Sheriff’s report: Feb 2

A resident of La Honda became a victim of “disturbing the peace” when the suspect neighbor continuously played his music from his home loud enough for the victim to hear from inside his own residence.

The victim felt he had no other choice than to sign a citizen arrest form for the suspect’s arrest. Deputies returned to the suspect’s residence, arrested him and took him to the county jail.
