FFFF is back.
Tell a friend.
Yesterday Friends for Fullerton’s Future broke the news that Joe Felz, Fullerton’s City Manager, was involved in an early morning collision on election night and was administered some sort of sobriety test after responding officers reported an aroma of alcohol emanating from the administrator.
From the story:
We at Friends for Fullerton’s Future can report and confirm that Fullerton City Manager Joe Felz was involved in an alleged DUI accident last night.
Coming home from the Downtown Bar scene where several election parties were taking place, Mr. Felz allegedly lost control of his vehicle.
According to the internal memo below, outgoing Police Chief Dan Hughes was informed of the situation and having allegedly passed a field sobriety test Mr. Felz was driven home by officers and his car was towed.
We are awaiting details as to the length of time between accident, phone call to the chief, field sobriety test and ride home.
Mayor Jennifer Fitzgerald was informed at the time per procedure but no comments have been forthcoming
Since FFFF’s publication, the story has been confirmed by both the OC Register and the OC Weekly.
Wednesday’s reveal of the storied and controversial blog’s return has curious timing. Chief Danny Hughes, Fullerton’s Police Chief, announced his retirement in late October. In fact, tomorrow is his last day, meaning resolution of Felz’s potential scandal will either mark his final act as Police Chief or serve as a final punt of a critical issue that could help determine Fullerton’s Future.
No word if Chief Hughes will have a statement concerning the Felz incident during his retirement ceremony at 3:00pm today.
FFFF is back.
Why now?
More importantly, what do they want?
Cool can’t wait o see tony kick up some dust! Welcome back Tony!
Nope. Apparently Tony sold the blog.
Anyway, they scooped the MSM – jusr like in the old days.
And I agree. The timing is very curious.
Sold it to whom?
No idea, but this is a way cooler read if you play the video.
I did like the video this morning for sure.
That’s a good question.
I smell a new thread coming on. How fucked would it be to learn that the Irvine Troll had acquired it.
Paul, a good rule of thumb in life is: only worry about things that are at least even remotely plausible. If I were him, I’d attach a rider to the contract saying that if anyone ever tried to sell it to that guy, it would immediately revert to its founder.
I hope that one condition of sale is that they maintain the archives intact.
And no, I am not kidding.
Timing … hmmm. Are you implying … that he sold it to Dan Hughes?
Hughes’s retirement ceremony is at 3:00 today?
Aside from the questions of whether Hughes will make a statement or Felz will make a statement or Fitzgerald will make a statement, what this story raises in my mind is whether FFFF will make a statement at that time!
I’m going to attend. Someone has to keep an eye on all of it.
go forth intrepid reporter!
OK, I think that you have my number if you need me at the police station….
Voice of OC reports that Felz tried to leave the scene and didn’t get far before the cops showed up to stop him. Whether he was intoxicated or not. leaving the scene of an accident is STILL against the law, right? That’s not one of those funny clauses someone dropped into one of the 248 Propositions we waded through Tuesday night, is it?
Well, if he was drunk enough, he may have just been stumbling around, which would negate his intent to flee!
