On Sunday, Oct. 1, at 2:21 p.m., Santa Monica Police officers responded to the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Pico Boulevard regarding a report of vandalism. When officers arrived, they spoke to a woman who said she was involved in a traffic dispute with a man. When she stopped her vehicle, she said the man got out of his vehicle and slashed all four tires on her car with a knife, then drove off. Responding officers stopped the suspect’s vehicle in the 1000 block of Colorado Boulevard and arrested him. The suspect was identified as Alfonso Saucedo Jr., 32, of Santa Cruz. His bail was set at $20,000.

On Saturday, Sept. 30, at 9:17 p.m., police responded to the 1800 block of 16th Street regard- ing an assault. When officers arrived, they spoke to a youth who said he was playing with a friend by throwing sticks to pop balloons. A stick fell near the suspect, who approached the youth and his friend and asked why they were throwing things at him. The youth said he told the suspect he was not throwing sticks and that it was an accident. The suspect then struck the youth with his fist. The youth was not seriously injured. The suspect was later arrested and booked for assault on a child. He was identified as Delbert Rene Reyes, 18, of Los Angeles. His bail was set at $50,000.

On Friday, Sept. 29, at 1 p.m., two undercover vice officers saw two female pedestrians walk- ing in the area of Lincoln Boulevard and Pier Avenue. The officers stopped and talked to them, and during the conversation the suspects offered the officers sex for money. Both sus- pects were placed under arrest for prostitution. The suspects were identified as Theresa Marie Lugo, 19, of Anaheim, and Helen Eva Spry, 19, of Gardena. Their bail was set at $10,000 each.

So Colorado State University researcher Edward Hoover turned to fawns hand-raised indoors in Georgia, which has not experi- enced chronic wasting disease. “This allows you to do this safely so the deer aren’t freaking out,” explained Hoover, who reported the first evidence of saliva’s long-suspected role in Friday’s edition of the journal Science. “These deer are calm and approachable.” Hoover took saliva from wild Colorado deer found dying of CWD, and squirted it into the mouths of three of the healthy tame deer — about 3 tablespoons worth. Additional tame deer were exposed to blood, urine and feces from CWD-infected deer.
