Month: April 2019

We’ve got a big old Weekly Dump for you this week! We’re talking about the court delay to the inevitable closing of Camp Bernal, a child finds a needle on Seabright beach during KION interview, a woman is stabbed in Seabright, a man is attacked with a hatchet in Watsonville, a walk in the park, bum breaks Lyft drivers windshield downtown, Watsonville police get guns off the street, stolen car shows up in an obvious location, asleep at the wheel, high speed chase on Highway 17, trying to get arrested, San Jose woman arrested for downtown robbery, just another Friday morning downtown, coffee shop thief arrested in Aptos, man falls of West Cliff, the big meh, Common Sense, local firefighters go ballistic, and more!

This week, we’re trying to stop bad ideas before they manifest themselves (yet again), Colt drops the hammer, drunken bottle brawl on Pacific Avenue, robbery and stabbing near Ocean and Broadway, three Aptos businesses burglarized, stabbing yourself in the armpit hurts, Transient California, rude awakening on the North Coast, hobbits in Santa Cruz, butts on the beach, a little Wagner for local conspiracy theorists, the wisdom of Dr. Drew, Maddy’s Garden, red white and blue beach sold, and more!

Wasn’t sure I was going to make it this week when the website went down today but it turned out to be a minor glitch and the reward is a timely Weekly Dump! This week, another young woman dies in Camp Bernal, teen driver sends pregnant mom to trauma center, Watsonville gang members arrested for shooting this week, suspected meth dealer arrested in Live Oak, Watsonville teen arrested with assault rifle at homeless campsite, another “post release community supervision” success story, busted in DRUG Camp Bernal, Santa Cruz city council votes to continue to do nothing about the homeless, juvenile arrested with gun at Davenport Beach, tasers and alcohol don’t mix, drunk driver on the railroad tracks, bike thief evades SCPD in Neary Lagoon, brawling behind the Catalyst, Ryan Coonerty doing critical stuff, Boardwalk announces summer concert lineup, and more!

So I heard the city is now waffling on the Camp Bernal closing date again. Spineless like jellyfish. But while they keep putting this off, one of their drug addled campers tried to kidnap an 11 year old boy from a city park this week! We’ve also got a guy with a knife taken down at gunpoint at Taco Bell, the city wants to double the size of the Homeless Services Center, SCPD parks their trailer at Gateway Plaza, a couple of Scotts Valley car chases with guns, fire torches Aptos home, naked guy trashes west side house, creeper at the local high school swim meet, Watsonville gang banger busted with assault rifle, getting pepper sprayed in the face by the bartender, and we have a new K9!
