MONDAY

SUNDAY

* North Coast Highway: A resident called police at 10:23 a.m.

being done on the site and nothing could be done.

* Broadway: Police arrested a Laguna Hills resident for possession

of methamphetamine and suspicion of being under the influence of

methamphetamine at 6:17 a.m. Police saw the suspect pacing

frantically back and forth in a parking lot in the 300 block and

advised him to stay away from heightening morning traffic. He showed

signs of being under the influence of drugs and was unresponsive when

asked about his drug habits. A field test confirmed he was under the

influence and a search yielded a meth pipe and less than a gram of

methamphetamine.

SATURDAY

* Miramar Street: Police seized and destroyed three pipes, about

four grams of marijuana and a dagger after breaking up a party at

tailgating her on South Coast Highway and flashing its lights at 1:26

p.m. She said three males were in the Honda throwing eggs at her car.

around 7:30 a.m. saying her neighbor was blasting opera music. Police

arrived and heard no music, and the neighbor denied having played it.

The reporting party called again about an hour later, saying the

neighbor was blasting the music again, and police arrived again and

heard nothing. Officers talked to both parties, who were given

“solutions,” according to the police log, and they didn’t receive

further complaints.

JUNE 6

* Frontage Road: Police received a call that six teenagers were

trying to crash a party in the 800 block at 8:26 p.m. The teenagers

provided conflicting information about where they were supposed to

be, so police called their parents, who picked them up. One of them,

a 14-year-old, had to spend about two hours at the police station

before his parents were contacted.

* Temple Hills Drive: A resident jogging at around 6 a.m. said she

saw a man in the 1900 block standing on his front porch watching her

and masturbating as she passed. She pretended she didn’t see him and

kept going, then circled back to see if he was still there. He

reportedly saw her coming from inside and returned to the porch to

repeat the process. The victim reported the incident to police at

3:39 p.m. Police are investigating.
