Be on the lookout for Mibrew (aka BREW, MILDEW or MILBREW) He is wanted for slander to the town of Coarsegold California. This individual is to be treated as unarmed but Verbally dangerous.

Rumor has it that he has been mining under his hideout for years and has hollowed out a 1,250,000 gallon capacity cavern where he has re-routed the town of Oakhursts water. A WELL know source (no pun intended) has reported that they overheard him talking to his partner Treasure Chest that they are going to hold out until the town is really desperate for water and then offer to resell them their own water at astronomical prices.

[Newcomer]

You make it look like all this happened in Coarsegold (which it did not!)

[Goddesschyyld]

The crimewatch is from the Sierra Star's friday edition.

The report is based on 4 zones - Zone 5 (Raymond/Coarsegold), Zone 6 (Oakhurst/Ahwahnee), Zone 7 (North Fork) and Zone 8, (Bass Lake).

[Jimi]

Subject was recklessly driving through the Yosemite Lakes Park clubhouse parking lot and almost hit a person in the parking lot.

the funny part here is this happened after the last meeting to determine the new YLOA board ... and the guy who reportedly did it is semi-famous .. I do say reportedly ... as I was not there .... my information is second hand ... however.... I know the lady who reported it....


Life in YLP ... how wonderful

[Newcomer]

I was just basically commenting on the topic title that brew posted http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/rolleyes2.gif He was making it look like Coarsegold was a bad place to live LOL. I will take this up with Mibrew when I get him in the Ski Tube http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/laugh3.gif He thought I showed an exhibition of speed in that Party Barge LOL. Just wait til he gets a load of my boat, He won't know what hit him.

[Jimi]

So .....Sarcasm alert ....


So we should ban Mibrew from Coarsegold... set up Mibrew sitings... Keep him away from "OUR" buffet at the casino .... Save our shrimp

Make him drive through Yosemite to get to his precious Bass lake....

No .... make him pay a toll ... thats it... all boats and owners of boats must pay a road fee to get through Coarsegold .... extra for those from Sunnyvale and surrounding communities

[TOT]

I wouldn't worry about it Newcomer, anyone who reads the sierra star is familiar with the crimewatch reports and knows how they're broken down.

what i don't get is why "A fight is reported at the North Fork Post Office." is on the bass lake beat ???

Yeah jimi, I did notice that. And it's very strange that the Oakhurst vrim log is so much longer when Mibrew is in town. coincidence? I think not. Mibrew has been know to push the law to their limits of handling call on thoses weekends. In fact I heard rumor that Mibrew once was drunk at his house and thought he heard a prowler and came running out of the house nude to investigate thinking it was the Teaford meadows prowler. I heard he was found wrestling around with what was not a prowler but a black bear when the law arrived. The sheriff took pictures and they somehow they made it to the Sierra Star who was going to publish them but Mibrew got a court injunction and stopped that LOL. It must have been quite a site.

[Kahlua Kid]

Yes Jimi - I noticed that Coarsegold was a much shorter list than Oakhurst... hmmm...

I have to point out some funnies... they said in one of the events, "No injuries were reported from the spit." I certainly hope not - generally spit doesn't hurt!!! Do you think they meant spat?

And...how did the wallet get stolen if "Wallet was stolen during an auto burglary at the Falls Beach area in Bass Lake. The vehicle was locked and secured and there were no signs of forced entry." That's a good trick!

[Kahlua Kid]

And one thing I think they should have edited better... (left off the age of the girl)

"Deputies contacted a 15-year-old girl on Quail Creek Road in regards to possible sexual intercourse with her grandfather."

I hope Quail Creek Road has a lot of 15 year old girls - or else the Star did not do a good job keeping a minor anonymous...

cause your posting the entire area crime watch!

[Mibrew]

Ok even though some of the crimes were in commited Oakhurst, most the people involved were visiting from Coarsegold. http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/wink2.gif

Just like at Bass Lake when Newcomer was busted for wreckless driving on the lake, it was reported in Bass Lake, not Coarsegold. http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/laugh3.gif

Just so as you all know... i snuck up and emptied Brew's spa and carried the water back to YLP in large containers in the back of my pick up.... LOL. Sorry Brew, but we need the water down there to keep the rattlesnakes cool.

[Mibrew]

Hi all! Is there a beat report for the week of 8/8 - 8/14??

We were up at BL & there was some woman who early in the AM (like 5:30 or 6) was near our house chanting (loudly). She then appeared to dive into the lake and swim to the other side. Apparently police (or is it sheriff?) found her on the other side of the lake & arrested her. But, that is all I know...was looking for more info!

[Mibrew]

Sorry Jenny,

<H3>Man accused of disorderly conduct</H3>

BASS LAKE — Wesley William Smiley, who bears a tattoo “White Powerâ€� on his chest, and a Nazi Swastika on his neck, was taken into custody Saturday night (Aug. 28) and accused of malicious mischief and disorderly conduct.

The 27-year-old Clovis man was reportedly creating a disturbance at The Pine’s Resort boat ramp.

When one Madera County Sheriff’s deputy and one reserve deputy arrived, they found a green Ford Expedition with a boat trailer already backed into the water at the marina.

They were told by marina employees that Smiley, the driver, had apparently driven through the cable of the boat ramp with his vehicle and trailer. Smiley, who appeared to be under the influence, was placed in the back seat of the patrol vehicle. Once inside, Smiley reportedly began banging the rear window until he broke it out. Smiley was booked into the Madera County Department of Corrections for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct and vandalism.

Mountain Idiot Watch.

