Oct. 28 — Caller stated that his mom said a neighbor ripped some skirting off her residence a couple of weeks ago to get to kittens that were under the house. An officer spoke with the mom, who is currently in Florida for the winter, and she did not want to press charges for the damage to the siding, but wanted her neighbor trespassed from her property.
The officer spoke with the neighbor, and she told him that she tried to contact the son’s mom to let her know about the kittens. She was worried about them, so she moved a little bit of the siding so the kittens could get out.
The officer advised the neighbor not to touch other people’s property, and if she has concerns about animals, then to call the police, and they will handle it accordingly. The officer told her not to go back onto the property, and if she does, her neighbor could press charges if she desired. The neighbor seemed to understand, and the officer left.
Caller reported that her boyfriend grabbed her by the arm and pulled her down after she threw some items at him. Two officers responded to assist. She said she and her boyfriend argue because he lies about his drinking. She said that during their argument today, she threw a metal cat statue, approximately 1 foot in length, and a dog bowl at him. She then claimed that he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her down. She denied aid. An officer took a picture of her arm and the living room where the argument took place.
The officer then spoke with the boyfriend, who told a similar story. He explained that she threw the metal cat statue out of anger, but did not hit him. He was sitting in the northeast corner at the time. He then moved to the south side of the room, as he was sitting near a guitar he did not want to get damaged.
After sitting on a wood chair near the south entrance to the living room, she entered the room, but had to move a large piece of plywood to get into the room. She fell down trying to enter the room, and he tried to catch her, but was unable to due to her size and his back issues. While on the ground, she grabbed a dog food bowl and a dog water bowl, and threw them both at him,
hitting his shins. He was not injured or hurt from this. He then attempted to help her get off the ground. Once she was up, she went back to the bedroom and called the police.
The officer asked if he had anywhere to stay for the night, and he tried calling a few friends, all of which either said no or did not answer. The officer also offered to pay for a hotel room for the night, but he refused because he would have to take his large dog with him, and the dog would likely destroy the room as it is untrained. The officer also called a homeless shelter that did not answer.
While on the scene another domestic violence call came out.After exhausting all options the officers decided to let him stay, under the condition that they do not talk to each other until the morning. He said he would stay in the bonus room at the opposite side of the house for the night. He is also going to an AA meeting.
The officer warned her to keep her hands to herself, as she could be arrested as well, especially if she gets physical first. Both parties were given domestic violence resource packets. The officers left and responded to the next call.
Caller reported that two subjects were cursing at her, and throwing things around the house, and she wanted them removed. While still at the previous call, a trooper contacted the officer a block away from the call. The officer told the trooper that he was just trying to separate himself from the situation.
An officer and the trooper responded to the house. When the officer arrived, the caller came out and told him that one of the subjects was the one calling her names, and she showed him a video of their argument. She told him nothing physical happened between any of them tonight, but she just wanted the two of them gone.
The officer noted that she was extremely distraught throughout his contact with her, and explained to her that since the subjects lived there, the officers could not evict them. She was told she could obtain a protection order, and to contact the Crisis Support Network, who could help her. She said that she had their number and would talk to them. All of the units left.
Oct. 30 — There’s a report of two people passed out in a parking lot. Three officers responded and checked the area, and were unable to locate the subjects. The officer spoke with the caller and let her know.
Caller reported that a male subject in a van that drove very slowly in front of a building and began recording on his phone, then sped away after the caller made eye contact with him. The officer spoke with the caller on the phone, and she was not able to get a plate, but provided the officer with a few pictures of the van.
The pictures were too blurry to get a plate from. The photos are on the white board, if anyone recognizes the vehicle. The officer also told her that he would request extra patrols. There are typically kids there from noon to 5 p.m.
Oct. 31 — A female subject came in to report a theft of parts stolen from her white 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. She said it was parked at Englund Marine from 10:30 p.m. Oct. 10 to noon on Oct. 11. Freedom Market is seeing if they have surveillance footage from those dates.
A known male subject has been down at the Port of Ilwaco recently, and he allegedly went into Freedom Market on Oct. 13, stated that he was on a bender, and has all new parts on his vehicle, and doesn’t know where they came from.
The male subject’s truck was recently impounded by the Port of Ilwaco. The vehicle was still operable despite all the missing parts, and was able to be driven to Newport during that time.
It is unclear if the parts were actually stolen from the Port of Ilwaco or not, since they were not noticed as missing until a few days after the vehicle was parked at Englund Marine. The officer gave a statement form to the female subject, and advised her to get estimates of the parts that were stolen, and to bring it back to the police department.
Caller stated there were people who kept knocking on her door, and not saying anything. They were gone prior to the officer’s arrival. The officer spoke to her briefly and left.
A father approached two officers and told them he could not find his son. The officers searched the area and found the son. One of the officers called the parents, and they remained on the scene until the son was reunited with his dad.
Vehicle vs. pedestrian in the parking lot of McDonald’s: Victim identified as an employee of
McDonald’s. The victim stated he was walking to his vehicle to go on his break when he was struck by a truck in the parking lot. He was unable to provide a description of the suspect vehicle other than that it was a truck. There were no other witnesses, and the McDonald’s parking lot cameras were not working at the time.
A manager of the McDonald’s suspected it was a former employee who came through the drive through around the time of the incident. Two officers viewed the drive through camera footage for a suspect vehicle, but the camera positions were not very effective to provide much information. They only gathered that it was possibly a silver truck. The former employee has a silver truck registered to him.
The victim was transported to Ocean Beach Hospital by Medix for non-life threatening injuries.
He agreed to sign a medical release of information so an officer would be able to get copies of his medical records from the hospital after his visit.
Nov. 1 — An employee of the Long Beach Tavern reported there was a female customer refusing to leave. She reported that while she was on the phone with Dispatch, the female subject punched the caller’s boyfriend. The caller denied aid.
An officer responded and spoke with the caller and her boyfriend. They advised the female left, and they did not wish to press charges. They were unsure what direction she left in. The officer was unable to locate a suspect in the area, and left.
There was a report of three people in the dunes, and it looked like they were picking mushrooms. They were about 50 yards away and saw the officer, and took off running. They were too far for him to give any commands. He could see the female was carrying a blue solo cup. He followed them for a bit, but they kept going.
He then drove around and got another call from the caller that they were heading to their car. The officer found them at the car. They admitted to picking the mushrooms, and said they got rid of them when they saw the officer. He asked them for their IDs, and they both gave them to him. They were 18 and 17.
The male subject said the officer could look in his car to confirm they did not have any mushrooms. The officer tried calling the subject’s father, who the officer knows. He did not answer. The officer followed them to their house. The father was not home. The officer asked for permission to look through the male subject’s car, and he said he was not giving the officer permission, but then went ahead and opened all the doors and trunk and said the officer could look.
Without entering the car, the officer saw most of it, and did not see anything that looked like it could contain mushrooms, nor did he see the blue cup (they said they left it in the dunes). Due to the fact that the officer could not find any mushrooms, there was nothing he could charge them with. He talked to them both about running, and they said they wouldn’t do it again. The father called the officer back about 15 minutes after he left. The officer told him everything, and he said he would take care of it.
A male subject was walking in the middle of the northbound lane. An officer contacted the subject, and advised him to walk on the sidewalk because cars were almost hitting him. He stated he was almost home, and he was highly intoxicated.
