A man walking in the vicinity of Grand and Greenbank Avenues in Piedmont was arrested and a substance found on the man tested positive for Fentanyl.
The man was stopped at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 19 when he was found sitting on a bench with a glass pipe and “residue” on his mouth, according to Piedmont Police Department Capt. Chris Monahan.
The white male told officers he had smoked methamphetamine, according to Monahan. A search turned up two clear baggies. One contained a white crystalline substance and the other contained a pink powdered substance, according to police. “The substance was later tested positive as Fentanyl,” Monahan said.
Officers found a California drivers license with a different name and various credit cards not in the suspect’s name. The suspect was booked and taken to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.
Auto burglary
On Nov. 20 at 4:11 p.m., a report of an auto burglary came in. A 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup was parked on Scenic Avenue. The victim was working construction and did not see the alleged crime take place.
A passerby reported seeing two suspects – a Black adult female taking tools from the truck and a Black adult man driving a white sedan with a North Carolina license plate.
The vehicle reportedly fled at a high rate of speed towards the entrance to Interstate Highway 580. No pursuit took place and the case is under investigation.
