FAIRFAX
Naked: A man in a local laundromat did his clothes while wearing only a towel. That was impertinent enough, but then he proceeded to pee in the wastebasket. That was the last straw for fellow clothed patrons. Police called. Service provided.
Standoff: On Dec. 29, a standoff took place between police and a man believed to be armed with a shotgun in his home. Residents in the area were briefly told to stay in their homes. The situation was resolved with the man voluntarily submitting to police.
Homeless Slobs: A citizen called the cops on a couple of homeless men in an encampment throwing “plates, bottles and various other items” into the creek. Service provided.
Leave Me Alone: A woman in a white fur coat (hummm) yelled at a man in downtown Fairfax to “leave me alone,” according to a call from police. Gone when the police arrived.
Yeller: A rollerblader wearing a Cal hat, yelled at people for no reason. So, police were called. Service provided.
Egger: A kid threw eggs at passing cars on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. He actually hit one. Police called.
DUI: A driver on Center Boulevard was arrested for DUI. He swerved in and out of traffic, according to witnesses, and nearly caused multiple accidents.
MILL VALLEY
Video Man: Police took a call from a citizen who said their was a strange behaving man on school grounds taking video of people. He was described as “stocky” with a short military style haircut. Advice provided.
Unwanted: A vagrant is hanging about a local restaurant and has been told many times to stay away. He has ordered food in the past and then not paid. Police called and asked to shoo the man away.
SAUSALITO
Hold My Beer: A homeless man reportedly slept in the sun room between apartments on Richardson Street on Dec. 27. He then went into one of the apartments and helped himself to a cold beer in the fridge. Police were called to the scene and moved the man along. The apartment dweller, who had never seen the man before, did not want to press charges. She just wanted him gone.
Good Neighbor: A resident on Easterby Street is in a snit with his neighbor. He called the police to tell them that he had a sign made for his yard. It was a “Keep Out” sign with his neighbor’s name on it. Now the sign is gone and he thinks the neighbor took the sign and destroyed it. Police listened to the complaint
Pre-Crime: A citizen called police on a man who was walking around Sausalito looking like he was going to “snatch something off of someone.” Police checked the area. Potential criminal was gone.
Keys: A woman lost the keys to her Jeep on Anchor Street. Police assisted.
Angry: A 70-ish woman in a red sweater caused a disturbance at a hotel on Bridgeway on Dec. 27. She had just checked in when she said she was robbed and the “staff paid them off.” Police responded and settled the woman down.
Argument: A man who refused to leave a place of business after getting into an argument with another man required a call to police who moved the man along.
See Something: Passersby noticed a large unattended blue backpack near a bench on El Portal Street. Police inspected it out of an abundance of 2023 caution.
Three Men: Three men stood in front of the City Council chambers on Litho Street. They were not doing anything, just standing there looking odd. Police notified. No action.
Perhaps the three men were wandering magi. It’s hard to see the stars in this weather. — they could be lost.
Not once but twice I was in a laundromat, same place, and a man came in, took all his clothes off and washed them. The first time I waited in my car. The second time, I didn’t know if it was same man, but I left to tell the owner of the 7-11 in the same group of shops – a Pizza place, 7-11, laundry and a hair salon. The 7-11 owner called the police, and he was arrested. Who does this????
