Driver evades deputies, caught later
“A driver was speeding up and slowing…on Highway 84 near La Honda. San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputies flashed their sirens to pull over the car, but the driver didn’t stop at several pullouts along the road. The driver made an obscene gesture toward the deputies and turned onto Peek-a-Boo Lane and sped off to evade pursuit. ..At the end of the street, they saw the car parked at a home, and they knocked on the door. A man answered and told them that the car belonged to his daughter…She admitted to drinking at a La Honda bar prior to driving home. She was cited for evading police.”

Three men arrested for single DUI
“San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputies at Apple Jack’s in La Honda reported being heckled by bar patrons…The law officers came out to the bar based on reports of a loud dirt bike blaring down the highway. When they found the bike owner, he admitted that he had been drinking and said he wouldn’t pass a Breathalyzer test. While deputies were questioning the motorcycle rider, other people at the bar reportedly began getting in the way… In the end, deputies took all three men to jail.”

Murder trial for La Honda camp escapee
“Two years ago in July, 16-year-old Adrian Sedano escaped from a remote San Mateo County-run juvenile probation camp in the wooded hills near La Honda. That wasn't an unusual occurrence at low-security Camp Glenwood, which had averaged about one walk-away case per month since 2006, according to a later grand jury report. But Sedano's departure became notable about a month later when he was arrested and accused of fatally stabbing 23-year-old Ramon Buenrostro in Redwood City…Since Sedano's arrest, probation officials say they have implemented more stringent screening of youths sent to the 49-year-old Camp Glenwood and instructed staff to intervene early when a juvenile shows signs of thinking escape. There have only been two or three walk-aways from the facility over the past year, said Chief Probation Officer Stuart Forrest, who was hired in April 2009…Less than two weeks after Buenrostro's death, the presiding judge of San Mateo County Superior Court ordered a three-month ban on sending youth offenders to Camp Glenwood until officials could improve security. County officials ultimately decided against building a $930,000 fence at the camp. The civil grand jury later backed that decision, saying a fence would "change the culture" of the honor camp…”

“All of a Sudden the Cow Popped Up”…DUI
“Prosecutors say a La Honda man driving on La Honda Road … was intoxicated when he slammed into a cow, wrecking his vehicle and leading to his arrest. David Hennigh 54, told authorities he was driving eastbound on State Route 84 shortly after midnight April 20 when he claimed, “all of a sudden the cow popped up,” said Assistant District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Officers responding to calls of the crash reported finding Hennigh inside a totaled car, alongside some hashish and marijuana. His blood alcohol content was .11, Guidotti said…Hennigh wasn’t injured in the collision but the fate of the cow is a little less clear. Guidotti said her office was not notified if the incident was fatal.”
