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 Thursday, 08-11-16 at 3:16 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Hickey Boulevard and Skyline Boulevard to meet with a taxi cab driver who reported an intoxicated male customer who became upset and kicked his vehicle. The cab driver said he picked up a male and a female who were intoxicated in San Francisco. Once he was unable to take the subjects to the exact area, the male subject became upset and kicked the right rear door of the taxi cab. The driver said the fare was paid and there was no damage. The driver said he located a cell phone on the rear passenger seat of the cab. Officer Hamilton found both subjects at the gas station on Hickey Boulevard and Gateway Drive in Pacifica. Officer Shiu, who had the cell phone, asked the female subject if she left her cell phone in the cab, and the subject said she did. At this time, Officer Shiu noted that she could detect an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from both subjects. Officer Garay arrived and asked the subjects if they wanted a courtesy ride to their residence since it was cold. Both agreed, and the officer said she would have to search them for any weapons prior to providing a ride. When searching the male, Officer Garay felt a knife in the subject’s pocket, and the subject attempted to pull his hands off the officer’s grip and broke away from the officers, causing them to run after him. The female was placed in the back of the patrol vehicle, and when Officer Shiu removed her from the back of the vehicle to search her, the female subject broke away from her and raised her hand up in a fighting stance. The male subject, a 33-year old Pacifica resident, was arrested for being in possession of a controlled substance and for resisting arrest. The female subject, a 34-year old San Francisco resident, was arrested for public intoxication.

On Thursday, 08-11-16 at 6:00 p.m., members of the San Mateo County Gang Task Force (GTF) conducted a pre-planned probation search at a residence on the unit block of Muirwood Drive. During the search, GTF officers located and seized illegal firearms, illegal ammunition, a bullet proof vest, suspected drugs and paraphernalia. The 38-year old subject under probation was not home at the time of the search but was near the residence a couple of hours later. He was placed under arrest without incident.

On Friday, 08-12-16 at 3:33 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Schwerin Street and Martin Street on a report of a person who had his cell phone snatched out of his hand. The reporting party, a 51-year old construction supervisor working at a job site, said he was talking on the phone when the subject snatched his phone out of his hand. The subject fled after he obtained the phone, but an employee of the construction company chased the subject and detained him. When he was being detained by the worker, the subject threatened to stab him. Fearing the subject would follow through on his threat, the worker held the subject until police officers arrived. When officers arrived, they realized this subject matched the description of a subject who, earlier in the day, got inside of a truck and attempted to drive away but was stopped by the vehicle owner. At the police station, the subject, a 17-year old Daly City resident, said he wanted a phone so he decided to take it away from the victim. He explained his mother took his phone away from him. In regard to the attempted theft of a vehicle earlier in the day, the officer asked the subject why he tried to steal the truck, and the subject said “because I don’t have a car”. The subject’s mother said she found keys to a BMW in her son’s backpack. When the officers asked him about the keys, the subject eventually admitted to stealing the vehicle the same day. The subject was arrested and booked for robbery, auto theft, attempted auto theft, and criminal threats.

On Friday, 08-12-16 at 4:01 p.m., two San Mateo residents in their 20’s reported they were the victims of a brandishing of a knife by a juvenile suspect. Both victims said they were leaving a restaurant on the 7300 block of Mission Street when a subject standing outside the restaurant asked them if they had a problem with him. The victims said the subject asked the question again and pulled out a butterfly knife. The victims left the area and called the police. Officers talked to the subject, a 14-year old Daly City resident, who matched the description the victims gave the dispatcher. The officers released the subject to his mother after both parties refused to sign a citizen’s arrest form.

On Friday, 08-12-16 at 10:12 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 300 block of Evergreen Avenue on a report of a male subject screaming and walking up and down the street. Officers saw a subject matching the description who was hysterically crying and was with two people who were attempting to calm him. The subject had been drinking and was upset over a relationship. When officers asked the subject for his identification, the subject became upset and threatened to punch the officer in the face. The subject resisted being handcuffed and kicked Officer Clinkscales on his leg and spit on him. Officers arrested the subject, a 20-year old Daly City resident, for being intoxicated in public, resisting arrest and battery on a peace officer. The officer was unhurt.
