Monterey County, California, best known for its nationally acclaimed Monterey Bay Aquarium, has long served as a top fishery location and hub for artists since the 1800s. Notable Monterey residents from past and present include guitarist Frank Zappa, writer John Steinbeck, and Leon Panetta – the former Director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. The county seat is Salinas; other important cities nearby include Fresno and Hollister.

In the News: Recently in Monterey, Raymond Saldivar was pulled over for a traffic violation and arrested by Monterey County Sheriffs. Saldivar didn’t have an answer why there were so many electronics in the 2000 Land Rover, which police eventually discovered was stolen. Monterey Police investigated the automobile’s registration address and found the home had been burglarized. The family was on vacation and knew nothing of Saldivar. He was booked into Monterey County Jail on suspicion of burglary and vehicle theft.
