Police Log: Leadfoots; Bomb Squad; Scrappy Drunk

Notable incidents encountered Dec. 2 to 8.

A 37-year-old man, being placed under arrest for suspected public intoxication shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday on downtown's First Street, put up such a fuss with the Livermore Police Department, back-up units were called to assist, according to individuals at the scene.

"He was clearly resisting getting into the cop car," according to one witness. "They finally managed to get him into the car when he began kicking."

The suspect was removed from the vehicle, and with other officers helping, had his ankles placed in restraints, she said. 

He was eventually transported to Santa Rita Jail, Dublin, and booked for alleged drunk-and-disorderly conduct and resisting police, according to files.

His records show a prior Livermore arrest for drunken-driving in 2010.

Also last week, the bomb squad was called, plus numerous vehicular accidents were logged, including a car hitting a house, a car hitting a utility pole, and a freeway collision that sent a semi-truck sliding down the moutainside.

Seems like a lot of people get arrested for being drunk in downtown Livermore, the bars need to do their job and stop serving patrons who have already had too much. Patch should publish the names of those arrested, it is a public record, and it might make a few people smarten up!

@david: It's not the job of a bar or tavern to monitor drunks. These establishments are in business to make money. The message you should be telling our community is live a sober drugfree life so these embarrassing behavioral problems don't occur. Remember it's personal responsibility not paternalism that will create a better society. So anyway thank you for your concern as do the rest of the drunks thank you as well but their not to sure about your idea.

Who is responsible for enforcing the California Business & Professions Code, especially Section 25602 in Livermore if it isn't the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control?
25602. (a) Every person who sells, furnishes, gives, or causes to be sold, furnished, or given away, any alcoholic beverage to any habitual or common drunkard or to any obviously intoxicated person is guilty of a misdemeanor. (b) No person who sells, furnishes, gives, or causes to be sold, furnished, or given away, any alcoholic beverage pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section shall be civilly liable to any injured person or the estate of such person for injuries inflicted on that person as a result of intoxication by the consumer of such alcoholic beverage. (From http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=bpc&group=25001-26000&file=25600-25622) Because if the bartenders and servers of these alcoholic beverages where patrons are allowed to get intoxicated while at their establishments are not monitoring their patrons under the provisions of 25602, then they should have their licenses revoked before somebody out there gets killed or injured. Now if the ABC is not doing this, I would think that it would be incumbent on the city, if not its Police Department, to be doing this enforcing, but that's me.

They are beautiful and you described them so well! I hope that someone steps forward quickly! (IRead More have my quota of cats already.)

It isn't up to the gov. to help raise your kids. The stork didn't drop the kid off unexpectedly. IfRead More you can't afford kids then don't have them.
barbieann June 13, 2013 at 08:39 am
Wow, so quick to jump to conclusions and judge. Maybe T.G. BUYS the child's lunch. Every schoolRead More sells hot lunch every day. At the majority of our schools, more lunches are bought than given for free.
DeAnna Senft McDaid June 13, 2013 at 12:43 pm
The schools give us 2 options as parents. 1. Buying lunches on campus or 2. Send them with a lunch.Read More Clearly the author of this chose number 1 and the school was OUT leaving the child with NO 3rd option. Shame on that school.

A great issue! However, the rodeo is nothing but animal cruelty wrapped up as "tradition"Read More and "entertainment". Why would the animal's welfare become a concern now? Rodeo performers have been documented beating, kicking, and shocking normally docile cows and horses in chutes and holding pens. "Bucking broncos" and steers are provoked with electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and the pinching "bucking" strap, which is what really makes them jump, they are not "wild" and "dangerous" . The cowboys earn points by spurring the bucking horse. I have seen them up close and many are bleeding. Calves, roped when running, have their necks snapped back by the lasso, often resulting in neck and back injuries, bruises, broken bones, and internal bleeding. After their short and painful "careers," animals in rodeos are sent to the slaughterhouse. Dr. C.G. Haber, a veterinarian who spent 30 years as a federal meat inspector, describes the animals discarded from rodeos for slaughter as being "so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached [to the flesh] was the head, neck, leg, and belly. I have seen animals with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and, at times, puncturing the lungs. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin." Every national animal protection organization opposes rodeos because of their inherent cruelty. Don't feel bad everyone, I used to love the rodeo too. Before I knew better...

Something to consider and not pushing it aside because I feel its unimportant, but what I'd love toRead More have access to is how the riders that were hurt are doing today. Two bull riders got gored, one in the back and he was down and out for a bit and then obviously not "okay" as he stumbled out of the arena and then another that got his leg hurt and he couldn't get himself over the gate on his own. Left saturday's Rodeo hoping they were okay and would love follow up if at all possible. Thanks!
Danielle Nabozny June 8, 2013 at 03:00 pm
Thank you! That is what we want to know too. We have had more power outages this week than in theRead More 20+ years total that we have lived in this house!
Lynn June 8, 2013 at 07:03 pm
It would be nice to know, indeed. When my husband called to report the outage the recording saidRead More there were no outages in our area, which was clearly incorrect.
AT June 9, 2013 at 06:00 pm
I got the same thing, no outages when I called. I requested to be contacted by PG&E to explainRead More the problem. No call for that but I did get a "survey" call about their automated system. We have also lived here for 20+ years and never had this many outages.
