Saddle RackS Sugar tank
A man who moved on from his exgirlfriend was allegedly still getting sugar from her, only now it was deposited in his gas tank. He reported the alleged vandalism on Jan. 19, and that it happened outside his new girlfriend’s place on Jacaranda Way. He suspected the scorned ex was involved with the vandalism. The man told deputies his ex texted him, “These crazy phools from the Ave. were just bragging about finding your car ... and said they left you a present.” Upon receiving the text, the man inspected his vehicle and found a white granular substance on the ground and in the gas tank port. A taste test led the man to believe it was sugar. An auto mechanic estimated that repairs would cost between $200 and $400. The girlfriend admitted to hearing that some guys had targeted her ex’s car. She heard about it after the fact, she said. Deputies attempted to interrogate her further about the perpetrators of the alleged crime, but she did not give direct answers. She then ended the phone conversation. Deputies believed she was involved enough in the crime to warrant charges, so the report was forwarded to the district attorney’s office for review.
Dance the night away
A deputy conducting a “premise check” at a Via Real motel observed a woman after midnight on Jan. 18 waving her arms continuously in the lobby while engaged in a conversation with the clerk. The deputy described the jerky motion as dancing, and he went inside to figure out what possessed the woman to move in such a way. Immediately the deputy noticed the woman’s enlarged pupils did not respond to changes in lighting. The woman, 42, with an Ojai address, admitted to being on probation and that if drug tested she would most likely fail due to recent meth use. She allowed the deputy to search her purse, and he found multiple pill bottles, one of which contained a baggy of what
appeared to be meth. After seeing what the deputy had found, the woman reportedly said, “The cartel planted it there.” Despite the woman’s cartel alibi, the deputy arrested her for possession.
