Seashore Drive home burned in 2-alarm fire

A beachfront home burned in a two-alarm fire Thursday afternoon,

but no injuries were reported.

Newport Beach firefighters received a call of a house fire just

before 4:30 p.m. in the 5700 block of Seashore Drive, fire officials

said. A second alarm was called, and the fire was under control in 31

minutes, a dispatcher said.

No injuries were reported and a damage estimate was not

immediately available.

Man arrested after throwing sandwich

Costa Mesa police reported an assault early Friday morning that

they believe may be racially motivated.

A worker was making a delivery at a coffee shop in the 400 block

of E. 17th Street at about 1:30 p.m. when an apparently drunk man

made a racial slur, Sgt. Marty Carver said. When the worker ignored

the comment, the man threw a sandwich at his head and stole a

flashlight from the delivery truck, police said.

The alleged assailant then ran into a nearby bar where he was

detained by security guards.

Costa Mesa police arrested Adam Michael Dugan, 33, of Newport

Beach on suspicion of assault. They are also charging him with a hate

crime, Carver said.
