A Los Angeles resident got a lucky “brake” on Saturday, May 10 when he was arrested for driving under the influence after passing out behind the wheel of his vehicle. Officers were called to Base Line Road and Mountain Avenue for a welfare check around 10:30 p.m. where they encountered Erick Rosales slumped over the steering wheel of his car. Officers tapped on the driver’s window, however, Mr. Rosales was unresponsive.
On Saturday, April 26 a Good Samaritan helped prevent an attempted robbery when he came to the aide of two bicyclists who were under attack from bullies who wanted to take their bikes. The two youngsters were riding near Culmore Street and Towne Avenue when two male Hispanics in their mid-twenties jumped out of the bushes and attempted to steal the boys’ rides.
A man on the run Tuesday afternoon, seen driving a stolen vehicle, didn’t get very far. Police first spotted 44-year-old Glenn Davis, a Buena Park resident, driving near Scripps and Towne Avenues. Though he appeared to be compliant with officers, pulling over into the CVS Parking lot on the corner of Towne Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, he was only stopping to trade modes of transportation.
