Random Police Blotter entry

[Boogahz]

Ok, so the blotter itself was not random since it's from the town I was born in, but...

Between 6 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Monday in the 300 block of College Street, someone entered a residence by prying open a locked back door and took an interior bedroom door and cut a window screen. Theft loss $150, damage loss $170.

Who the hell would force open a door and screen to break into a home in order to steal a bedroom door?

[Traz-KOE]

Someone who fucked up their bedroom door and didn't want to pay the landlord to fix it?

[Zamtuk]

victim was probably a pederast.

Between 1:45 and 10:59 a.m. in the 1000 block of North Third Street, someone entered a vehicle and stole a backpack containing books and personal hygiene items. Loss $175.

I am guessing they just wanted to get cleaned up and educate themselves. Where is the harm in that?

[Breagen]

I could have sworn I read a practically identical report recently where I live. College towns all the same I guess.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho Apr 23, 2007 (AP)— A north Idaho man accused of ramming his truck into his estranged wife's home Monday after unsuccessfully demanding that she bring him a cigarette has been arrested, police said. No one was injured.

Eric D. Marienau, 48, of Sandpoint, was jailed for investigation of aggravated assault and driving while intoxicated after Coeur d'Alene police officers were called to his wife's residence in this lakeside resort community.

Caroline Marienau, who said she's in the process of getting a divorce, said Eric Marienau parked his full-size Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck next to her house about 7 a.m., police said.

He went to the home's fence and began shouting for her to bring him a cigarette, Caroline Marienau told police. She said he began pounding on her front door, telling her if she didn't come outside with a cigarette that he would return with his truck and ram her house.

"Eric returned a minute later and rammed the front of the house near the garage area at a high rate of speed. He then backed up and rammed the front of the house at least two more times," Police Sgt. Christie Wood said. "The impact forced a 1993 Ford Ranger that was parked inside the garage to be propelled approximately four feet through a wall into the interior of the bedroom."

Eric Marienau was not immediately reachable for comment and it was not known if he was represented by a lawyer.

Nobody was in the bedroom at the time but the house and both vehicles sustained major damage, police said.

There was a gas canister and gas-soaked rag in the bed of the truck, as well as another gas canister in the truck's cab, at the time of the ramming, police said.

Girl, 15, sexually assaulted

A 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted Wednesday morning by a man who knocked on the door of her apartment, tied up her stepfather and entered her bedroom in South Austin, police said.

About 4:50 a.m., a man in his mid-20s knocked on the door of the apartment in the 3200 block of South Interstate 35 near Woodward Street. The girl's stepfather answered the door, and the man, who was holding a gun, tied up the stepfather before sexually assaulting the girl, police said.

Police said the man was inside the apartment for about 30 minutes, during which time he smoked crack and also stole money. One person was able to run outside and call police, but when they arrived, the man was gone.

No detailed description of the man was available.

The victims did not know the suspect, said Sgt. Patrick Cochran of the Police Department's child abuse unit. Anyone with information is asked to call the child abuse unit at 974-6880.

Was the guy rifling through drawers and just happened to decide to stop and have a crack break?

If that report is from Philly, then that is actually the report of my friends car who got broken into and his backpack was stolen. Pretty stupid thing to steal out of a car if you ask me.

I'd assume they were hoping for a wallet, smokes, or whatever in it.

IME when someone steals a backpack, they're looking for college textbooks they can go sell at the bookstore. It's easy money.

[Boogahz]

or they were hoping to score someone's laptop!


oh, and this was in a small town in Kansas, so definitely not the Philly backpack

[Pherr the Dorf]

9:03 p.m. Breakin’ up is hard to do, but somewhat less so when police are standing by as you separate and take your respective shit from the apartment.

not exactly a blotter entry, but....

