Saturday, September 22
Rough night. A caller phoned Walnut Creek police about seeing a woman at a bus stop on North Civic appearing to “have a pretty rough night”. Things got rougher for the woman after she was arrested on drunkenness charges at 4:50 a.m.
What’s the problem eh? A family was in an argument at a home on Desert Circle, about “some family members leaving to Canada.” The group went on their separate ways without incident.
Cruising. The greenback flasher was back allegedly “harassing women, waving money, and blasting music” from his silver BMW 745I. He was spotted cruising downtown.

Blood or teriyaki? A caller saw “lots of bloody footprints” near an apartment on Sharene Lane at 8:55 a.m. The conclusion: The 'blood' was teriyaki sauce.

Honestly. Kudos to the kind and honest citizen who turned in a found iPhone downtown, the owner was able to pick it up.
A reminder. Please slow down on Ygnacio — several deer have been killed near the busy street in the last few weeks.
