Full Notification

When I mention “the unit block” of a street, this means the incident occurred at an address anywhere between 1 and 99 of the street.

Notable Cases

On Tuesday, 09-15-15 at 1:15 p.m., a reporting party called saying he saw a 3 or 4 year old juvenile female walking by herself near King Drive/Callan Boulevard. Officers found the child who didn’t speak. Child Protective Services (CPS) responded to the station, and about three hours later, the father, a 23-year old South San Francisco resident, called looking for his daughter. Officers, along with the South San Francisco Police and a CPS worker, responded to the subject’s residence to assess the family/home situation. CPS deemed the child should be returned to the parents.

On Thursday, 9-17-15 at 5:42 p.m., Officer Bryce Lickness and Officer Tony Baroni were dispatched to the Bank of America on Mission Street on a report of a male subject undressing himself in the parking lot. The officers were redirected to Santa Barbara Avenue where the subject was last seen walking. Officers found the subject at Westlake Avenue near Woodrow Street and asked him if he was at the bank parking lot. The subject was on probation for drug possession, and one of the terms of his probation included that he was subject to search and seizure. Officer Lickness noticed the subject’s hands twitched rapidly, and he appeared to be increasingly nervous. The officer asked the subject if he used methamphetamine recently, and the subject advised he had used it earlier in the day. The officer found three empty syringes and methamphetamine in the subject’s shirt pocket. The officer also found more empty syringes in the subject’s backpack. The subject, a 37-year old transient, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and for being under the influence of a controlled substance.

On Friday, 09-18-15 at 1:09 a.m., Officer Jaime Bermudez and Officer Bonnie Shiu were working as a two-officer patrol unit and conducted a traffic stop at East Market Street and Hillside Boulevard on a vehicle which ended up being from Berkeley. The driver, a 36-year old Berkeley resident, was on probation for vehicle theft. In the ignition was a “shaved key”, commonly used to steal vehicles. In the subject’s backpack was a glass pipe used to ingest methamphetamine. The subject admitted to using methamphetamine a couple of hours prior. The subject was arrested for vehicle theft with priors, possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of a burglary tool, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.

On Friday, 09-19-15 at 9:35 p.m., officers were dispatched to Seton Hospital on a report of a combative patient. Officers arrived to see a 15-year old male being restrained by another male and the subject yelling racial slurs and struggling to free himself. The nurse advised that the 15-year old had been taking Xanax pills and was drinking on a bus. A passerby saw that the subject was too intoxicated to take care of himself and called for an ambulance. The subject was eventually arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance, being intoxicated in public, resisting arrest, adult offense committed by a juvenile and for possession of burglary tools.
(He had a “punch” in his pocket.)

On Saturday, 09-19-15 at 1:24 p.m., officers were dispatched to Mussel Rock on a report of a found U.S. Navy flare. The volunteer beach cleaning crew had found it on Thornton Beach but decided to take it with them to Mussel Rock before calling the police. The 2½’ x 5” diameter canister had “Do not handle contains Phosphorus. May cause serious burns. Notify Police or Military” printed on the side. The people from the Mussel Rock parking lot area were evacuated, and the San Mateo County Bomb Squad was notified. The Bomb Squad examined the flare and determined that it was expended, and there was no safety risk.
