Monrovia: September 2008 Archives

A man and woman were arrested following a standoff with the Monrovia PD in the 100 block of North Magnolia.

Interestingly enough, the story came to light because the woman notified the news media.

Here's a link to Robert Hong's story.

The incident apparently followed an eviction attempt. Another sign of a failing economy?

A woman who apparently threatened Sheriff's deputies on Tuesday with a shotgun is apparently barricaded ina home in the 100 block of Magnolia with a shotgun.

Now she's apparently threatening Monrovia officers who are outside her home.

We'll get an update as soon as more information becomes available.

*THe woman is apparently distraught about an eviction.

She called several local television stations to discuss her grievances, according to reporter Robert Hong.

As of 6:22 she remains holed up. Fortunately, looks like the local TV stations cared more about Bush's address to the nation.

Vacation is over. So is the Detroit Lions' season.

Looks like there was a mess of crime stories during the hiatus.

• The doctor who is a suspected molester.
• Another postponement in the case of Man-ling Williams, accused of killing her husband and two sons.
• Olympian Kim Rhode's shotgun being stolen in Lake Smell-some-more.
• An elderly couple killed looking at the full moon.
• The death of a Glendora man slain after a fight at his home.
