Moraga Police Blotter: The Drunker You Are, the Harder You Fall; Smart Meter Mouthing; and Who Needs a Dang Driver's License?

Police officers aren't the only ones who don't like paperwork, apparently. Moraga police stopped a 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis for driving 54 mph in a 35 mph zone on Moraga Way Tuesday and quickly learned that the driver did not have a valid driver's license.

In fact, it turned out, the driver had never been issued a license -- although they did manage to chalk up multiple convictions for driving without one. The driver was cited for speeding and driving without a license and the car was driven away by a licensed passenger.

In other tidbits, a local business executive called police to report an unusual visitor at his home. Apparently, a woman knocked on the door of a man we would guess is somehow connected to the utility companies at 5:45 p.m. on Jan. 15 and said: "You're killing me with your smart meters."

Police said the woman turned and went back to her car. The homeowner just wanted police to know about the visitor.

And on Jan. 12 Moraga police were sent to Saint Mary's College to investigate a report of a man who had fallen out of a three story window. Officers assisted Moraga-Orinda Fire District firefighters who were busy attending to a 19-year-old student who had attempted to gain entry to his dorm room -- via his neighbor's window.

The student, who police said had been drinking, lost his grip as he was attempting to enter the window and fell -- severely injuring himself in the process.

He was taken to John Muir Medical Center for treatment of "several" injuries and, to add insult to those injuries, is being investigated for several campus rule violations.