Man arrested when officer recognizes his own truck
10/30/2008 7:19 AM
By: Associated Press

FRISCO, Texas -- A police officer directing traffic outside a concert in suburban Dallas noticed a familiar-looking truck driving by. That's because it was his.

The startling sight led to the arrest of 22-year-old James Matthew Herring. Police say he is charged with theft and evading arrest.

Frisco police Officer Jerry Varner said he parked his maroon pickup about 100 yards from where he was directing traffic Saturday night. He said he didn't notice anyone breaking in but recognized his truck coming toward him.

Varner ordered the driver to pull over. Instead, police say, the man put the truck in reverse and attempted to flee, striking several vehicles.

Police cars eventually surrounded the truck. Police say the driver tried to run but was soon caught.

[Boogahz]

hehehe, ran across the following when reading a blotter:

Police and the Ellicott Creek Fire Company responded to Brier Road where a woman’s hand was reportedly stuck in a blender. It was discovered that only her shirt was caught, and the fire crew cut her free. The banana bread was ruined.

A motorist burned his jeans after being pulled over by police. He panicked while smoking a marijuana joint and stuffed it in his pocket.

A Hamilton Boulevard resident reported that his lawn furniture and garbage cans had been moved and sandwiches were found in his backyard.

A bouncer was sent to St. Joseph’s Hospital after a fight at a George Urban Boulevard nightclub. A cell phone was found after the incident, and when the officer answered it after it rang, he was able to get the name and address of a suspect. The officer told the suspect he would return the phone if he provided his name and address. The suspect then offered the officer 2 grams of cocaine in exchange for the phone.

Police were called to Wickham Drive about a lost wallet that contained cash and credit cards. The wallet was found 20 minutes later under a bed and is believed to have been hidden by the basset hound.

A goose was tapping on windows at the library on Audubon Parkway. The goose left.

I doubt these were real, but they were amusing

[Gzette]

The goose one is, I bet. I subscribe to a few of these that PDs send out for my job for most and a few for shits and giggles. The UT one is especially fun for reading about drunk people, but the rural ones are where you can find real gold.

Police ID two arrested after golf cart pursuit
By Joshunda Sanders | Thursday, December 4, 2008, 06:54 AM

Police have identified two men who were arrested after officers pursued a robbery suspect through an East Austin golf course using a golf cart Tuesday before they arrested him.

Jesus Rodriguez, 28, was arrested after a home invasion-style robbery in the 3500 block of Pecan Springs Road on Tuesday morning, police said. Sgt. Jeff Slater said the man who owned the home, Santos Jaimes, 31, was arrested later after police found a stolen pick-up truck and other stolen property in his house.

Police responded to a call of someone breaking into Jaimes’ home at 9:24 a.m. Tuesday. Officers said that Jaimes came out of the house, but Rodriguez escaped the house and led police on a chase by foot onto the Morris Williams Golf Course near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Springdale Road, Slater said. When the suspect got on a golf cart, “we got on a golf cart, too, then he ran out of golf course,” Slater said.

Police continued the chase on foot and arrested Rodriguez shortly after that. He has been charged with burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit a felony and is currently being held at the Travis County Jail on a $75,000 bond. Jaimes has been charged with theft, possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of a firearm. He is being held at the jail on a $50,000 bond.

Police: Drunken driver hits drunken driving enforcement officer
By American-Statesman staff | Friday, July 31, 2009, 11:39 AM

Some Austin police officers are saying it could have been one of the easiest drunken driving arrests in the city’s history.

DWI task force officer Robert Gilbert was on duty, driving on the upper deck of Interstate 35, when he was hit by a drunk driver about 9:18 p.m. Thursday, police said.

Gilbert’s patrol car spun around and hit a concrete barrier, but he suffered only minor injuries. He was taken to University Medical Center at Brackenridge, where he was treated and released, police said.

The drunk driver, whose name has not yet been released by police was evaluated at the scene, police said. They said the driver did not suffer any injuries and was charged with intoxication assault.
