Arrests:
12:35am Unit blk Lisbon St Warrant Arrest
Officers
have an expression, “you can’t make this stuff up”, for skeptics about their
profession and some of the arrests they’ve made in their careers. For Ingleside
Officers Parker and Ortega this is one arrest they’ll tell their grandchildren
about. They were dispatched to the unit block of Lisbon on the report of a man trying
to cut down a tree with a machete. When they arrived they found the man sitting
on the sidewalk, next to a tree, with his black pants hanging from a branch.
The suspect told the officer that the tree attacked him, took his pants, and the
officers should arrest the tree. A records
check revealed the suspects was wanted on a no bail felony warrant for
burglary. He was transported to the station and booked for the warrant. The
officers did not find a machete at the scene and the tree was released with a
warning. Report number: 170555864
9:15pm Felton/Harvard Sts Narcotics
Ingleside
officers Anderson and Burke were on routine patrol when they spotted an older
Honda Accord without a front license plate driving towards them on Felton
Street. The officers made a U-Turn and ran the plate which showed the vehicle
was not stolen like many other Honda’s of this vintage. Nevertheless the
officers decided to stop the vehicle to warn the driver about operating the
vehicle without a front plate. The driver pulled over, got out, and started
walking and then running away. Burke and Anderson got back in their patrol car to
chase the suspect but soon lost sight of him. However a helpful Muni bus driver
pointed to the suspect walking nearby on Felton Street near Harvard. He was
taken into custody but was not wearing the beanie he had while driving the car.
Officer Burke decided to retrace the suspect’s escape route and found the
beanie nearby behind a bush. Inside the hat was a significant amount of
methamphetamine. The suspect was also driving with a suspended license after
losing his license for the same crime before. He was taken to Ingleside Station
and booked for the vehicle code violation and the narcotics offense and
released. His Honda was towed to impound. Report number: 170558238
Serious Incidents:
9:45pm San Bruno Ave/Somerset
St Robbery
A woman walked into Ingleside Station to report a violent
robbery. The victim told Ingleside officer Cortez Cendejas that a short time
ago she had exited a Muni bus at San Bruno and Somerset and began walking
toward her homeh. While walking she noticed a man running up behind her. Before
she could react he pushed her to the ground and wrapped one arm around her neck
in a choke hold. He demanded her wallet and told her not to scream because he
had a knife. The suspect then punched her several times in the jaw before
pulling off her headphones that were connected to her cell phone. He grabbed
the cell phone and ran away northbound on Somerset Street. The victim declined
medical attention. Report number: 170903871
