Notable Cases

On Wednesday, 01-01-20 at 4:40 a.m., Officer Mahan and Officer Brenes were dispatched to the Carl’s Junior restaurant on a report of a male who appeared to be intoxicated and was ramming his vehicle into a parked vehicle. Officer Shoopman arrived on scene first, attempted to contact the driver, and advised that the subject attempted to hit him with his vehicle and quickly fled the scene. Later that morning, detectives and officers from the crime suppression unit took the subject into custody. The subject, a 25-year old San Francisco resident, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, felony vandalism and resisting arrest.

One of the females approached Officer Brenes and told her, as she was crying, that the male hit her. The same female, a 22-year old Oakley resident, whispered to Officer Brenes that there was a gun in one of the subject’s waistbands. After an investigation, the officers arrested a 19-year old Richmond resident for possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm without a serial number, and possession of a concealed firearm inside of a vehicle.

The victim, a 44-year old San Francisco resident, said she was in the parking lot when she felt someone come up from behind her and attempt to pull her purse that was across her chest. The victim had her cell phone in her hand and lost control of it when the suspect was attempting to steal her purse. The victim struggled with the suspect who overpowered her with his strength, causing her to fall the ground. The suspect grabbed the victim’s purse strap and pulled it from her, dragging her approximately a half of a foot before she let go of her purse. The suspect ran into an awaiting older model white car. The suspect was described as a black male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, between 5’8”-5’10” wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue ripped jeans and gray sneakers. Another suspect was in the area who was only described as black male, 5’8”-5’10” with an average build. The victim’s Alexander McQueen purse contained two pairs of Gucci glasses, a Ferragamo wallet, credit cards, a work badge and a driver's license.

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. 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 live there.
