Police Reports: October 20-26
Police Reports
October 20- A homeowner reported that his rental home had been broken into. Pry marks were noticed on the elevator and the sliding glass door had been left open. A computer was the only thing listed as missing. Possible fingerprints were obtained from the door and the victim and his son were sampled for DNA.
October 22- An intoxicated woman tried to take the term “protect and serve” to its most extreme when she stumbled up to a police officer and demanded he give her a ride home. In addition to having trouble standing, she was slurring her speech and had bloodshot eyes. If there had been any doubt to her intoxication, she then attempted to hug and kiss the police officer. When he held her off, she made the same move on another officer that had responded. They offered to call her a cab or contact a friend but she became belligerent and told the officers that she could “kick their a$$”. They advised her to go home and she responded by swinging at one of the officers and hitting him in the chest. She was arrested for disorderly conduct.
October 23- While walking in front of City Hall an officer noticed a man laying on the steps of the law office located next door. The man appeared to be very intoxicated when he awoke and admitted to drinking at a local bar. He stated that he was staying at a friends house and pointed to the Holiday Inn suggesting that he didn’t know where he was. Officers obtained his identification and learned he was wanted in Florida for violating probation. However, the State of Florida said they would not extradite him. Officers determined that the subject could not take care of himself and arrested him for disorderly conduct.
October 24- Eleven Vanderbilt University students who were staying in two rental houses for a wedding were tracked down by police who followed their trail of beer cans after a resident reported a large amount of litter on the beach. When police arrived, they discovered a large amount of empty beer cans and solo cups and were actually able to follow a trail of trash to the back of a rental house. The back deck was also strewn with cans and cups. The officer went to the front door and rang the door bell. A woman came downstairs but turned around when she saw the officer. Once inside, the officer found several guys who were passed out. The Rental Company was contacted and evicted the visitors as well as others in another house who were part of the same group. Between the two houses 11 littering citations were issued for $1092 each as well as seven underage possession of alcohol citations, also for $1092 each.
October 25- A surfer reported that a Surftek surfboard with a picture of a duck on an egg was stolen from his truck, which was parked at the beach access by the pier, while surfing one day. He also stated this was the second time he had a board stolen from that particular area.
October 26- An officer became suspicious of a couple when he noticed their vehicle parked alone in an empty lot with the lights off and engine running. He approached the car and called for back-up. When asked what they were doing, the subjects stated they were picking up “A.C.” but could not describe A.C. nor tell them anything else about him. The female passenger began to reach under her seat and would not cooperate when the officer told her to stop. The officer also noticed a plastic bag tied at the end. The woman finally exited the vehicle with the driver. The officer was unable to locate any narcotics in the car and called for a K-9 officer based on his suspicions. The dog helped the officers locate an amount of crack/cocaine in the driver’s sock. He was arrested for possession of the drug and for intent to distribute while in close proximity to a playground.
