Amador County – An unidentified caller reported that a group of males was disturbing the peace in River Pines earlier this month. The caller, who would not give his name, and could not name the subjects, said that “a bunch of riff-raff” (a group of males) was “driving around and threatening neighbors.” The incident was occurring behind the River Pines Store, across the street, and up on a hill across Highway 16E on May 18th. That same day on Sugar Pine Drive, a welfare check was requested for a male who had “been drinking and destroying his house.” The caller said the subject was bipolar, manic depressive, and he believed the subject could “take care of himself any longer.” The caller said in conversation earlier that day, the subject “was not making any sense.” A burglary was reported May 18th on Circle Avenue. The caller reported that a break-in had occurred possibly sometime that afternoon. The back door had been kicked in, and closets and drawers had been gone through. Missing items included a fax machine, a computer and speakers. Wal-Mart on Wicklow Way reported the threat of crime with the intent to terrorize on May 18th. The caller said an employee was terminated, then made verbal threats of physical harm to the “loss prevention manager,” who was “fearful for her safety.” The reporting party said the suspect was “expected back at the store sometime” the next day for follow-up paperwork. Petty theft was reported May 19th, occurring on Highview Way. A woman reported that gift cards were taken from her top drawer. She said she was on vacation and her son had friends over and that’s when they went missing. She said the gift cads had been used. Last Friday, an unlawful entry to a dwelling was reported occurring at Community Christian Church on Ponderosa Way. A homeless man was found inside the facility and was asked to leave. He was last seen on foot heading up Ponderosa Road. The man reportedly “left personal belongings behind at the church.” On Monday, 5 juveniles were reportedly vandalizing the new playground equipment at Plymouth Elementary School. The caller said one of the juveniles had a baseball bat. 2 of the juveniles were approximately 15 years old and the others were age 12 and under. On May 19th, Wells Fargo Bank on Main Street in Jackson reported a suspicious person. The employees felt that a man had been possibly “casing the branch.” He was described as a white male with a medium build, in his 50s, with long gray hair, black sunglasses, a black sweatshirt and light blue jeans. On May 18th, a caller reported the theft of property, after selling a 1996 Pontiac Firebird for $300 in April. A “stop payment” had been placed on the check, and the reporting party was “unable to get funds.” Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
