Suspicious Man in Hotel Is Arrested

SHERIFF'S BLOTTER: Also, a group of runaway firework violators, a stubborn friend overstays his welcome, and a cranky dry-cleaning customer.

At 11:27 p.m. Monday Nov. 18, someone called the sheriff’s office to ask for a pedestrian check near Ortega Highway and the I-5 Freeway. The caller asked deputies to check on a man inside a Best Western hotel room. Deputies arrived and arrested a 26-year-old man. The young man is currently in custody with no bail amount posted.

Also:

At 2:21 p.m. Sunday Nov. 17, an informant reported a firework violation in the 30200 block of Camino Capistrano. The caller claimed that a group of people was setting off illegal fireworks and had run away to avoid being caught.

At 4:45 p.m. Sunday Nov. 17, someone reported a disturbance in the 32300 block of Alipaz Street. The informant stated a 62-year-old friend was refusing to leave his home. Deputies arrived to diffuse the situation.

At 12:44 p.m. Monday Nov. 18, deputies received a report about a disturbance in the 31100 block of Rancho Viejo Road. The informant stated a man was being verbally argumentative with an employee at a local dry cleaning store over a service issue.

These are selected reports from the San Juan Capistrano Police Dispatch Services log throughout the past few days. The calls represent what was told to a sheriff's deputy in the field by the radio dispatcher. No presumption of criminal guilt or affiliation should be drawn from the information provided.
