A surfer who was out catching some morning surf in Del Mar, CA stumbled on a stash of more than 70 lbs of marijuana hidden under a tarp on a rocky outcropping. Rather that take the No Country for Old Men route he immediately called the sheriff.
Responding deputies recovered approximately 70 and one-half pounds of marijuana,” he said. “More marijuana was found in a trash can in the (beach) parking area.” . . . The origin of the pot, which was bundled in 1-kilogram packages and two large burlap sacks, was unknown, though several people reported seeing a small boat in the area about 3 a.m., the sergeant said.
The surfer’s friends are apparently no longer speaking with him. Just kidding.
According to KTLA.com a teenage skateboarder was shot and killed at Madison Middle school in North Hollywood last night around 7:30 PM.
The shooting was reported around 7:30 p.m. on Hart Street and Ethel Avenue, Sgt. G. Patton of the Los Angeles Police Department said. . . The victim, who was not yet identified, was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. . . .Police had no information on a motive, but video crews on the scene said the shooting involved at least two juveniles.
Video crews on the scene? Anyone know who was rolling video in North Hollywood last night?
It appears that roughing up skateboarders isn’t Baltimore Police officer Salvatore Rivieri’s only pleasure. An artist from Washington DC who was video taping people’s reactions to a moving box (on top of a remote control car) caused the same officer to lose his shit. When the artist heard the story about the skateboarder, he knew it was the same officer and he shared his video footage with ABC 2.

We’d like to hear more stories like this one from the Baltimore Sun:
A Baltimore police officer was suspended Monday after a YouTube video surfaced on the Internet showing him berating and manhandling a teenage skateboarder at the Inner Harbor.
On the video, the officer, Salvatore Rivieri, puts the boy in a headlock, pushes him to the ground, questions his upbringing, threatens to “smack” him and repeatedly accuses the youngster of showing disrespect because the youth refers to the officer as “man” and “dude.”
Here it is in all it’s glory. A nice reminder to keep those cameras rolling no matter what. Guess this is what happens when a grown man is forced to patrol the city in an electric golf cart. Congrats, Officer Rivieri, you deserve all the trouble you’re getting, dude.
A year ago Gold Coast surfer Sam Page was celebrating his 21st birthday when he was beaten into a coma by a club bouncer. Now, he’s back in the water.
Page cannot wait to take part in the Jim Beam Surftag Series at Cronulla beach this weekend which will feature the likes of surfing legend Tom Carroll.
Two Boise, Idaho men, Robert Carl Befort, 26, and Jacob Jay Eller, 20, were arrested and charged in the thefts of two snowboards on Tuesday, Dec. 8th.
The men had reportedly taken two snowboards from Idaho’s Bogus Basin, however, the owners of the snowboards were able to give police a good description of the car and license plate. Meth makes kids do stupid things. Then again, maybe these boys at risk never had the Burton Chill experience.
