  • On Tuesday, May 7, 2024, Santa Monica Police conducted an enforcement operation at Santa Monica Beach concerning a breach of California Penal Code 485 PC. Officers encountered an individual possessing a supermarket shopping cart, which state law identifies as misappropriated property if not reasonably returned to the owner.
    During the investigation, officers requested identification, uncovering a no-bail warrant and possession of paraphernalia. The individual was detained and arrested, and their belongings were secured in a plastic bag for safekeeping.
    The shopping cart was loaded onto the officers' truck for return to the respective store, ensuring compliance with property misappropriation laws.
    This incident underscores the Santa Monica Police Department's efforts to enforce local and state laws and highlights the challenges of addressing homelessness and substance abuse within the community.
    The individual was taken to a local facility, where further legal proceedings will determine the appropriate course of action. The community remains focused on maintaining public order and safety while tackling the underlying social issues contributing to such incidents.
    Santa Monica officials continue to work with local organizations to find balanced solutions that respect legal frameworks and humanitarian considerations. This incident serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in managing public spaces fairly and respectfully for all.

      I am guessing they would if they had stolen stuff, drug kit and no bail warrants... or even no permit etc. I am still sorry he has got himself into his predicament though. Homelessness is complicated at every level.

      Homelessness doesn't jump out and grab you out of nowhere.... it takes years of bad decisions , burnt bridges , and socially incompatible behavior.

      No kidding! If he would use the energy he needed to push the cart thru the sand to find a job he might get somewhere in life instead of being arrested on the beach.

      When people get dehydrated and then drink a lot of grog in the sun it can concentrate the effect and make them go completely troppo, where usually they might simply be a 'happy drunk' That is on top of hot days making people a bit grumpy in general.

    ALL shopping carts off property are stolen. I've yet to see a store with a sign that says, "FREE CARTS". Even Bubbles knows this.

    Shopping carts are built to take a beating and therefore are not cheap. We all pay at he checkout stand when they are stolen.
