Arrests:
7:08am Unit Blk Admiral Possession
of Stolen Property
An illegally parked Jeep caught the attention of Ingleside Officer
Nagai and Sgt. Kumli. The officers exited their patrol car and saw a suspect
walking toward them from the vehicle. The officers asked for his identification
and the man provided a Texas driver’s license that didn’t bear any resemblance
to the suspect. A computer check revealed the suspect’s true identity and the
fact that he was on probation for theft from San Mateo County. A search of a
sunglass case in the vehicle revealed a quantity of methamphetamine and a pipe
to smoke the narcotic. The Jeep was found to be stolen from a rental company.
The suspect was taken to Ingleside Station and booked on several charges.

Intoxication
A Muni bus driver called for assistance after a passenger was
verbally abusive to other passengers. The driver ordered the suspect off the
bus at Geneva and Naples and that’s where Ingleside Officers Joseph, Marshall,
and Sgt. Martin found the man. The inebriated suspect became combative and
refused to provide identification to the officers. He was placed in handcuffs
and told the officers that he was in pain. An ambulance was dispatched and the
suspect was taken to San Francisco General for evaluation. He was later cited
for being drunk in public. Report number: 160006899
