The Palisades Beach patrol continues to provide safety to residents returning to Palisades.
The Palisades Beach detail continues to patrol the hillsides and surrounding area of Pacific Palisades and make arrests.
Two arrests of note were made on November 29:
A male, 23, transient entered an area near the cabanas of the lower Bel Air Bay Club. He attempted to enter a storage room but failed. He found a bucket of rags and placed it in front of the electrical panel and lit it on fire, but it did not stay lit. Security arrived and the suspect was placed under arrest for arson.
A second suspect was arrested that same day. The man rammed the gate at the Palisades Bowl Mobile Home Park to gain entry and then proceeded to steal scrap metal. After he was arrested, it was discovered he had outstanding felony warrants. His truck was impounded.
The Palisades Bowl has been declared a public nuisance for failing to clear fire debris. Residents have asked the city repeatedly to clean it because the rain sends debris into the Pacific Ocean (across from the Bowl). Even with a fence, transients have been found camping in the former mobile home park site.
On December 2, a transient was asked to pack up and leave after trying to camp overnight on the beach, which is not allowed.
Today, December 3, police are seeking additional potential victims, following the arrest of a 32-year-old rapper and social-media personality Clinton Adams. The 6’1” male with brown eyes and dreadlocks was taken into custody November 19
Detectives from the West Bureau Special Assault Section determined that on two different occasions, he met the female victims, took them to a Pacific Palisades home that was vacant, but told the women it was his. He then allegedly sexually assaulted them.
“Both victims came forward to report the sexual assaults and identified Adams by name,” police said in a statement.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office filed three counts of rape by use of force against Adams, along with an additional count of assault with the intent to commit a felony, police said.
This is in response to the admonition against using “hurricane force winds” in regard to the Palisades Fire. Los Angeles Fire Capt. Eric Scott said on Jan. 7 that wind gusts approached 100 miles an hour. Believe this is what led to the description of hurricane force winds, although wind gusts are, of course, not sustained winds.
Betcha Clinton Adams gets a suspended sentence or community service and gets right back to “doin’ wut he do”.
