Rachael Louise Frank was taken to Napa County jail, along with a male friend, after police determined the pair had gotten into a fight and damaged one another’s cars, according to police.

The ruckus started late Sunday night in the 3600 block of Dover Street.
Jaime Alvarez, 36, accused Frank of punching him in the face, Napa Police Sgt. Don Honey said. Frank told police Alvarez put her in a head lock, he said.

The argument made its way outside where Frank said Alvarez pulled the driver’s window of her car out of its track, Honey said, adding, Frank allegedly used her car to bash into Alvarez’s vehicle.
Frank, 38, was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, battery and vandalism.

Alvarez was arrested on suspicion of battery and vandalism.
Motorcyclists crash

A motorcycle outing for two friends ended up with an ambulance ride to Queen of the Valley Hospital on Sunday.

Zachery Powell, 23, of Sacramento was cruising on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle westbound on Highway 128, east of Wraggs Canyon Road. He took a curve in the road too fast and dumped his bike on the road, California Highway Patrol Officer Jerry Rico said.

Powell’s friend, Jeff Haymart, who was riding his motorcycle too close behind Powell, slammed into Powell’s  bike and also crashed, Rico said.

Powell, Haymart and his passenger, Jennifer Haymart, 27, of Carmichael, all were taken to the Queen complaining of pain, Rico said.

Unwanted visitor arrested

After refusing to leave the front porch of a residence in the 1300 block of Pueblo Avenue, Soloria Armando found himself sitting behind bars early Saturday morning.

The homeowner, who did not know Armando, ordered him to leave his porch, Sgt. Don Honey said. When he wouldn’t comply, the homeowner called police.

When officers arrived, they searched Armando and found him to be in possession of methamphetamine, Honey said.

Armando was arrested on suspicion of felony possession of meth, trespassing and being under the influence of drugs.

" Another person caught with Meth, thats all I ever see in the police section of the paper. The government needs to make stopping the manufacture and use of meth its top priority on the war of drugs. Take less worry on cocaine from colombia or marijuana from canada or ecstasy from europe and start worrying about the meth problem being produced right here at home! Automatic rehab for any users, and automatic jail for selling, and automatic prison for manufacturing. This epidemic is ruining lives "

" That's an interesting solution presented by the last commenter, Mike. It's definitely on the right track. Jailing users isn't going to do any good, that's for sure; it does nothing to stop the problem at the source. No matter how many users you put behind bars new ones will -always- take their place. Addressing the social issues surrounding drug use should be priority number one, including the conditions that lead to chemical escapism. Handing out felonies like candy is only going to make the lives of these people more difficult once they leave prison - they're branded for life, and will find it all to easy to slip right back into the underground world of users and sellers. It will become the only world that will accept them, and there lies the true tragedy. "

" I AGREE MIKE. THE EPIDEMIC IS RUINING FAMILIES REGARDLESS OF SOCIAL, EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMICAL CLASSES. "

" I agree. I live in Butte county and I am constantly bombarded with reports of rapes, assaults, and other violent crime as a result of meth use. I have never heard of a person raping or assaulting someone as a result of marijuana use. I have heard reports, however, of football stadiums in the UK condoning marijuana use because it calms otherwise angry/violent/overexcited fans. "
