Police Investigate Hazardous Sporting Events

A bocce battle and a jogger targeted by rocks and eggs are in the Martinez police reports from March 10 to March 13, along with other unusual and sometimes criminal behavior.

March 10
Joggers beware. Reported to Martinez police at 1:03 a.m., a man jogging at Pacheco Boulevard and Brown Street reported that rocks and eggs were tossed at him from a blue Toyota Corolla, last seen driving toward the Marina on Pacheco. Officers did not locate the blue Corolla.


Home burglary. A resident on Arnold Drive reported coming home at 11 p.m. and finding the house broken into and watches, jewelry and sunglasses stolen. It was unclear how the burglars entered the house, police reported.

March 11
Bocce battle. At 3:03 p.m., there was pushing and shoving by adults, with children present, at the bocce courts on North Court Street. Everything checked out OK by the time officers arrived.

March 12
Just checking. At 12:40 a.m., officers did a security check along Holiday Hills Drive because a house there had been egged the week before.

Smoldering. At 1:37 p.m., officers referred to ConFire a report of a smoldering camp fire left unattended along manmade bike trails at Hidden Lakes Park.

Frontier canine justice. At 10:25 p.m., a Harris Court resident complained about a neighbor over her back fence shooting a gun at her dog in the backyard. Officers gave advice to the neighbors.

March 13
Cursing and chasing. Officers checked on a report of a man chasing a woman into a UHaul truck with plenty of cursing and verbal abuse mixed in on Morello Avenue at 9:41 p.m. and small children in the area. Police responded and the area checked out OK.

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

The Fire Crew worked very late into the night and into the next morning. The Police were alsoRead More working nearby, picking up some of the dead baby animals that were hit on the road, displaced by the fire.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story.

Do City Council members still get free parking passes as perk?

The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More
