Arrests:

12:10am     Alpha/Tucker               Firearm
At the start of the shift, Officers Bernard, Chew, Barajas and the remaining Ingleside Units were informed that a charcoal Grey Chevy sedan had possibly been involved in a shooting that took place in the Bayview District earlier in the day. With the information given, Officers Bernard, Chew and Barajas were on patrol in the Visitacion Valley area, when they observed a charcoal Grey Chevy sedan with four occupants inside in the area of Teddy and Delta Street. The officers passed the vehicle and ran the license plate on their computer. The vehicle turned and followed the police vehicle for a short period before turning and headed in the opposite direction. The computer inquiry revealed that the vehicle was registered to Hertz-rent-a-car. The officers then decided to turn around and follow the vehicle, when it suddenly took off at an accelerated speed, as if trying to get away from the officers. The officers followed the same route the vehicle was taking and after several turns saw that the same vehicle had collided with two other vehicles. Due to the fact that this vehicle matched the same description of the vehicle involved in the shooting, coupled with the fact that it appeared to be attempting to flee the area, the officers jumped into action and immediately detained the occupants. Officers Cassinelli and Quintero arrived on scene to assist. Officer Cassinelli smelled marijuana coming from inside the vehicle and a search was then conducted. Officer Cassinelli found a plastic pill bottle containing marijuana. Officer Barajas also helped in the search and found a Silver handgun concealed underneath the front passenger seat. The driver, who was on active felony probation, and the front passenger, a known gang member, were placed under arrest and transported to Ingleside Station. The rear passengers were soon after released. The driver and front passenger were subsequently booked for the firearm violation. Report Number 120949756
                                     **********Best Arrest of the Day**********

2:26pm       Blythdale/Santos           Narcotics
Officers Hopkins, Uang and Peregoy were on routine patrol in the area of Blythdale and Santos when they observed a Black Nissan with no license plates. The officers pulled over the vehicle and made contact with the driver. The driver advised the officers he had an extended registration sticker allowing him to operate the vehicle. The driver also provided his driver’s license and insurance information. While speaking with the driver, Officer Hopkins and Uang smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. When asked, the driver said he had a couple bags of marijuana. The driver said he had a medical marijuana card, but could not provide the officers with the proper documentation. The officers searched the driver and found two baggies containing marijuana. The officers then searched the vehicle and found the interior littered with Twenty nine Blue vials containing marijuana. They also located a large White container and an additional bag containing marijuana as well as a scale. Based on the officer’s observations, they believed the driver was involved in the sales and transportation of the narcotic. He was immediately placed under arrest, transported to Ingelside Station and booked for the narcotics violation. The marijuana was collected and seized as evidence.  Report Number 120950963


Serious Incidents:

4:38am       100 Blk Blythdale                            Arson
Officers Hauscarriague and Jones responded to a call of a fight involving a male and female on the 100 block of Blythdale Avenue. It was said that the female was in possession of a crowbar and that both of them were entering and exiting a vacant housing unit.  Once the officers arrived, they checked on the vacant unit and saw that the front door was off its hinges and was on fire. In order to contain and prevent the fire from spreading into the unit, Officer Hauscarriague removed the burning door from inside the unit and placed it outside. Officer Ma responded with a fire extinguisher and the flames were put out. The San Francisco Fire Department was called out as a precaution. The officers then searched the vacant unit and found no one inside. It was deemed that the fire was suspicious and an Arson Task Force Investigator was called out to investigate. Report Number 120949972.

8:27pm       800 Blk Visitacion                  Robbery
Officers Gomez and Lockett went to investigate a robbery that just took place on a Muni bus that had stopped on the 800 block of Visitacion Avenue. When they arrived they met with the victim who was bleeding from his hand and left eyebrow. The victim stated he was seated at the rear of the bus with two unknown suspects seated in front of him. When the bus arrived at the bus stop, the two unknown suspects got up from their seats and began to hit him multiple times. While being assaulted, one of the suspects said, “Go back to your country”. The victim stated that he is from West Africa and spoke with a West African accent. The suspects proceeded to take the victims cell phone, wallet and a plastic case from his pockets and then fled from the scene. Medics arrived and treated the victim at the scene. A copy of the recorded robbery was requested from Muni. Report Number 120951773.
