This week, it’s crime as usual: Stolen cars, narcotics violations and threats from alleged gang members as well as out-of-towners. Here are a couple events:
Meth possession
Eric Patterson, 29 of Gilroy, was contacted by police at 8 p.m. on Sept. 29 at Laurel Drive and Uvas Park Drive, for suspicious behavior – police though he was possibly attempting to steal a car. Patterson was allegedly too intoxicated to function. Police found 4.5 grams much meth on him, and booked into Santa Clara County Jail for possession of narcotics and for being drunk in public.
Self-proclaimed ‘gang member’ threatens a bar patron
Twenty-six-year-old Morgan Hill resident, Adan Urenda, who allegedly claimed to be a gang member, threatened to harm a patron at Rio Nilo on Monterey Street at 10:20 p.m. on Sept. 29. Urenda was kicked out of bar and came back, so Rio Nilo staff called the police. Police say Adan physically refused to comply with orders and was arrested for making threats and resisting arrest with no incident after an officer used a taser on him.
Santa Clara man threatens to kill Gilroy residents
Kevin Beurmann, 27 of Santa Clara, allegedly threatened to kill several residents on 1200 Bay Tree Drive at 11 p.m. on Sept. 29.

He was arrested for threats, DUI and for brandishing a replica gun and was taken to Santa Clara County Jail.
