Firefighters and Deputies Race to Separate Dueling People
SHERIFF'S BLOTTER: Also, a drunken driver swerves into traffic, the driver of a red Honda parks in some bushes, and a group of teens wreaks havoc on a local neighborhood.
At 9:06 p.m. Friday Jan. 3, a caller reported a disturbance in the 34000 block of Calle de Bonanza. Two people were in a heated physical fight. Onlookers managed to separate the feuding pair, but one of the arguers was extremely drunk and began screaming at the other person. Deputies and Orange County firefighters arrived to calm the situation.
