Title: Ernest Street Helicopter Action?
Post by: RiversideJodi on July 21, 2010, 11:04:35 PM
Anyone know what was happening about 30 minutes ago on Ernest Street?  Helicopter was circling for at least 30 minutes around 10pm tonight with spotlight.  Seemed to be Ernest Street from my vantage.

I lived off Ernest St just West of Stockton for two years and there was constantly a "bird" searching around the area at night. I know down closer to King on Ernest there is a small apartment building with about 4 units that always had trouble. I know there were at least a handful of times that I would be coming home at night and JSO had 1+ people stretched out in the front lawn or sitting on the curb.

I've seen police helicopters fly over quite a bit, but this was circling for about 40 minutes with the spotlight in one location.  Since a few folks on here live on that street or Dellwood, thought I'd ask.

There has been a lot of police activity in the area this week and I'm welcoming the clean-up!   :)
