Drive-by spitballing in La Cañada
This is definitely one for the books. My wife, and sometimes competitor, Donna Evans, is the editor for La Cañada Patch, a hyperlocal news site owned by AOL. She shares a first-person account of a “crime” report taken by the Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s station last Friday. Here’s a taste:
“[G]iven the non-earth shattering incident of the drive-by-spitballing, I had to know: Is it advisable to take up law enforcement’s time with such a seemingly innocuous complaint? Turns out, it’s better to have it on the record, Lt. Angela Shepherd said Monday. The victim reported to deputies that at 12:15 p.m. on Friday a person driving in the 4400 block of La Granada Way (it was incorrectly listed on crimereporting.com as an assault on “La Ranada Way) got smacked in the cheek with a spitball.”
