The reporting party, a 23-year old Daly City resident, said at 5:40 that afternoon, he was in front of his residence on the 500 block of Sylvan Street, when he was approached by a subject who asked for money in exchange for gold jewelry. The reporting party said the subject explained that he had just lost his wallet and needed money for gas and pulled out a handful of gold jewelry and placed it into his hand. The reporting party said the subject asked for $1,000. The reporting party told the subject he couldn’t give him $1,000 but said he would help with a little gas money. The reporting party said he consulted his father about the matter, and his father advised him to give back all the jewelry and told him not to exchange any money with the subject. The reporting party gave all the gold jewelry back to the suspect and told him he couldn’t help him. The reporting party said as he was doing that, a gold ring fell onto the ground, but the subject left quickly because he noticed a police officer was driving by at the time. The reporting party said the subject got into a white Range Rover SUV and left the area, leaving the ring behind on the ground.

The reporting party provided a description of the subject, and Officer Cain saw a subject matching the description who was sitting inside the Panda Express restaurant. When Officer Greene arrived at the restaurant, he said the subject walked out of the store. Officer Greene yelled out for the subject to stop, and the subject started to skip away from the officer. This resulted in the subject running away from Officer Greene and Officer Cain. When they got towards Starbuck’s, Officer Greene saw the subject throw a glass on the sidewalk, causing the object to shatter. After running in a serpentine pattern, the officers were finally able to detain the subject. Officer Greene subsequently arrested the 37-year old transient subject for obstructing a police officer, possession of drug paraphernalia and destroying evidence.
