Man With Five Dogs Investigated By Los Gatos Police

Man With Five Dogs Investigated By Los Gatos Police

Members of the Los Gatos Police Department received a complaint call last week about a man who had five dogs living on his property.  The town code limits pet owners to having two canines, they said, and this man was in clear violation.

The unnamed 54-year old wasn't home when officers knocked on his door, but law enforcement did observe multiple dogs living on the property.  One police sergeant described them as an English Mastiff breed, which are known for growing quite large.

Four of them were located in kennels, he said, but the fifth was seen roaming free.

An official report …

Long Beach Police Chief Not A Shoe-In For LASD Sheriff

Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell may have a long list of supporters in his bid to become the next LA County Sheriff, but that's not to say he's guaranteed to win the race.

Political analysts are saying he's by no means a shoe-in, and the winner in the upcoming election will need to have name recognition, community outreach and a deep-pocketed campaign.

This is the first time the seat has come open in a very long time, they said, and that's bound to make for an interesting race.

In fact, the last time the field was this open was in 1998. …

‘Mama Said Knock You Out’ Game Is No Laughing Matter

Members of the Los Gatos Police Department have said that all suspects involved in a series of recent 'knock-out' attacks will be arrested and thrown in jail.

The most recent assaults took place at an area strip mall, and officers believe the assailants targeted their victims as part of the nationwide "Knock Out Game".   But that game, according to officers, is anything but.

Police say the attackers prey on unsuspecting victims.  These predatory men, and sometimes women, simply walk up to them and sock them in the face or upside the head.  The ultimate goal, they say, is to render …

Man Arrested After Fight Over PB Sandwhich

It's unclear whether the sandwich in question involved creamy or chunky peanut butter.

The question as to what type of jelly may or may not have been involved still remains a mystery.

However, an Iowa man was jailed last weekend after he and his brother threw down over peanut butter sandwiches.

Authorities say the dispute broke out after 51 year-old Jerome Davis reportedly ate a half dozen PB sandwiches in about an hour.

This angered his brother for some reason and their disagreement quickly escalated into a shouting match.

At some point the now-defendant pulled out a switch blade and threatened to use it …

Looking Inside The LAPD Command Post

The Los Angeles Police Department Real Time Crime Analysis and Response (RACR) center is a living, breathing, 24-hour a day command post.
