Arrests:
2:01pm Geneva/Prague Discharging
a Firearm
A report of shots fired sent Ingleside Officers Cvetovac,
Cuenca and several other Ingleside officers, along with two Ingleside
Sergeants, to the area of Geneva and Prague. The Department’s Shot Spotter
system focused the search to the 600 block of Prague where Officers Campos and
Thompson discovered seven shell casings and a stolen firearm hidden underneath
a parked car. Witnesses gave the officers a description of the suspect and his
clothing, some of which was discovered in Crocker-Amazon Park. Other witnesses
pointed out the suspect standing in the 1500 block of Geneva. He was arrested
without incident and taken to Ingleside Station and booked for several
felonies. Report number: 160047285
Serious Incidents:
2:01pm Virginia/Lundy
Ln. Attempted Robbery
A woman walking home noticed a man casually walking ahead of
her on Virginia Avenue. She told Ingleside Officers Stark and Carew that when
she reached the intersection of Virginia and Lundy Lane, the man suddenly
appeared with a silver handgun in his hand and demanded her cell phone. The
victim responded, “What? No”, and refused to surrender her property. The
suspect then repeated his demand pointing the gun at her and the woman again
refused saying “No”. The suspect then began hitting the woman several times on
her hands while demanding her phone. The victim screamed for help and the
suspect took off running northbound on Lundy Lane. The woman was taken to the
hospital and treated for a broken hand. A search for the suspect was
unsuccessful. Report number: 160046221
