Paint ball shootings

Two Martinez homeowners told police Jan. 1 and 2 that someone drove by their homes and shot it with a paint ball gun.

John Patrick Duggan and Roland Weisser, both of the 4100 block of Knollcrest Circle North, said their homes had been hit several times with paint balls on separate days, reports showed.

Weisser said he saw a small white pickup truck leaving the area after he heard paint balls hit his house, according to records. Both cases are considered criminal trespass.