Not sure if this idiot, possible MethHead lives in the mtns, but he was southbound on 41 to Fresno just past the Madera/Fresno line. We were driving our Jeep to workat 1750 hours when our jeep was merged into fast line by my housemate driver when out of nowhere there is this chevy s10 lowrider version right on our A$$ and going 90 very fast (he either merged right behind us or was going 90 miles plus an hour). He got his knickers in a wad, whipped around us.. came up VERY close to right side of car... looked over, flipped us off then sped up faster and merging into our lane nearly clipping our right fender. Basically this arsehole swerved into our right front with the INTENT of running us off the road. We woulda run off the road by my housemate swerved fast enough to get out of said MethHead's way. I got part of his licence plate and the car was a brownish chevy pickup truck with bedcover over it. We called the CHP to make a report (this is where i get really mad) and we told "if an officer didnt see it, it didnt happen"). So folks, this idiot is out still prolly trying to kill ppl... so beware. and hope there is an AWAKE CHP or Sheriff looking straight on to see the incident.

and before anyone comes back and asks what we were doing in the fast lane if we werent going fast.... we were going 70... had just merged over so to avoid the merging of cars entering the freeway after Friant road.

I had a guy play "games" with me on the 41 (hitting brakes hard, speeding up, getting over in front of me when I tried to pass around him) and try to run me off the road about a month ago - I called CHP - same thing, could take info, but if an officer didn't see it, couldn't do a thing about it...

Now why is that?

If someone threatens me verbally or with a baseball bat and takes off, I can report it and they'd seek out that person by the description - isn't it the same when they try to run you off the road???

[Yosemite_Wolf]

KK.. thats exactly what we thought. I mean, the guy basically assaulted us with his vehicle. in a way it was attempted murder.. not really, but is premeditated something. We tried for the citizens arrest thing, but couldnt catch the ba$tard... good thing cos he woulda been mincemeat.

[Summer]

How about videotaping them? Would that work? Maybe we need to haul around a camcorder.

http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/shout.gif There were 3 accidents that I know of Wed. morning on 41 beginning just north of the 22 mile house. 2 of them were about a mile north of the 22 mile house, one was by Yosemite Springs Parkway. I heard all of them were caused by the same reckless driver. I did not hear if they caught the jerk or not. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/no.gif

[John @ 3300ft.]

Next time call the Sherrif's Dept.
http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/yes.gif
I flagged down a Deputy in Oakhurst once to report a similar crazy/insane driver (passing cars on blind corners, not enough room, etc.) between The Mountain House and 41 Trading Post.
The Deputy took my description of the vehicle and direction they were headed and put out a BOL over the radio and acted on it. I don't know the outcome, but I think they have a better attitude on working with the local folk than the CHP.

Yeah.. i was coming home and I saw the after math of the two wrecks north of 22 mile house. I didnt see any aftermath at YSP.... but there were some pretty trashed cars on the side of the road above 22 mile house.

[citizen]

Every time I have notified a Sherrif of a bad driver they say its CHP's problem.

[Keith]

Hey Citizen http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/mask.gif,

Did the sheriff tell you that CHP means;

Chase - Him/Her - Please... http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

[jjcheyenne]

Does anyone know if they caught the jerk that caused all those accidents on Wed. morning?

[Yosemite_Wolf]

I think that when someone is caught and or busted for causing wrecks, or near wrecks (ESPECIALLY Hit and Runs or near hit and runs)... that they should be subject to public stonings http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[megabytebige]

Well I must addmit this part of the thread is what makes me mad about our law enforcement system. they should have never told you anything like well if we did not see it ....

The truth is that if you force the issue the CHP and other are froced to react, I know from experince that you as a citezion can have a ticket issued to someone else for almost any reason speeding, reckless driving, ETC... it does however become the reporting persons job to show up in court, the burdon of proof is on you. I know this can be done because I did this about a year ago and while the officer discorged it he had no choice but to follow up on the matter. I also found the courts will listen to you and if your ducks are in a row you have a great chance in winning and the offending driver will face Fines and other actions just as if an officer seen it happen.

I first found out about this when I was 16 and had an adult have CHP issue me a ticket.

BTW you dont have to have the offending driver present when you talk to the officer but you will most likely face them in court and they will have the reight to question you for thier defence, so if you do somthing of this nature then be ready with all the facts.

If you have a person tell you anything like this in the future just say ok let me talk to your boss, trust me thier attatudes(SP?) will change.

[beautiful_mess38]

I guess we need to start carring camcorders and cameras.. This is when picture phones come in handy. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/mask.gif http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/comp26.gif

I know I'll do a test. I'll keep the camcorder in the jeep. When someone tailgates me I'll hold it out the window, then the cell and see what happens.http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/driving.gif

Re: You don't really need a camcorder in the car for idiots on the road. My digital takes dandy still pictures of people driving entirely on the wrong side of the road, on a blind curve. You can blow it up with Picasa.com or probably any other photo edit program and you can actually see the liscense plate! It is best to turn the flash off then you can shoot pics thru the windshield. With one click my camera goes to "movie" and will record for several minutes. I have an Olympus digital however Kodak and most others have the movie mode also.

[Californee Girl]

When I moved here in 1994 I could leave my keys in the ignition and run into Vons. It still probably wasnt the smartest thing to do, but my point is that I could do it. I dont think I locked my house up for about eight years.

I used to have a job that required me to read the sheriffs reports for the blind. It was always such a struggle not to giggle when all I could read about was vandalism. I couldnt believe the things people would report. It would seem that our biggest criminals in those days were bored children.

But I guess this is all the price we pay for a growing community, right?
