Arrests:
6:09am Niagara/Cayuga D.U.I
Ingleside Officer Chang responded to a report of a citizen following a suspected hit and run driver escaping on foot near the intersection of Niagara and Cayuga Streets. Officer Chang and Officer Etcheveste, who responded to the area to help with the investigation, found two people nearby, the woman who called 911 and the suspect. The witness told the officers she was home with her husband when she heard a loud crash outside her home. When she looked out the window she saw the suspect standing in the middle of the street talking on his cell phone and one car that had collided with a parked car. Both cars were unoccupied. When she went outside to further look at the accident, the suspect began running away on Niagara Avenue. After recording her statement, the officers, then questioned the suspect. After observing several visual clues to his inebriation, they asked the suspect if he had been drinking. He admitted drinking a 40 ounce of beer the night before, but denied being drunk. He told Officer Etcheveste that he was not driving any motor vehicle. The officer searched the suspect for weapons and found a key and a remote lock to the car, which caused the hit and run accident a short distance away. The car was also registered to the suspect’s mother. The suspect declined a Field Sobriety Test and after further investigation it was suspected that the driver was under the influence of alcohol. He was later booked for D.U.I. Report number: 130346437.
12:22pm Unit Blk Patton Resisting/Delaying
Officer Hopkins and Cahill responded to the second call of loud music coming from a home on the unit block of Patton Street. The officers, from several yards away, could hear the music and see windows vibrating from the sound. In the backyard of the home, next to a public stairway, was a tent, inside of which was the source of the disturbance. The officers yelled to get the attention of the tent’s occupant but the music was so loud, the occupant could not hear the officers. Officer Hopkins had to hit the fence several times before the occupant reacted to their presence and turned the music down. The resident then approached the two officers and accused them of “harassing” him for playing his music. Officer Cahill responded by telling him he could play his music at an acceptable level that didn’t disturb his neighbors. The resident called the officers derogatory names and told them to “Go do something else”. The officers advised the resident that this was the second call for loud music and that he could be cited for disturbing the peace. The resident became even angrier and the officers again asked him to keep the music at an appropriate level before walking back to their vehicle. When the officers reached their patrol car, an unknown male was standing next to it. The male, displaying serious signs of intoxication, accused the officers of calling him a derogatory name. He was placed under arrest for public intoxication and transported to Ingleside Station. Other Ingleside officers remained on scene to further investigate the loud music complaint. While at the station being booked, the suspect suddenly became combative and violently resisted their attempts to control him. After a prolonged struggle with several Ingleside officers, the suspect was finally subdued and booked on a variety of charges. Report number: 130346948
