Arrests:
3:00pm Unit Blk Evelyn Firearm
Discharge
A report of shots fired sent numerous Ingleside units to the
neighborhood around Portola and O’Shaughnessy Blvd. Dispatch broadcast a description of the
suspect who was walking down Portola Blvd. toward Evelyn Street. Other units
recovered several shell casings near a local business. The owner of another
nearby business said the suspect had left the premises after a dispute with
other patrons and gone to an address on Evelyn Street. Several officers went to
the address and set up a perimeter. The suspect eventually exited the home and
was placed in custody. He admitted to firing a weapon in the air out of
frustration. The weapon was recovered in the home. The suspect was taken to
Ingleside Station and booked for discharging a weapon in a negligent manner and
the illegal possession of a loaded firearm. Report number: 160044736

Sunnydale Robbery
Ingleside Officers Siracusa, Quinlan, Alday, and Mbeleke Eteti
were dispatched to a report of an armed robbery and assault. The victim told
the officers that a man he knew and another man armed with a handgun, exited a
car in front of his home and entered his residence. The two asked what he had
in his home but he didn’t immediately respond. The suspects then entered a back
bedroom where another resident was sitting. The two robbers spotted a flat
screen TV along with several other electronics. One of the robbers punched one
of the residents several times in the face before both suspects grabbed the TV
and electronics running out of the home and escaping in the waiting vehicle. A
citywide bulletin was issued and Bayview units spotted the suspect’s vehicle
parked in front of an address on Bowdoin Street. The officers surrounded the
residence and, with a search warrant, entered the facility arresting the two
suspects. The items stolen from the Sunnydale home were discovered inside. Both
suspects were taken to Ingleside Station and booked for armed robbery and other
felonies. One of the suspects had also had an outstanding warrant for his
arrest. Report number: 160044855
8:45pm Mission/Russia Theft
A Muni trolley bus
operator stopped his vehicle and told several passengers who were smoking in
the back of the bus to exit the vehicle. The driver called police and left the
bus to disconnect the trolley’s poles from the overhead lines. When he boarded
the bus he noticed his jacket missing from the driver’s seat. Ingleside Officers
Dilag, Hermosura, and Zhao arrived and searched the area for suspects. It
wasn’t long before the officers found a man and woman with the purloined
jacket. They were placed in custody and driven back to the scene of the crime
where the driver positively identified them as two passengers who he ordered
off his vehicle for smoking. He also re-claimed his jacket. The pair were cited
for at the scene petty theft and released. Report number: 160045897
