Arrests:

2:00pm       1800 Blk Sunnydale     Theft
Officers Dominguez, McMilton and Peregrina were on patrol when several calls of garbage cans on fire had been dispatched.  They observed another garbage can burning on Mission Street and had dispatch notify the fire department.  Based on the call locations and times they were dispatched, it was assumed the suspect was possibly travelling southbound on Mission Street.  While searching the area, they spotted an individual on a bicycle without a head light.  The officers decided to make contact with the male, who presented his California Identification Card when asked for identification.  Officer Dominguez noticed that the male had black soot on his left hand and a strong odor of melted plastic and scorched paper emanating from his person.  As the officer began a record check on the suspect, he spontaneously admitted to setting the garbage cans on fire.  A record check revealed that the suspect was on probation with a search condition.  A search of his person located several lighters and items which had the scent of a gasoline fluid base.  Based on the facts above, the suspect was placed under arrest and transported to Ingleside station. 

At Ingleside station, he was mirandized and chose not to speak with the officers.  The officers searched for camera footage in the area to no avail.  They responded to all of the locations and took pictures of the damages which they booked into evidence at Ingleside station.  At the instruction of Sgt. Daniele, the suspect was booked into custody.  Report Number 120203712
