May 11 \u2014 Trespass: An officer reported that a male subject was back on Port of Ilwaco property in front of the office. He saw the subject, made contact with him, and told him the next time he was on port property he was going to go to jail. <\/p>\n
The officer talked to the Port office, and he has started trespassing more in the past few weeks. Officers: If there is a call on him again trespassing, he is to be booked if found. If you don\u2019t book him you had better have a very good reason. When you book him, call the city prosecutor and tell her we want him held for as long as possible \u2014 Chief<\/p>\n
May 13 \u2014 A hit and run occurred. It appeared as though a red Ford pickup did not stop while traveling southbound, hit the stop sign and broke it off, and kept driving. <\/p>\n
An officer said they could see it from the department camera. The vehicle swerved in the intersection, got back over into the roadway, and did not attempt to stop after striking the post. <\/p>\n
The two callers who reported it did not see the vehicle that did it. Images of the truck were screenshot off the cameras when the vehicle drove by the office. No license plate is available at this time.<\/p>\n
A city crew placed a stop sign at the intersection shortly after it was called in.<\/p>\n
May 14 \u2014 The victim, of West Richland, stated that on either April 13 or April 14 he was in downtown Long Beach. While in a downtown business, he left his vehicle unlocked. He discovered his .380 Taurus gun had been stolen from the back seat. The serial number has been entered into the system as stolen.<\/p>\n
Theft: Enterprise Car Rental reported that they had a ping on a stolen car, and it came to 1506 North State Route 103. The car was listed as stolen out of Clackamas, County Oregon. It is a 2026 Toyota Corolla with an Oregon License plate, 628RAA. <\/p>\n
An officer found the car at the above location and confirmed it was stolen. The suspected thief was also in the system, as a missing endangered person. The officer talked to the motel manager, and he said that the suspect had tried to give the car away to a female employee yesterday. <\/p>\n
The officer contacted the suspect in Room 115 and told him he was under arrest. He was taken into custody without incident. He told the officer that he was Jesus Christ, that his father, God, was in a room next door. He later told the officer that his mother was Mary, and that Satan had been poisoning his water. <\/p>\n
The car was towed by Long Beach Towing. <\/p>\n
The suspect was complaining of pain so the officer took him to Ocean Beach \u041dospital. When they got to the hospital the officer talked to a female officer. She told him she didn\u2019t consider the car as really stolen, even though it was entered as stolen. She felt this was a civil case. She told the other officer that when he told her he was going to book the suspect. <\/p>\n
At that point, the officer decided he would not book or charge the suspect. Instead he placed the subject into protective custody on a mental health hold. The suspect was turned over to Mobile Crisis Services at the hospital, and the officer left.<\/p>\n
May 15 \u2014 Caller reported a silver Dodge truck that has been idling since 1 a.m. He also informed Dispatch that if he had to go out and deal with it on his own, he would in a bad way.<\/p>\n
Upon arriving, the officer found the Dodge idling with the owner inside the truck. He informed the officer that he did start it up at 1 a.m. to keep warm, and dry while he was smoking but turned it off after he was done and went back to bed. He also said that he had just started it up a few minutes before the officer arrived. \u041d\u0435 was asked to not start his truck to idle at late hours, and he agreed to this. <\/p>\n
The caller stopped the officer to ask about what the police are going to do about this. He was<\/p>\n
informed that if he had issues with it again to report it, and also ask the hotel for a new room if he was not happy. He was also informed to not confront the truck driver, and that it is not the best idea to say he would deal with it on his own in a \u201cbad way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The police department received an email about a possible camp set up in the woods. An officer found it, and it had been there for a long time. It was not a camp, just some items and an old blanket. The officer thinks this was possibly Riley Wonderlich\u2019s at one time.<\/p>\n
Someone from the city called to say that some lady was taking flowers out of the planter boxes in front of the Elks. An officer drove around the area and found no one around, or walking with flowers.<\/p>\n
Anthony Banuet Gurule was initially stopped in a white Honda Accord for failing to stop for the red light at an intersection. After checking, the officer found he had a third-degree driving while license suspended charge, and a long list of prior traffic offenses. <\/p>\n
He was cited for being suspended, and given a warning for failing to stop for a red light.
