POLICE HDQTRS. — A homeless man wanted by authorities was arrested by local police Tuesday after they found him camping in the Palisades Park bluffs.
At 8:45 a.m., Curtis Lyle Fitch, 34, a transient, who was a parolee at large and wanted for assault with a deadly weapon, was arrested for a parole violation. He was taken to the Santa Monica Jail. There is no bail.
Officers located several people in the bluff area, which is against Santa Monica law. The City Council earli-er this year passed a law that forbids people from sleeping or camping in the bluffs, directly below the park — an area frequented by transients.
