Month: October 2018

I’d say get ready for Halloween in Santa Cruz but really, everyday is like Halloween here. This week, the Auto One on Water burns down, getting the kinks out, like moths to a flame, another high risk stolen car stop, Mt. Hermon house blows up, drunks with guns doing dumb stuff, home invasion robbery thwarted, unconscious surfer pulled from water near pleasure point, 415@7-11, probation is the gift that keeps giving, a slab of beef, the Santa Mierda voting guide, so obvious, no mas, the Halloween parade, the Weekly Seen, and more.

Time for the latest Weekly Dump! This week, the city shuts down 2 city parks for public safety reasons (and more), city announces closing date for River street homeless camp, woman sexually assaulted in public park bathroom, three people arrested in Santa Cruz murder case, bohemian rhapsody in blue, don’t pick up the soap, fatal car accident in Ben Lomond, city council candidate mugged downtown, high risk stop on Market, ugly DUI crash on Highway 17, dead woman on bus at the Metro?, El Circo del Ayuntamiento, the Weekly Seen, the Happy Story of the Week, and probably a few things I forgot to mention.

There’s only one way to describe this week in Santa Cruz. Rojo Caliente! In the latest Weekly Dump, we’ve got a fire at the main jail which required evacuations on Thursday, SCPD has no answers for rash of arson fires, taking burning man too literally, suspicious fire in Depot park torches home, bum fight stabbing at the downtown Taco Bell, another creeper arrested near the high school, carjacking suspect arrested in Aptos, stabbing on Seabright Beach, Aptos babysitter sentenced for kiddie porn, stranded motorist killed by drunk on Highway 17, missing at risk woman found dead in Safeway parking lot, transient killed off Bay, making his mama proud, vote NO on Prop 11, Santa Cruz judge dies in France, El Circo del Ayuntamiento, the Weekly Seen, and more!

Five more weeks until the election and then we’ll stop seeing all the election campaign noise everywhere. In the mean time, we’ve got more local election coverage! We’re also talking about what seems to be a local arsonist on the loose near downtown, a creeper arrested near Santa Cruz High School, a Watsonville stabbing suspect is arrested, just another manic Monday, breaking bad, thieves steal a running generator, bad behavior at BSSC, motorcyclist pinned under vehicle seriously injured, Saturday night’s alright for fighting, probation is the gift that keeps giving, Aptos woman killed in rollover DUI, when it rains it pours in Scotts Valley, Soquel flasher taken down, asleep at the wheel, El Circo del Ayuntamiento, The Happy Story of the Week, and don’t forget to register to vote!
