It’s only the first day and police have arrested 8 people already?
Manhattan Beach Patch reports that Manhattan Beach police have arrested 8 people during the first day of the ongoing annual beach volleyball extravaganza. All 8 arrests were alcohol related & reports will be filed this weekend.
Some incidents reported by MB Patch include following:
- A police officer speaking to three women in the Vons parking lot. A 1.5 liter bottle of Seagrams was on the pavement about 10-15 feet away. One of the women poured the bottle’s contents out in front of the officer, who hailed a taxi cab for the women.
- While at Coffee Bean, around 1 p.m., a woman popped her head out of the restroom to say she was sorry for the delay but that she was helping a sick friend who was drunk and vomiting. After the two women finally left the restroom, it was marked as out of order.
- A vehicle whose driver hadn’t obeyed the posted signs was towed.
In case you didn’t know, one of the major problems which worries MB residents and city officials are these alcohol related problems and arrests. City officials have started banning alcohol on the tournament site since last year due to the high number of cases from the previous editions.
