• April 6, 2026 - April 12, 2026 (ptreyeslight.com) — A recent sheriff’s log notes a Dillon Beach incident where an off-duty officer on a boat reported a tense dispute with a camper over crab pots and feared an altercation at the landing. The same weekly log details a mix of minor crimes, medical calls, and odd encounters around nearby West Marin communities like Bolinas, Stinson Beach, and Point Reyes Station.
