SFist Blotter

A fight on the Cal campus last Saturday left a senior with a fractured skull and brain damage and a member of the rugby team looking for an attorney. The resident went outside when he heard someone breaking a window of his co-op (at Prospect and Channing), and got in a confrontation with a guy wearing a Cal rugby shirt. The rugby team had won the national championship that night. The victim claims the rugby player grabbed him by the throat, threw him on the ground, and then hit him on the side of the head. The rugby player, through his attorney, claims the victim was the one who grabbed him by the throat, and that he never broke any window or anything.

A fat guy wearing a hat like Gilligan's has been robbing banks up and down the South Bay. His picture appears at your left. He kind of looks like Wilford Brimley to us.

A guy working in an unidentified San Francisco store was convicted of credit card fraud. The interesting part is that this guy had previously been convicted of impersonating baseball stars Derek Jeter and Nomar Garciaparra to sell fake personalized baseball bats on eBay. One of the emails he sent to the Original Maple Bat Co., from the email address derekjeter222@hotmail.com said he liked their bats because Jose Canseco used them, and could he send a couple samples over. This actually worked! The guy then swung the bats around for awhile and sold them on eBay as Derek Jeter's bats. Aw, come on --would Derek Jeter really use the email address derekjeter222@hotmail.com? Jeter makes like, what, $21 million a year? Why would he be using a free hotmail account?
