Police Log: Pot Dealers Popped; Plus 'Where's My What? My License?'

Notable incidents encountered Sept. 30 to Oct. 6.

Once again, several motorists tooling around town last week were lacking something kind of important — driver's licenses.

Whether their licenses were suspended or never issued to begin with, at least a dozen drivers were stopped for traffic infractions and then cited for the licensing violations, particularly on Wednesday and Thursday, according to Livermore Police Department records.

While such offenses are fairly common in Livermore, the associated fallout and costs can be significant, as detailed in a previous article.  

In other news, two people were arrested Thursday at 10:14 a.m. on suspicion of multiple theft-related and marijuana charges on the 1600 block of Paseo Laguna Seco.

The male suspect, 23, from Vallejo, faces felony counts of possession of marijuana for sale, receiving/possession of stolen property and identity theft.

His female companion, 20, is charged with felony counts of possession of marijuana for sale, possession of a controlled substance, receiving/possession of stolen property and identity theft. 

The pair are to be arraigned today at the Gale-Schenone Hall of Justice in Pleasanton.

I agree with My2Cents that news and opinion (blogs) should be separate sections. For me to post anRead More actual news item, I can either start a blog which seems more appropriate for commentary, or post an announcement that will be buried in between lost cats, yard sales and other personal posts. The only way to get news into the news section is to have an editor pick it up, but with the onslaught of information and shortage of editors - many of them handling several Patch sites - chances are slim.
My2Cents May 23, 2013 at 08:32 am
I don't like the new layout either. The news seems to be mixed up with blogs. Also, in a news story,Read More after the first paragraph of the story, there are links for other stories. Put those at the end or off to the side. I want to read the story, not get distracted by some other story. I also don't like the little "signs" down the right side. What are they supposed to be about? They seem to be a mix of blogs, announcements, maybe news? Who knows.... It's just a mess. I can't easily find stories I was following as easily as on the old Patch.

It's pretty clear that the least important content on the screens are the news stories and blogs.Read More The ads overpower the screens with their size and bright colors. While I understand the importance of ad revenue, ads don't bring readers to Patch. Good content does and Patch can't survive without that. Ad revenue won't continue without adequate viewership. If this topic can't generate anymore comments than the few that are here, then I think a significant number of people have walked away from their keyboards.

i love the passion people show in Livermore! Thanks for posting. Luckily, it was not burnt out.Read More http://livermore.patch.com/groups/breaking-news/p/worlds-longest-burning-light-bulb-out-but-only-overnight
John Marchand May 21, 2013 at 06:31 pm
The light bulb is back on. Ironically, it was a device that was installed to protect the bulb fromRead More power surges that failed. When the bulb was reconnected to unfiltered power, it came back on.

About the only electric vehicle I would consider buying is one that did not require charging off ofRead More any other sources other than its own--meaning that it charges its own batteries, either thorough motion while it's on the road or through something like solar cells charging up the batteries and keeping them charged, even when the car is parked and it's sitting in a parking lot on a sunny day--until that happens, no electric vehicle is going to be practical outside of anything other than short trips or the commute. And as for how you got your vehicle, are there any other "carrots" out there that can be dangled in front of you so you can follow them, even into the oblivion known as electric vehicles that require charging from a source that is not part of your vehicle--because that sounds stupid and foolish to me. It sounds more like it is somebody's Pavlovian experiment to change our behavior if we buy the electric cars being marketed out there instead of waiting for the next generation of technology out there, the kind that won't require charging up the batteries or keeping them charged with plugging into an external electricity source. Before I would consider purchasing an electric vehicle, it should be self-charging so that a trans-continental driving trip could be sustained and made without worrying about running the batteries down and taking extra time to charge them up.
Sean McMenamin May 21, 2013 at 10:59 am
as well take advantage of it. What I'm talking about is a reasonable rate for charging that isRead More within going rates, not the usurious rates charged by certain companies. I always love the hundred yard heroes who hide behind a false screen name
Sean McMenamin May 21, 2013 at 10:56 am
I'm not a greenie.....the only reason we leased one is, because of the tax loophole on the taxes weRead More already pay, we have an essentially free car for a couple of years. Maybe you're just upset because you weren't smart enough to figure that out and take advantage of it. Just like everyone with their solar panels; if we're all forced to pay for it, you may

Seriously? AFGAHN food? Why can't we just get a Red Lobster or something?
Scanner guy May 18, 2013 at 02:05 pm
its going to be an afghan restaurant

Rafael and his crew do great work, and not just lawn service. He replaced our sprinkler system andRead More sodded two new lawns when we moved into our house. He and his crew have trimmed trees, planted flowers, and even built a new fence and gate. All at a fair price. I can't recommend his services enough.
