During the last seven day period, the Police Department handled 517 service events, resulting in 134 investigations. Following are the last week's highlighted issues and events:
New Year's Eve Activity
During the evening of December 31, twelve arrests were made. Two arrests were made for driving under the influence, six arrests for public intoxication, two arrests for warrants, one arrest for domestic violence, and one arrest for grand theft. Fireworks/possible shots fired calls were less than usual this year for New Year's Eve. There were several small disturbances near a bar in the 300 block of South Myrtle; however, due to heavy New Year's Eve extra patrol by officers, all attendees left the area with minimal problems.
Domestic Violence / Assault with a Deadly Weapon / Suspect Arrested
On December 31 at 7:00 p.m., officers responded to the 1400 block of California regarding an assault that had just occurred. A male subject struck and severely beat his live-in-girlfriend. Officers contacted and assisted the victim and another officer located the suspect walking several blocks from the crime scene and detained him. The suspect was arrested and booked for the above listed charges. The victim had several broken teeth, abrasions, and other minor injuries, but she declined medical treatment.
Grand Theft / Suspect Arrested
On December 31 at 9:01 p.m., a juvenile that is living with her grandmother stole several valuable pieces of jewelry from her grandmother and climbed out a bathroom window. The grandmother discovered the missing juvenile with her jewelry and called police. Officers responded quickly and located the juvenile, who was still in possession of the stolen property. The juvenile has a prior history of behavioral problems on record with the police department, and an ongoing case with the Department of Child and Family Services. DCFS was notified and responded to take custody of the juvenile. A criminal report for Grand Theft has been prepared and will be submitted to the juvenile district attorney for filing consideration.
Vandalism
On January 1 at 8:15 a.m., an officer responded to a business in the 500 block of West Huntington regarding a report of vandalism. The officer arrived and contacted an employee of the business. The employee had gone to the location to do some work and found that the glass door in the front lobby had been broken. A large rock was found inside the lobby on the floor. Investigation continuing.
Vandalism
On January 2 at 9:24 a.m., an officer was dispatched to a business in the 900 block of West Huntington regarding a break-in. The officer arrived and contacted the reporting party, who showed him a six foot by eight foot glass window that had been broken. The reporting party believes the suspects may have entered the location. No loss was determined at this time. Investigation continuing.
Burglary
On January 2 at 9:49 a.m., an officer responded to a laundry mat in the 900 block of West Duarte regarding the report of a theft. The owner reported that on December 31 he found seven of the coin boxes had been opened. It appeared that the boxes were forced open, but he did not make a report to police at that time. On January 1, he found several more coin boxes had been broken into, but again he did not report the crime at the time of incident. On January 2 he called police, who responded to the business to take a report on both incidents. Investigation continuing.
Vandalism
On January 2 at 12:46 p.m., an officer was dispatched to a park in the 300 block of South Myrtle regarding graffiti on the wall near the bike racks. The officer arrived and saw the graffiti had been painted on the wall with gray metallic spray paint. While there, he was advised of similar graffiti in the 100 block of West Lime, off the alley. While the officer was taking that report, dispatch received another report of graffiti on the 210 Freeway underpass at Magnolia. The graffiti was exactly the same at all three locations. Investigation continuing.
Bear Incident
On January 4 at 10:23 p.m., a resident in the 600 block of Norumbega reported a bear on her property that appeared to be sick and injured. Officers arrived and confirmed the bear was in poor condition. The Department to Fish and Game responded and tranquilized the animal. They believe it consumed water from a fountain that had chemicals in it and became sick. They transported the bear to the mountains, where they attempted to release it, but the bear did not regain consciousness and died.

When leaving your vehicle parked and unattended, make sure you do not leave any personnel items, such as GPS system, purse, cell phone, or computer laptop in your vehicle. If you need to leave valuables in the vehicle - use the trunk. If your vehicle does not have a trunk - place valuables under the seat out of view.
