Drug bust 

Berkeley Police executed two warrants on homes in Oakland last week netting nearly four ounces of crack cocaine, one-half ounce of cocaine and a semi-automatic pistol. The warrants were served to homes on the 2100 block of 8th Avenue in Oakland and the 900 block of Adeline Street in Oakland. Police arrested Parrish Grayson, 31, of Oakland and Tamara Arnold-Kidd, 29, also of Oakland. 

 

Offensive gorilla 

Police were called to the 2600 block of Dana Street Tuesday when a resident spotted a stuffed gorilla wearing a red and white San Francisco 49ers jacket with the words “I’m Gay” written on the back. Police have not determined if the incident will be classified as a hate crime. 

 

Robbery 

A woman at the intersection of College and Ashby Avenues was robbed Tuesday morning by a man who approached her and snatched her purse, he said. The suspect is described as a white male teenager, about five feet nine inches tall, weighing 150 pounds and sporting red, pink and green hair.
