On arrival, officers determined the female subject had battered the male
subject, causing visible injury on his face and arm. The investigation
revealed that the male subject had surreptitiously recorded the female, which
is what caused her to become angry. The female was arrested for domestic
violence and the male was arrested for intentionally and surreptitiously
recording the female. The argument was also over a child they have in common. The
child was in a car seat in the back seat of a car when this occurred. The Department

police report.

On January 26 at 4:00 p.m., a female subject was
getting into her car after shopping in the 500 Block of West Huntington and was

and demanded a ring that was on her finger and her purse, which contained her
cell phone. The suspect fled in a grey, newer-model Lexus, driven away by
another male suspect. They fled east on Huntington and then south on
Mayflower.
After the incident, the victim drove home to Arcadia and
called the Arcadia Police Department. The Arcadia Police Department transferred
her back to Monrovia and an officer was dispatched to interview the victim. A
broadcast was made and a teletype was sent; however, a lot of time had passed
due to the delay in reporting the incident.
The suspect is described as a male Hispanic, 5' 4",
145 pounds, no facial hair, 25 to 30 years old, brown eyes, wearing a dark
colored beanie and a dark jacket with a grey hooded sweatshirt underneath. The

heading southbound. While the officer was waiting for a back up unit, the
vehicle drove west on the 10 Freeway and exited at Peck Road. The El Monte Police
Department was clearing a burglary call at Peck and Ramona and there was a
large contingent of law enforcement to assist. Once the vehicle was stopped
and the subject detained, the victim drove to the location and identified the
suspects as female subjects who had been drinking with him. He signed a
refusal to prosecute and no further action was taken regarding the stolen
vehicle. However, a records check showed the female who was driving the
vehicle did not have a license and she had no identification. She was arrested
and taken into custody.

called the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for assistance. Sheriff's
deputies responded and found the suspect near Duarte and Buena Vista. It was
determined that the crime actually occurred in Monrovia. The victim positively
identified the suspect and the knife was recovered in the suspect's possession.

Pay close attention to the door-to-door solicitors as noted in the first item in this weeks report.
Its been a while since we've had them on the street, but when someone is at the door the first thing you ask for is their MPD issued solicitors if they don't have them tell them "good bye" and call MPD, or call me and I'll do it.
It was a couple of years ago I did call on one that was snooping around my back yard. When confronted he claimed to be selling magazines for MHS. With my kids at MHS I knew it was BS and called MPD from my cell. He shoved his way past which became a battery. MPD used the 911 call I made to get a battery conviction as well as one for soliciting without a permit.
Don't respond to door to door solicitors without a permit, turn them away and call MPD.
