Possession of a Stolen Vehicle:  On November 18, 2013 at 12:49 p.m. an Officer was en-route to “call for service” when he saw a suspicious Green ’89 Acura Legend parked in the 1400 Block of Partridge Dr.  The Officer believed he recognized the lone occupant (in the driver’s seat) as a subject known to be on Felony Probation, and living in the 1400 block of Partridge.  The Officer turned around, to get behind the vehicle, when the person seated in the driver seat exited and walked to the address where the known probationer lived.  The Officer had Dispatch contact San Pablo P.D. to have them contact the registered owner.  San Pablo P.D. confirmed the Legend was an un-reported stolen vehicle.  Officers contacted the residents and explained they were there to do a Probation Search.  In an upstairs bedroom they found a male juvenile hiding underneath a bed.  The male was the same person Officer saw seated in the driver’s seat of the Legend.  The juvenile resembled the other subject, but was determined not to be him.  The juvenile initially verbally identified himself as another person.  After being arrested the juvenile identified himself, with his true identity, and stated he lived in Oakland.  The juvenile was found to be on Searchable Juvenile Probation, out of Alameda County, for Auto Theft.  Alameda County Juvenile Probation advised the juvenile had an outstanding Warrant for cutting off his GPS ankle monitor.  Alameda County Juvenile Probation took custody of Moffett.  The Hercules case, for Auto Theft, will be forwarded to the Contra Costa County Juvenile District Attorney’s Office for review.
