Claremont police on patrol at 1:30 p.m. near Indian Hill Blvd. and Arrow Highway allegedly saw

In yet another in the long line of Blotter blurbs featuring the violation of the number one rule of criminality, Claremont PD arrested Delcenore Dunford at the Chevron/McDonald’s at 8:20 a.m. after he returned to the scene of his alleged crime. After being asked to leave the store at 860 S. Indian Hill Blvd. earlier that morning due to loitering, Mr. Dunford, 33, from Walnut, returned, and cops were called.
