Captain’s Comments

Summer is just around the corner and that means it is the season for
many special events in the Southern District. The Giants are playing at
ATT Park attracting thousands of fans on a regular basis. The “How
Weird” Street Fair, Up Your Alley Fair (Dore alley), Folsom St Fair,
Pistahan Parade and Festival at Yerba Buena Gardens, Pride Parade,
Israel in the Garden (YBG), 4th of July Firework show, Triathlon on
Treasure Island, Taste of South Beach Festival, Oracle Convention Street
Closure, and Fleet Week are just some of the events scheduled. Each of
these events attracts large crowds. Southern Station Officers
regularly work extra hard during the Summer months to ensure the safety
of City


residents and all the extra visitors attracted to the district by
special events. The resources of the station are strained by all the
extra activity but the officers rise to the occasion every year to
provide a safe environment for residents and visitors. Many of the
officers have to give up their own weekend plans to staff these events.
The officers know it is in their job description to have to adjust their
work schedules and days off with little notice and they do it with
little or no complaint. Southern Station had a very dedicated and
professional group of officers and I commend them for the hard work
they do to keep the public safe.

Madrid were working a plainclothes assignment to suppress auto

burglaries in the area. They observed a man riding a bike the

wrong way on 4th St and looking in windows of parked cars. They

saw him stop at a green mini-van and break the side window and

quickly ride off. Auto burglars will often break a car window,

leave the vehicle, and come back a short time later to steal items

from the car. The Officers detained the 32 year old man. He

turned out to have a no bail Parolee at Large warrant for his

arrest. He had violated his parole for his conviction for

burglary. He was booked for his warrant and his current attempted

burglary.

Smith, and Mlaker were on foot patrol in the area when they

observed a 27 year old man loitering in the area. They saw him

cross Market Street against a red light and detained him. He had

no ID and gave the Officers a false name. Since the Officers

could not identify the man to cite him they placed him under

arrest and transported him to the station. There they

fingerprinted him and found that he was a Parolee at Large with a

no bail warrant. They placed him under arrest for the warrant and

searched him. They found in his pockets, packaged for sales,

tried to steal ice cream from the store. Officer Dong walked over

to talk to the juvenile who took off running. Officer Dong was

able to catch the youth and place him in custody. The juvenile

ran because he was an escapee from a youth juvenile correctional

facility. Officer Dong arrested him and notified the facility.

They sent a juvenile probation officer to take custody of the

youth.



Tuesday 3/30/10 6:30pm 6th and Jessie St: Officers Kerlegan and

Buhagiar, and Razzak were working a plainclothes detail to

suppress auto burglaries. They observed a 41 year old man and a

61 year old woman casing vehicles. The female was shining a

flashlight into the passenger side windows of cars while the man

followed her. They stopped at a Dodge Charger and the man threw

something through the car window breaking it. The female was

standing by as a lookout. The man reached into the car, cutting

his arm on the broken glass and took several items from the center

console. Both suspects then fled. The Officers chased them and

took both into custody. The male suspect had an Ipod touch, a

charger, cologne, and other items he had taken from the car. He

told the Officers that he didn’t steal anything, that he had just

“found” the items on the ground next to the car. The Officers

pointed out to him that he had broken glass all over him, his arm

was bleeding, and that they SAW him break the window and steal the

items.

The Officers were able to locate the owner of the victim vehicle

at a nearby nightclub. He identified the property taken from the

vehicle as belonging to him. The man was on State Parole for

Officers saw a rope from an open 2nd story window. They found the

front door unlocked but blocked from the inside. The Officers

called for additional units and also the fire department for a

ladder to search the premise for a burglar.

Inexplicably the “victim” of the burglary tried to climb into the

warehouse before the Officers conducted a search. They stopped

him from doing so, reminding him that he had asked for their

assistance because they thought a burglar was inside. The

Officers conducted a search of the premise, with the assistance of

a K9 without finding anyone inside the building. HOWEVER,

during their search of the warehouse they saw in plain sight 2

large cargo shipping containers, each 30 feet in length. The

doors were wide open in the containers revealing an elaborate

marijuana growing operation. Over 100 potted marijuana plants

with irrigation systems and thousands of dollars worth of lighting

were in the containers. The Officers found electrical conduit

running from the containers directly to the power pole outside,

bypassing the PG&E meter. The Officers booked the man on

cultivation of marijuana charges at County Jail.

his possession were his and that he did not by them from the

he looked sick. Prescription drugs are often sold in this area.

up. The man told Phoenix PD that he was staying at the W and was

in the bar and became very intoxicated. He went back to his room

where he fell down and cut his arm on a vase. He said he didn’t

think it was too bad so he went to sleep. He apparently checked

out the next morning without mentioning to anyone that he bled all

over the room from a self inflicted injury. He told the Phoenix

Officer that he had his arm stitched up at Peninsula Hospital

before his flight home. He said the reason he had it stitched up

before his flight was that the airline refused to allow him to

story was verified through the airlines and Peninsula hospital and

huge bar bill from the W the night before.



Monday 4/19/10 10pm Larkin and Ellis: Several Officers from

windows. The two juveniles immediately fled from the bus when

they saw the Sgt walking toward him. Sgt O’Mahonoy requested

the area of UN Plaza. An undercover Officer was carrying a

“stolen” laptop under his jacket. The laptop was visible under

the jacket he was carrying. Three men in their early 30’s

approached the Officer and offered to buy the computer. They

buyer insisted on walking around the corner where the surveillance

camera from the Federal Building couldn’t see them. They haggled

for a while over the price of the MacBookPro which the Officer

told the suspect he had just stolen. They finally agreed on a

price of $300. They exchanged the cash for the computer and went

their separate ways. The watching Officers arrested the 3 men and

recovered the computer. The men were booked for possession of

stolen property and conspiracy. One of the men was also charge

injury. The suspect tried to take the victim’s purse from her

shoulder while she was on the ground. He was chased off by a

security guard. A very alert Off Duty police officer saw the

suspect running and took him into custody. As with most street

robberies this was a very cowardly act. The suspect was 6-1 200

pounds and the victim 5-3 115 pounds. When the suspect was

arraigned on the felony robbery charge his attorney claimed that

due to mental illness the suspect was not competent to stand trial

and requested a mental evaluation. On 4/19/10 the Court received

the report finding the suspect competent to stand trial. His

preliminary hearing is set for 4/26. The suspect has been in

custody since the robbery on $75,000 bail.
