Alleged El Pollo Loco Burglar Arrested After Returning To Scene Of The Crime For Lunch

http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014...er-returning-to-scene-of-the-crime-for-lunch/

COSTA MESA (CBSLA.com) — An alleged serial burglar’s craving for El Pollo Loco appears to have done him in.

Daniel Warn, 28, was caught on security video in the early morning hours of July 16 going through the drive-thru window at the fast food restaurant in Costa Mesa.

Video allegedly showed him ransacking the eatery, but he failed to find any money.

Later that day, police say Warn, of Bloomington, returned to the El Pollo Local to order food wearing the same distinctive hat and bright green shirt.

“Shortly before noon on July 16, employees at the El Pollo Loco contacted Costa Mesa Police reporting that a subject matching the description of the suspect seen on the store video was back at the restaurant, in line to order food,” authorities said.

Warn was arrested at the restaurant.

He is also a suspect in several other commercial burglaries in the south Costa Mesa area that occurred earlier in the week.

Warn, who has a criminal arrest record, was out of jail as part of California’s Realignment program.

He is being held at the Orange County Jail on $35,000 bail

Trail Of Corn Dogs Leads To Burglary Arrest

Blood, shattered glass and corn dogs led officers to a burglary suspect in Shawnee.

Police arrested Dakota Lasley, 18, on complaints of second-degree burglary and obstruction. He's accused of breaking into a Sonic Drive-In.

When officers arrived to investigate the Sonic break-in, they found a shattered glass door and a man inside the restaurant. The suspect was able to get away, but moments later, officers saw him running down the street. They followed him to a home two blocks south of the Sonic.

The officers entered through an open door and found Lasley in a bedroom. He had fresh blood on his hands and fingers and shattered glass in the soles of his shoes, said officer Casey Vague.

According to a police report, Lasley told officers he, "Could have blacked out from drinking and done something stupid."

During the investigation, officers said they found a trail of food from the Sonic to the home where Lasley was arrested, including foot-long hotdogs, hotdog buns, chicken breasts and corn dogs.

George Harrison memorial tree killed by beetles - Newsweek: http://www.newsweek.com/oh-what-pity-george-harrison-memorial-tree-killed-beetles-260742

So much for getting by with a little help from your friends. A memorial pine tree in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park dedicated to George Harrison, the Beatles’ lead guitarist, has been massacred by an onslaught of beetles.

The musician lived in Los Angeles in his later years (“Blue Jay Way” refers to a street there) and was a fervent gardener. Planted in 2004, the wee sapling had reached 12 feet in height this year. Ladybug and bark beetles have infested other trees in Griffith Park in the past, but the Harrison tree was among others reportedly weakened by California’s ongoing drought.

Harrison, who died in 2001, would have presumably found this irony comical. The musician once said that his biggest break in life was getting into the Beatles; his second biggest was getting out of the group.

Toddler crashes Jeep into house, flees scene in diaper

A toddler crashed a Jeep into an Oregon home, then ran back to his own home to watch cartoons, police said.

The 3-year-old boy climbed into the Jeep Tuesday evening and knocked it out of gear, according to the Myrtle Creek Police Department.

Witnesses said the Jeep rolled down the street, through an intersection and into the house, causing minor damage.

"The 911 caller witnessed the crash and saw the child run from the Jeep wearing only a diaper," the responding officer wrote in a police report. "The child ran into his home...I was able to make contact, where I found the child lying on the couch watching cartoons as if nothing had ever happened."

The boy told officers his parents weren't home and another relative was sleeping. Police cited the boy's 22-year-old mother for failing to supervise a child.

What did he think he was going to find a THREE-year-old doing? Dialing up his favorite bookie on his cell to ask if he knew a good defense attorney?

PS: Witnesses were able to identify the toddler because he was wearing a distinctive diaper.
Or maybe it was the pink bow/cigar combo that gave him away...
