April 13 — Traffic accident: David L. Morrison was booked on citations for second-degree criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and reckless driving. The vehicle was impounded by Long Beach Towing. Morrison was also issued a written Notice Prohibiting Entry to the Port of Ilwaco. A police Traffic Collision Report is pending.
An officer noted that he was later booked on additional charges: harassment (threats to kill), and harassment (threats to property).
April 15 — A Long Beach business owner came in and reported a high amount of people are riding their bicycles on the sidewalks downtown, nearly hitting people.
She said she talked to some of the bike rental places, and they advised her the rules were that people could ride on the sidewalks, as long as they are granting the right of way to people. An officer printed off the city ordinance that shows that you can’t ride on the sidewalks in the downtown area.
She also complained about cars not stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks. The officer told her he understood what she meant, but it is very hard for cars to see if it is busy out. He told her he would pass it along to the other officers to keep an eye out.
April 16 — The caller was contacted by someone impersonating Verizon. They were able to access his personal information and gain access to his PayPal and credit union accounts. The total loss was approximately $2,000. The officer emailed this log to the caller.
April 17 — Caller said she heard either gunshots or fireworks in the area. She was the only caller. Two officers checked the area and were unable to locate anything.
April 18 — Ocean Beach Hospital caught a female subject vaping in the bathroom who was refusing to leave, so they asked that an officer come and escort the subject off the property. When the officer arrived, the subject was outside, and asked for a ride home. The officer gave her a courtesy ride home.
April 19 — There was a report of a possible driving under the influence. The caller said they saw four subjects in a small white truck pouring vodka into their coffee cups, and possibly heading to the beach. The officer checked the area, but was unable to locate them.
A male subject reported a cold assault that happened 30 minutes ago. An officer met with him at the police department, and he explained he was working on another person’s vehicle with a second male subject. At this time, he did not want to provide the name of the subject.
The first subject told the second subject to quit being an a**hole, and the second subject got into the first subject’s face. The first subject pushed the second subject away from him.
The two started to go inside the second subject’s house, and the second subject attempted to close the door on the first subject, and then struck him in the face three times.
The first subject had a small scratch on his cheek, but stated it did not hurt. He did not want to press charges at the time, and would attempt to calm things down civilly. He asked that the officer just make a log entry for now.
