Keep Bailing

Neighbors must have thought they were watching a circus of some sort when police showed up at a home on Miller Ave in Martinez looking for a woman to do a check on a welfare question. Within minutes, the person who answered the door was arrested (suspicion of under the influence of meth) and taken to the County Jail in Martinez.

After being alerted by neighbors, police took chase after two others fleeing out the back. More police were called in to cover the house and arrested another, who didn’t go lightly, threatening the officers and fighting.

The police didn’t stop there, and for good reason. Two more were arrested for suspicion of public intoxication. Police kept the “arrest party” going by returning later and arrested another. All the while, some guy thought he would jump out the second story window in an attempt to flee the police, but since they were 7 for 7 already, what was he thinking? He fractured his ankle and got arrested and taken to jail. Police, while still on the property, decided to speak with another woman, who should have just stayed quiet, because the police were batting a .1000. Yep, you guessed it, she was also arrested. I guess she didn’t want to miss out on the jail party. Martinez Detention Center must have been rockin’ that night. (Nope, we didn’t bail any of them out!)

Crazy thing about this isn’t the fact that 9 people were arrested, but the person the police were looking for in the first place, was never found.
