Police Blotter: Sex, Drugs and a Rocky Road

Bus stops are sometimes nice places to meet people and have a nice chat, but not Saturday afternoon, where the road to somewhere was pocked by a unwanted incident.

A minor said that he was approached by another man who offered him drugs for a ride. The boy declined.

The other man then began making lewd comments to the caller before finally taking a seat at the bus stop near the north gate into Coto de Caza. 

Orange County Sheriff deputies arrived on the scene and briefly detained the man before releasing him.

The call came in about 2:45 p.m. on Saturday, from Antonio Parkway and Coto de Caza Drive.

Elementary school fight draws a big crowd

Remember when fights at the local elementary school involved elementary school kids? Not so on Sunday, when the combatants should have been well-versed for years in cursive and fractions.

Two men, about 18 years old, attracted a crowd of about 30 onlookers at Arroyo Vista Elementary School in Rancho Santa Margarita late Sunday afternoon, according to a witness who called the Orange County Sheriff Dept.

The caller said that one man was on top of the other punching him; in full warrior mode, neither was wearing a shirt

As the brawl winded down, the crowd dispersed toward the basketball courts, and six people were detained by sheriff deputies.

The call came in around 4 p.m. on Sunday, from Sepulveda.
