Once again, alert and
proactive neighbors stave off a would-be burglar. We have told a story like this one before. Way to go Santa Cruz!!
Yesterday (October 23rd)
a neighbor saw this suspicious person enter the side yard of a home in the 1100
block of W. Cliff Drive.
This is Timothy Dollar - 27 Years Old. Mr. Dollar self-identifies as “Transient”. He doesn’t have much in the
way of prior police contact.
Our alert neighbor took note and
called 9-1-1.
This neighbor provided
dispatchers with a great description of the suspect. Responding officers were quickly on scene and
located him across from the victim’s home.
The suspect, Mr. Dollar,
was experiencing his own drug-induced asylum and was attempting to break into
the home.
Thankfully he did not have the
opportunity to take anything from the home.
Mr. Dollar was booked into
jail for being under the influence of drugs and for unlawful entry.
