SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT TAKING BACK UNWANTED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS APRIL 30, 2016 AT ALL DISTRICT STATIONS
San Francisco, CA – On April 30, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the San Francisco Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.  Bring your medications for disposal to any of the San Francisco Police Departments District Stations throughout San Francisco.  The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.  Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.  Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. 
Please start preparing now and look through your medicine cabinets.
WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING INTRA-VENOUS SOLUTIONS, NEEDLES, INHALERS OR PATCH STYLE MEDICATIONS. 
ILLICIT SUBSTANCES SUCH AS METHAMPHETAMINE, MARIJUANA, ETC ARE NOT PART OF THIS INITIATIVE.

Arrests:  
3:00pm       100 Blk Garrison                Warrant Arrest
A man wanted for several felony warrants was captured thanks to the keen eyes of Sgt Alvarez and Ingleside Officers Seavey, Lustenberger and Barajas. The trio of officers along with Sgt Alvarez were patrolling a high crime area of the district when they spotted the suspect standing next to a vehicle. The officers exited their patrol car, identified themselves, and told the suspect to stand still so he could be placed in custody. The suspect ignored the officers’ request and started running through the neighborhood with Seavey, Lustenberger, and Alvarez in pursuit, while Barajas radioed for assistance. Fortunately, the chase was short and the suspect was arrested and placed in custody. He was booked for the warrants and for fleeing from police. Report number: 160333965
 
6:15pm       1600 Blk Sunnydale                 Warrant Arrest
Sometimes miscreants think officers are, shall we say, not smart enough to spot something, to the officers, is obviously suspicious. Ingleside Sgt Alvarez and Officers Lustenberger, Seavey, and Barajas had finished processing the above arrest and were back on patrol when they spotted an older Mercedes with registration that expired over a year ago. Yet, someone thought that putting a 2017 green expiration sticker on the rear plate, would fool the police. It didn’t and the three officers and one sergeant pulled the vehicle over. The driver was unlicensed. He also had some methamphetamine in one of his pockets. The Mercedes was registered to an address that Vallejo PD said didn’t exist. The car was towed to impound and the driver was transported to Ingleside Station for booking. Report number: 160334474

A man exited a MUNI coach and was walking home when he was confronted by an armed robber.

The suspect reached around the victim and grabbed the victim’s throat with his left hand while placing the barrel of a gun against the victim’s right temple.
