At around 1:30 in the morning, Michael Osage was pulled over and arrested for alleged DUI. The traffic stop by a Martinez Police Department officer happened at Alhambra Avenue and H Street.

A home burglary was reported just after 4:30 a.m. when a resident discovered that someone had cut the padlock off her garage on Arlington Way. A mountain bike worth more than $500 was reported stolen.

One more thing—if you see a hitchhiker wearing an electronic ankle monitoring bracelet—it’s probably a bad idea to pick him up. When officers arrived to check out a call about the hitchhiker at Morello Avenue and Center Avenue, he was gone.
