SATURDAY, JULY 30, 2016 
VOLUME 10 NO. 31 
SATURDAY, JULY 30, 2016 
VOLUME 10 NO. 31 
NO SKYZONE FOR OLD ALBERTSON’S LOCATION 

The City of Pasadena 
dashed the hopes of 
many, local residents 
on Wednesday 
when the Planning 
Department 
informed the multinational 
recreational 
company, Skyzone, 
that the site of the 
old Albertson’s 
Supermarket on 
Sierra Madre 
Blvd., in Pasadena 
was not zoned to 
accommodate such a 
facility. 

Skyzone is an Indoor 
Trampoline Park 
the offers adults 
and children a 
variety of activities 
including Open 
Jump, Dodgeball, 
Basketball, etc. They 
currently operate facilities worldwide. The closest one is in Covina. 

The issue is that the current zoning, CL (Commercial Limited) prohibits recreational use. The 
zoing would have to be changed to Commercial Recreational - Indoor Land Use in order to allow 
Skyzone to locate there. 

Representatives for Skyzone were not available at press time for comment. Whether or not they 
will seek a zoning change is not known. MVNews

COMMERCIAL BURGLARY ATTEMPT FOILED 
One Suspect In Custody- Alleged Accomplice Remains at Large 
The tranquility of Kersting Court was 
interrupted on Friday as Los Angeles County 
Sheriff Deputies and Officers from the Sierra 
Madre Police Department cordoned off the area 
in pursuit of two burglary suspects. 
According to Detective Henry Amos and LASD 
Sgt. Oscar Lopez, two suspects attempted to 
gain entry to Best Buy Drugs via the roof. The 
incident occurred between 4:30 - 5 am and the 
SMPD immediately sent out notices via social 
media for residents to avoid the area while they 
search businesses and yards around Kersting 
Ct., Montecito and Windsor. K-9 officers were 
used to assisting in the search. 
As a result of the quick response, Deputies 
were able to arrest 30 year old Jeremy Jamar 
White. Bail is currently set at $20,000 and he 
is scheduled to appear in court in Pasadena on 
Tuesday. 
According to LA County records, White has been 
charged with a variety of crimes over the last ten 
years including domestic violence, vandalism, 
assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder 
and one drug related offense. He served 60 days 
in 2015 for spousl abuse. 
Law enforcement believes that the second 
suspect may in fact be a woman. 
Best Buy, like other Pharmacies have been the 
target of theives seeking drugs like Oxycodone. 
In 2014 and 2015 the store was targeted. This 
time, however, quick response from the Sheriff 
and SMPD prevented the burglars from gaining 
entry. 
If you have any information regarding this 
incident, please call Detective Amos at the 
Sierra Madre Police Department 626-355-1414.
