Safeway Pharmacy Robber Accused & Captured
Picture from Coast Weakly
no, won’t be passing out acid but maybe something else . . .
Suspect lived on Cypress street in New Monterey and stupid enough to be driving his getaway car into P.G. Why do you think they call it ‘dope’.
The suspect, 32-year-old Brennan Tiffany, was arrested at gunpoint in the Safeway parking lot on Forest Hill Wednesday morning, when officers in an unmarked car spotted him.
Around 10 a.m. Wednesday, a Pacific Grove detective and a detective from Marina following leads in an unmarked car fortuitously saw Tiffany’s Toyota SUV entering P.G. via Highway 68. They summoned other officers and initiated a felony stop, pulling the car over in the Safeway parking lot and drawing their guns before approaching to arrest the driver..
Exodus Continues – Vicki Stilwell Quits Council
The council also decided Wednesday that Kampe should be appointed mayor pro-tem after Stilwell announced she is resigning effective Friday.
Stilwell said her reasons are strictly personal. She said the economic recession has hit her family hard and they must move out of the area.
To fill the seats of Garcia and Stilwell, the council said it would accept applications until noon Sept. 28. A special council meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Sept. 30 to hear from applicants, and appointments will be made.
Typically we go down the list of candidates – this would put Dan Miller & Ken Cueno in the seats..

Mayor Chosen – Carmelita Wins
By the toss of a coin. Could P.G. politics get any weirder? Good news for chicken owners. Only the losers supported Kampe.
Few members of the public were present when City Attorney David Laredo tossed the coin about 9 p.m. It landed tail side up, in favor of Garcia.
The council was split 3-3, with Garcia supported by council members Alan Cohen and Lisa Bennett. Councilwomen Vicki Stilwell and Deborah Lindsay backed Kampe.
After voting three times, with the same result, it was clear that neither Kampe nor Garcia would step aside, and their supporters would not be swayed.
Wind Chime Hater Left Town

Central Avenue Pharmacy Robbed Again
According to the police the suspect walked into the pharmacy and handed the clerk a note demanding Oxycontin. The police say that the suspect then lifted up his shirt revealing a handgun.
The clerk handed over the Oxycontin and the suspect fled the scene.
Next time, slip them sleeping pills. Or laxatives.
Last robbery was in June. That robber got caught when the P.G.P.D. got lucky. They must have been too busy investigating noisy wind chimes today..
Hero Coastie Saves Unconscious Diver
San Carlos Beach
Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew Garrison was working on the boat dock when he noticed and heard commotion on San Carlos Beach. A pedestrian notified Garrison of the situation, and called emergency medical services.
Garrison grabbed a first-aid kit from the station’s 47-foot Motor Lifeboat and ran to the beach.
Once on scene, Garrison found a 39-year-old female scuba diver unconscious on the beach. The diver had been pulled out of the water by fellow divers who had already commenced CPR. Garrison assumed CPR efforts and within a minute, the patient regained consciousness.
