Arrests:
9:14am Monterey/Foerster D.U.I
A citizen in his home on Monterey Blvd. heard a loud crash and
peered out his window to see that a truck had collided with a tree in the
center divider. The witness called police and watched as a man exited the truck
and walked up to the upper parking lot at the Safeway Store. A short time later
the same man exited the parking lot and started walking west bound on Monterey.
Ingleside Officers Morrow and Pacchetti were dispatched to the crash and, while
on the way, heard a call from an address on the 700 block of Miramar. A citizen
wanted to report a stolen truck, coincidentally, the same make and model of the
truck involved in the accident. Morrow and Pacchetti went to the address and
found an inebriated occupant. The witness identified the man as the driver he
saw exiting the crashed truck. The suspect was given a roadside sobriety test
which he failed. He consented to a blood alcohol test which was performed at
Mission Station. Later, he was transported to the county jail and booked for D.U.I.
Report number: 160020015
7:28pm Mission/Appleton D.U.I
Two Hondas, with two passengers each, were stopped at a red
light on Mission and Appleton when a third Honda rear ended one of the stopped
vehicles pushing it into the vehicle in front. The driver of the car causing
the collisions turned his wheels and drove away on Appleton Street where his smoking
and damaged vehicle eventually stopped a short distance from the collision.
Witnesses saw the driver exit the car and walk away. Ingleside Officers Ly and
Marshall responded to the location and interviewed victims and witnesses. During
the interview two citizens walked up and said they possibly spotted the suspect
sleeping near an open can of beer on the 100 block of Highland. The victims and
witnesses identified the man as the driver of the hit & run vehicle. The
suspect complained of pain and an ambulance was summoned which transported him
to San Francisco General. A phlebotomist was summoned to the hospital where a
blood alcohol test was administered. He was arrested and charged with hit and
run and D.U.I. A records check revealed he was driving with a suspended license
and was on court probation for a previous D.U.I. Report number: 160021847
Serious Incidents:
3:10pm Cortland/Prospect Robbery w/gun
A woman pushing a stroller down the sidewalk on Cortland with
her two year old daughter inside was violently robbed of her belongings. The
victim told Ingleside Officers Campos and Thompson that a man approached her
carrying a weapon, pushed the stroller to the ground and spilling the two year
old to the sidewalk. The suspect then ripped a purse away from the mother and
grabbed a tablet from the hands of the now crying toddler before running away
to a waiting vehicle. The mother was taken by ambulance to the hospital for
treatment and her daughter accompanied her mother in the ambulance although,
fortunately, she was uninjured. The Ingleside Station Investigation Team has
been assigned the case. Report number: 160021063
