Pebble Beach “Art Theft” Victims Lawsuit Thrown Out

Posted on by

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.

P.G. Smoking Ban Fail

Posted on by

No real changes where the public smoking really shows such as the front of Hazaras & Juice ‘n’ Java – carry on, future cancer sufferers.

A Bird In Every Pot

A city law tightening regulations for smoking in public places passed unanimously at its second reading Wednesday before the Pacific Grove City Council.

The ordinance stops short of banning smoking in outdoor dining areas or sidewalk tables, and allows smoking on the municipal golf course. It bans lighting up in city parks, beaches and recreation areas.

Sunny Nguyen Appears In Court On Murder Charge

Posted on by

heh, heh. Richard Rosen

Sunny Nguyen, 26, is charged with murdering Judith Salazar Nov. 21. Salinas attorney Richard Rosen appeared with Nguyen on Tuesday and asked that his arraignment be continued to give Nguyen time to retain him or another lawyer.

Judge Adrienne Grover continued the case until Dec.7 and ordered the shackled Nguyen to have no contact with his ex-girlfriend or children.

Though Nguyen’s extensive tatoo “sleeve” was visible above his shackles, he showed no sign of knife wounds Tuesday.

Suspect must have had his head down, that slash across the neck doesn’t look like a shaving cut.

One Way Lighthouse Avenue Is A Commie Plot

Delays

The preferred alternative remains a one-way, eastbound Lighthouse with two general traffic lanes and one lane dedicated to bicycles, buses and emergency vehicles.

City traffic engineer Rich Deal contends that controlling traffic speeds on city streets is easier with one-way traffic than with two-way, and cited Alvarado Street in downtown Monterey as an example.

But Alvarado street is not a main road into Pacific Grove. Reducing four lanes to two will not help ease traffic.

This is beginning to sound like a “Sustainable City” scheme, much like to stupid idea to reduce Pine Avenue to two traffic lanes in P.G. with exaggerated bicycle lanes no one needs. Until they take your freedoms away.

Monarch Cluster

“A lot of urban development has destroyed suitable habitat,” said Stuart Weiss of Menlo Park, a conservation biologist with Creekside Center for Earth Observation.

“Monarchs are very finicky about where they make their clusters,” Weiss said. They need the right temperature, humidity and wind exposure; otherwise, they move on to a more suitable area. The forests that monarchs like to cluster in are so small now, “the loss of a few trees can open up a site to more wind,” he said.

Weiss is working with Pacific Grove on a management plan for the sanctuary so it can better deal with the loss of trees or other changes in the grove.

“Urban Development?” Nothing but clueless people put in charge here.

Fresno Gang Members In Stolen Car Escape P.G. Police

Posted on by

Fresno Connection

SLO caught them. Not to many escape routes from route 1 in south county.And Moe Ammar always told us how much the people from Fresno like our town.

Flora Encinia, 32; Delia Pena, 21; Manuel Del Real, 21; Ramiro Vasquez, 22; and Joe Hernandez, 28, were arrested late Sunday in San Luis Obispo County after a crime spree that began with a vehicle theft in Fresno County.

The group is accused of stealing a black Lincoln Navigator and robbing two gas station attendants during a wild ride that took them through Pacific Grove, Big Sur and Gorda, police said.

Because their alleged crimes span three counties, they could face charges in any of them, law enforcement officials said. Most likely, they’ll end up in a San Luis Obispo courtroom first.

Husband & Wife Campers Fight

Who said camping was a way to relax and de-stress?

At about 6 p.m. Friday, Arthur W. Davis of Seaside began arguing with his wife over camping issues and walked away from their campsite off Naciemnto Ferguson Road in Big Sur, the Sheriff’s Office said. He ended up walking up a mountain and got lost. After waiting several hours his wife contacted the Sheriff’s Office, which then dispatched its Search and Rescue team.

Waited several hours for him to return before calling for help?

Everything he ever knew about fighting he learned in communal showers.

Police reported the case started late Monday when a cell phone was taken in a vehicle break-in in a grocery store parking lot.

The victim used the phone’s GPS and found that it “pinged” near an apartment in the 600 block of Archer Street.

He knocked and a man who had been working as a street sweeper in the lot where the break-in happened answered the door. The man denied having the cell phone.

The victim said he just wanted the sim card from the phone and offered $50. The man told him to come back later. The victim came back about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday with two police officers.

The apartment resident again denied having the cell phone, but the GPS indicated it was a few feet away. Officers convinced the man to return the cell phone, and he said it was in a downstairs apartment.

One officer went downstairs, and the suspect struck the other officer with a wet towel in his hand. He told police he was scared and nervous.

The suspect, Kenny Barba, 41, was booked into Monterey County Jail on charges of battery of a peace officer and possession of stolen property.
