1:37pm 100 Blk Ripley Narcotics
Officers Campos and Burke received information regarding a possible Marijuana grow house located on the 100 block of Ripley Street. A search warrant was then obtained for the residence and executed by Officers Campos, Burke, Johnson, Yuen, Archilla, Sgt Alvarez, Sgt Salvador as well as Deputies Siegel and Alvarez from the U.S Marshals Task Force. Once they arrived, the officers announced their presence as police officers and that they were serving a search warrant. With no response from anyone inside the officers gave out the notice yet again. Before ramming the front door in, Officer Yuen tried the front door knob and found it to be unlocked. All the officers mentioned above made entry into the residence without damaging the property. Once inside, the officers encountered the resident/suspect standing at the top of the staircase. He was immediately detained and the rest of the residence was cleared with no further suspects found inside. The officers searched the residence and officer Burke found a Marijuana grow at the rear of the residence consisting of several Marijuana plants with plywood covering the windows, venting machines and the electricity being bypassed to run the illegal operation. Officer Elmore and his canine companion, (K-9) Officer Mac, arrived and conducted a narcotics search of the residence. Officer Mac hit on several locations inside a downstairs bedroom which was being searched by Sgt Lozada. The sergeant found Cocaine powder, Methamphetamine, digital scale and a large amount of money. All the narcotics and money was seized and the suspect transported to Ingleside Station where he was booked. The San Francisco Fire Department was called out where Battalion Chief Hale deemed the Marijuana grow a potential for a fire hazard and shut down all the electricity leading to the room.

Officers Hart, Phillips and San Francisco District Attorney Investigators McKenzie and Louie responded to Persia and Athens Street regarding a report of a suspicious person selling marijuana.

The officers and investigators arrived and found the suspect matching the description standing alone at the mentioned intersection. Officer Hart approached the suspect and immediately smelled the odor of marijuana coming from his direction. Officer Hart asked the suspect where the marijuana was and the suspect replied that it was inside his Red duffel bag. Officer Hart searched the duffel bag and in fact located the marijuana inside.

5:05pm 200 Blk Judson Narcotics
Officer Hurwitz was on routine patrol when she observed a suspect walking on the 200 block of Judson Avenue. Officer Hurwitz recognized the suspect from prior police contacts and knew he was on parole and had a couple outstanding warrants for his arrest. Fearing that the suspect might flee, Officer Hurwitz thought ahead and immediately requested for an additional unit. Officer Hurwitz stopped and talked with the suspect, not yet giving away that she knew he was wanted. Once Officers Altamirano and Thompson arrived, they took him into custody without further incident. The suspect gave Officer Hurwitz a false name, but she already knew his true identity. Officer Hurwitz searched the suspect and found a clear plastic baggie containing Methamphetamine inside his left sock. They also found a set of car keys, which had been shaved down. Officer Hurwitz knew that this is a method commonly used by criminals to get into various vehicles to steal the contents and in many cases the vehicles itself. The suspect was transported to Ingleside Station where he was ultimately booked on the outstanding warrants, narcotics and burglary tools. Report Number 120944596.
