| BRENTWOOD (CBS SF) — Police in Brentwood on Friday announced a suspect who had previously been detained and cited for vandalism before authorities learned he had been brandishing a machete on a homeowner’s front porch was in custody after being caught with a variety of weapons. On Friday morning at around 8 a.m., Brentwood police were contacted by a local resident who reported seeing a suspicious person with a large knife in his back pocket. The man was last seen walking near a creek in the area of Tuckahoe Way. Officers arrived minutes later and located 35-year-old Brentwood resident Adam Ortega. He was the same suspect who had been arrested this past weekend for vandalism and petty theft from a homeowner on Baird Circle. After Ortega had been cited and released, police were given surveillance video by the homeowner showing the suspect brandishing a machete outside their house on Baird Circle. Ortega was cooperative with police on Friday morning. He was found to be in possession of a machete as well as a hatchet, a knife and a billy club. |

| #2 But in Cali: Ortega - police wouldn't touch him after a call to the PR office. Brentwood - the guy is probably worth a few bucks. Again PR office would say bad optics, don't touch. |

| #1 That would have likely prompted a call to the county coroner and a next-day porch clean up in Georgia. |
