Notable Cases


On Wednesday, 01-11-17 at 6:38 p.m., Officer Garay and Officer Perez were dispatched to the Shell Gas Station on Gellert Boulevard on a report of a disturbance over a parking situation in which the victim reported her foot being run over. The victim, a 43-year old Pacifica resident, said she went to the convenience store and parked her vehicle in a marked parking stall when she saw a woman parked on the crosshatch area of a marked disabled stall in front of the store. The victim said she told the subject she was not allowed to park in that location as she was not disabled. The victim said she and the suspect got into a verbal dispute. The victim said she asked the cashier to tell the woman to move, but the manager said due to Shell policy, he was not allowed to deal with any issues in the parking lot and to call the police. The victim took pictures of the subject and her vehicle, and then she said the suspect backed her vehicle and ran over her foot. This case is referred to the District Attorney’s Office.

On Friday, 01-13-17 at 1:26 a.m., Officer Bermudez was on patrol in the area of Mission Street and John Daly Boulevard when he saw a subject cross the intersection against the light. The officer stopped the subject and advised him that Daly City has had multiple auto/pedestrian collisions—some due to pedestrians not crossing legally. The suspect apologized for crossing against the light. As the officer was speaking with the subject, he noticed that the subject had clammy wet skin around his facial area, a white film around his mouth and had glassy bloodshot red eyes and dilated pupils. The subject also appeared to be nervous and fidgety. All of these symptoms led Officer Bermudez to believe that the suspect was under the influence of a controlled substance. Officer Wagnon arrived to assist, and when Officer Bermudez was patting down the subject, he felt a hard object in the subject’s waistband. The subject said it was a meth pipe. Officer Bermudez asked if the subject had any methamphetamine on him, and the subject said he did and that it was in his pocket. The officers also found multiple pieces of identification not belonging to the subject. They arrested the 25-year old San Francisco resident for being in possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, being under the influence of a controlled substance and for identity theft.

On Friday, 01-13-17 at 11:56 a.m., a 16-year old student at Thornton High School was arrested for being in possession of a controlled substance for sales and also for being in possession of tobacco. This occurred after a teacher had noticed some unusual behavior with the student.

On Friday, 01-13-17 at 3:14 p.m., a 40-year old Daly City resident attempted to check her daughter out of Woodrow Wilson Elementary School an hour early when school officials reported the subject was intoxicated. Officer Williams arrested the mother and also is seeking an additional charge of child endangerment based on the totality of the circumstance.

On Saturday, 01-14-17 at 6:13 p.m., following a traffic stop by Officer Murillo, a 30-year old Vallejo resident was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, carrying a loaded firearm in a public place, being a felon in possession of a loaded firearm, possession of a controlled substance for sale, transporting a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance while armed, committing a felony while out on bail and for driving on a suspended driver's license. This occurred in the parking lot near Celia’s Mexican restaurant. The passenger, a 38-year old Vallejo resident, was arrested for being in possession of drug paraphernalia and for a misdemeanor warrant.

On Sunday, 01-15-17 at 11:35 a.m., Officer Williams took a report of a brandishing that occurred near the area of Citrus Avenue and Mission Street. The victim said she was driving on Mission Street and Westlake Avenue when she was cut off by a blue vehicle. The victim said she started to honk her horn, and when she was behind the driver at a light, the driver exited his vehicle and produced a knife from inside his jacket and raised it in the air in her direction. The victim, a 23-year old Daly City resident, said the suspect made a slashing motion with his hand and then got back into his vehicle and drove southbound on Mission Street. The victim’s cousin, a 16-year old Daly City resident, was in the passenger seat and took a photo of the suspect vehicle. This investigation is continuing.

On Sunday, 01-15-17 at 1:30 p.m., a 25-year old San Francisco resident gave her mother’s name to a police officer when the officer issued her a citation. This occurred subsequent to a traffic stop by Officer Farrar at Allan Street and MacDonald Avenue. The subject was arrested for giving false information, impersonating another and for three outstanding warrants. The subject said she didn’t want to go to jail and that is why she used her mother’s name.


Robberies

There were two robberies during the past week.

On Wednesday, 01-11-17 at 5:15 a.m., officers were dispatched to the intersection of East Market Street and Orange Court on a report of a male who was robbed via a handgun for a gym bag. The victim, a 28-year old Brisbane resident, said he was in his car on the way to work when he stopped at a stop sign, a subject ran in front of his vehicle, slapped on the hood and yelled for him to stop. The victim was startled and thought he may have hit the male. The victim said the male then walked to him on the driver’s side and pointed a black handgun at him and demanded his wallet. The victim said he didn’t have his wallet, and the suspect demanded the victim’s gym bag that was on the passenger seat. The victim gave the suspect the bag, which contained a wallet, miscellaneous credit cards and identification cards, miscellaneous clothing and a showering kit. The victim provided a description of the subject. Realizing that a group home for young men was nearby the area, the officers decided to check the home for the suspect and located him. The 19-year old suspect initially denied committing the crime, but surveillance footage showed the suspect threw the victim’s bag over a nearby fence. The suspect became combative with the officers and threatened to beat up one of the officers when he saw him on the streets after his release from jail. The suspect was booked into jail for robbery, obstructing a police officer in the course of his/her duties and for exhibiting a firearm. The victim was unharmed.

Nextdoor.com

Nextdoor.com is a free private social networking website for your neighborhood. This private network ensures that only those who live in your neighborhood can join; users must go through a verification process. Neighbors ask each other for business recommendations; help in locating missing pets; discuss relevant local government issues; or connect for other reasons. It is very easy to sign up, and I like the fact that the site verifies users by addresses, and it won’t allow people to access to a neighborhood if they don’t actually live there. Please note: the City of Daly City and/or the Police Department cannot see what residents post—we are only allowed to post information. There is also a mobile application, or you can have it sent to your email. Give it a try! www.nextdoor.com
