The Weekly Dump 12.28.18

The Fat Lady is getting ready ready to sing us into next year as we celebrate the end of 2018 here at the Weekly Dump. None of those lazy “end of year” rehashes because everyone wanted the week off. Not me. I’m vibrantly honest all the time. This week, lots to cover so buckle up and settle in. We’ve got the local pyromaniac terrorizing shoppers at Ross (it was just a matter of time right?), a Watsonville man is arrested for attempted rape of a mentally disabled minor, this week’s story nobody wants to talk about, a man on probation is arrested with gun and meth, a hallucinating woman fires a gun through the roof of her RV, a couple of armed robberies in Aptos, tweekers and guns, your typical Friday night in downtown Santa Cruz, waving a knife around gets you noticed, au natural bridges, home invasion Grinch busted, when the walls come tumbling down, a Friend of public safety, Watsonville kids have their gun taken away, like a good neighbor, the return of Decinzotized, this is Us, and adios to 2018. What a nutty year.
