t is supposed to be self sustainable?

Mayor Carmelita Garcia and Councilman Dan Miller voted against the measure, objecting to the city operating the golf clubhouse grill through June 30 until a new operator can be found. That is estimated to cost $203,000 to employ cooks and waiters while reaping an estimated $230,000 in income.

Taxi On Row

Hacks in fear of higher fees. I can think of some other less qualified leaders they might fall under.

Did someone say TAMC?

Hunter Harvath, assistant general manager of the transit agency, said he understands the nervous uncertainty behind the drivers’ concerns. But he said details of how the new taxi agency will work are still being worked out.

“We have not charged a penny to anyone yet,” he said. “We are still in the formulation period.”

He, too, denied the allegation that MST — which is governed by elected officials from cities and Monterey County — took on the taxi authority to spur bus ridership at the expense of cabbies.

“It’s nothing we asked for. We have our hands full trying to run a bus company,” he said.

Gangs moving in on us. Don’t be an easy mark for the putos.

Pacific Grove police stopped a car in the 500 block of Lighthouse Avenue at 11:38 p.m. that matched the description of a vehicle wanted by the Monterey Police Department in connection with a series of auto burglaries that occurred earlier Tuesday evening.

Officers said they found GPS units, cell phone accessories, sunglasses, a portable television, a screw driver, pliers and large canister of illegal pepper spray inside the car. Officers also smelled marijuana coming from inside the vehicle, police said.

Monterey police who went to the scene took Octavio Castillo, 18, Kevin Melcho, 18 and two juveniles into custody.

Doctor Fail – Should Have Taken Deborah King Off The Streets

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

Posted on by

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.

Bad bummer – wet, freezing, stranded then arrested

Corey King

Corey King, 22, of Pacific Grove, was arrested on felony warrants for driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license and petty theft with a prior.

The arrest came after King and two of his friends called for help when all of their backpacking gear, including matches and clothes, were soaked by rain. Officials said the men, who have been backpacking since Friday, had been in “grave danger” of freezing.

Following the rescue, officials learned that King had a felony no-bail warrant for his arrest. King was arrested for the warrant and the two other men and dog returned home.

$7.8 Million School Bonds For P.G.

Posted on by

More busy work for DMC Construction I reckon. Another stadium and two more parking lots should take care of that.

The Pacific Grove Unified School District will receive $7.8 million in federal Qualified School Construction Bond tax credits, according to the state Department of Education.

These provide federal tax credits in lieu of interest to lenders who purchase bonds from the chosen schools. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the selected districts also have the option to receive a direct cash subsidy payment from the Treasury.
