Here’s the latest of the more notable cases from the streets of Capitol Hill’s East Precinct:
- Police are looking for a man who left behind a useful clue in a suspected shoplifting incident at the Walgreens on Broadway at Pine on Sunday afternoon. In the incident, the man and an accomplice were allegedly spotted stealing a pair of socks by a store security employee. The employee grabbed the man as he attempted to exit the store and the man reportedly struck him with a Walgreens shopping basked and then fled the scene, leaving a plastic bag containing methadone — but no socks. The methadone bottle was labeled with the name of the “person of interest” in the attempted shoplifting, the SPD report notes. By the way, the SPD report also says that the socks were never found.
- Last Saturday, September 3rd, a woman told police she believed a friend of a tenant in her E Pine apartment building stole — then returned her truck. Here’s the peculiar account:
- Sometime between last Sunday night and Monday afternoon, a Roanoke Park-area restaurant was busted into and about $500 in cash stolen from the register behind its bar. According to SPD, the burglar was able to enter the unidentified 10th Ave E restaurant by busting a small window. The business had an alarm system but it was not activated at the time of the burglary.
- A woman contacted police late last Friday night to report that she had been attacked by unknown assailants as she got out of her car near her Interlaken Place E home. The woman told police she was walking toward her home around 9:30p when she was hit in the back of her head causing her to fall and scrape her face and knees. The woman never saw her assailants but believed more than one person had hit her. Nothing was taken in the incident.
- Finally, here’s the SPD community newsletter for September. Beware people wearing safety vests.
In every porn movie they never check the cable guy’s ID and those situations always seem to end up pretty positive for everyone involved.
see this is why we need a larger police presents at cal anderson park.
I don’t know… larger presents aren’t necessarily better. They do say good things come in small packages after all. Maybe just better wrapping paper would do the trick.
Phil,
File a lawsuit. I thought sock theft was one of the lowest priorities for the SPD. 62% of the public agree (according to the Stranger) that stealing is ok.
The cops should set up a hot hosiery buy/bust operation in Cal Anderson.
is that what u do all day Mr Grammar? nitpick posts? I get the point of the post and the sarcasm. no spell check or sarcasm needed.
You should capitalize the first letter of each sentence.
“U” should be spelled “you” unless you are a tweener.
You can go either with “Mr” versus “Mr.” depending on where you learned english so we can give you a pass on this one.
