Minivan to Man Punching It: What Did I Ever Do to You?

SHERIFF'S BLOTTER: Also, an unconscious man concerns residents, a drunk man searches for beer at a gas station, and an elderly man with no pants is found roaming about.

At 2:15 a.m. Thursday Jan. 9, someone called the sheriff’s office to report a suspicious person in the 100 block of Avenida de La Estrella. A man in a brown shirt was punching a gray minivan. Deputies arrived and arrested the 26-year-old, who has since been released from jail.
