Police: inattentive pedestrian struck by SUV Traffic investigators said a 49-year-old woman walking southbound across the 1800 block of Garnet Avenue on June 29 was injured after being struck by a vehicle.

Ex-MBHS coach pleads guilty to drug charges Danny Ray Pamaran, a former assistant coach at Mission Bay High School, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of selling methamphetamine and was ordered June 25 to perform 20 days of public service work. Pamaran, 46, of Clairemont and his attorney asked for immediate sentencing from San Diego Superior Court Judge Theodore Weathers, who granted it. Pamaran was placed on three years’ probation and fined nearly $2,100. He was given credit for serving four days in jail following his May 7 arrest in Pacific Beach where police had set up a sting operation. Weathers suspended a 180-day jail term that Pamaran won’t have to serve unless he violates terms of probation. Repeated probation violations could earn Pamaran five years in prison. Weathers dismissed six other charges that included transportation and possession of methamphetamine for sale. Pamaran worked as an assistant baseball and football coach for about seven years, but did not teach classes at Mission Bay High School. He was terminated by school officials after his arrest. — Neal Putnam

Ex-MB fitness center worker held in ID thefts Police detectives arrested a former Wave House Athletic Club employee they believe stole the identities of at least 20 members and used the personal information to make at least $40,000 worth of online purchases. Christopher Polley, 26, has not worked for the Mission Beach fitness center since January, but investigators said he used his former position while he was there to obtain personal information from applications and contracts. Most of the victims, according to investigators, live or have lived in Pacific Beach. Police allege Polley used the information to set up “bill me later” credit accounts online and used these to purchase items on Overstock.com, Jet Blue and eBay. Investigators served a search warrant on his Monmouth Drive address in Pacific Beach on June 26 and discovered what they said was evidence linking Polley to the identification-theft cases. Polley began working for the fitness center in May 2010, and investigators said there may be more victims who have not yet come forward. On June 26, 2012, detectives from the San Diego Police Department Economic Crimes Unit initiated a search warrant at 1632 Monmouth Drive, in the Pacific Beach area. During the execution of the search warrant, numerous items and membership applications from the Wave House Athletic Club were discovered linking Polley to the crimes. He was arrested on suspicion of possessing personal profiles, stolen property, grand theft and a drug-possession count. Polley is being held on $400,000 bail. Possible DUI case ends with driver hitting wall Two people were injured June 29 when the Ford F-150 truck they were riding in slammed into a wall on northbound Ingraham Street near Crown Point Drive shortly before 5 a.m. The 63-year-old male driver, who police suspect had been drinking, suffered pelvic and wrist injuries. His passenger, identified as a 41-year-old woman, suffered a head injury and serious leg injuries, according to investigators. Both were transported to the hospital for treatment. Police said the vehicle had been traveling at a high rate of speed when the accident happened. The crash scene closed down the area between Buena Vista Street and West Mission Bay Drive for about five hours, according to officials. Driver lands vehicle in De Anza Cove A tourist driving on Mission Bay Drive plunged into the depths of Fiesta Bay after driving his Mercedes Benz off the De Anza Cove boat launch just before 10 p.m. on June 20. The sole occupant was able to escape on his own from his sinking vehicle and did not suffer major injuries. The man said he was unfamiliar with the area, and witnesses said he might have been on his cell phone just prior to the accident. Although witnesses told police that the man was driving at a high rate of speed, he is not suspected of driving under the influence and does not currently face any charges. A tow truck assisted safety officials in getting the vehicle out of the water. — Mariko Lamb
