Thomas D 09:25 PM At 2:45 I heard a woman yelling at the front door at El Molino. Apparently Thomas parked in front of her house, and while backing into the spot he knocked over a yellow "drive slow sign". When he exited his vehicle she ran up to him and called him some bad names and demanded he pick up the sign. Thomas said he was offended by her language and he ignored her and walked back to the house. I walked up the street with the woman, who was irate, and was able to talk her out of calling the police and eventually resolved the situation completely. We decided to move Thomas to Ocean Hills for the night in order to show the neighbors we were taking action to correct the incident. Thomas remained calm and was okay with moving, although he said he was irritated.

Chris W 09:24 PM Chris called me Saturday night to inform me he had found a room for rent and was done with South Coast. He said he would come by the house Sunday at 4pm to pick up his stuff. Chris did not show up on Sunday and I left a message on his voicemail to call Ken G ASAP.

Jason C 09:23 PM Jason came home on Saturday night. He left the house with another client at 10pm and went walking down the street. I found him and instructed him to return home and not to leave the house again without staff while he is on red level. The next morning i woke up at 8:30 to give him his meds before the client event and Jason had left the house and signed out "starbucks 9:00 am". I informed the program director and when he returned he agreed to comply from now on. When we were leaving to go to the BBQ I would not let him go back in the house to get a cup of juice and politely informed him there is no food or drink in the van. He responded by saying "you know what" and getting out of the van and slamming the door. I drove away and he called me 1 minute later and apologized in his own way. I drove back and picked him up and Jason attended the BBQ and the meeting without further event.
