Suspect Behavior
Family feud
An argument over whose turn it was to use the phone turned violent when a 38-year-old woman began threatening to whoop her niece’s ass. When the victim didn’t back down, the suspect jumped on her niece and began slapping her in the face and pulling her hair, police say. The victim attempted to run away from her aunt, who then grabbed a beer stein and began swinging it, trying to hit her niece. The victim’s husband intervened and was hit by the stein, which cut his lower arm. Police responded and arrested the perp for aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.
Hypothetically speaking
A suspect who was urinating in front of a house on Berry Street pulled what appeared to be a small metal pipe out of his front pocket and tossed it into a neighboring yard when he saw an officer approaching. The perp denied throwing anything, but then asked the officer whether, if he had thrown something, he could receive a citation instead of being arrested? When the officer again asked what type of item he was referring to, the suspect again insisted he hadn’t thrown anything. The 48-year-old was charged with public indecency for relieving himself in someone’s yard, police say, and later was booked for possession of drug paraphernalia and tampering with evidence after a metal crack pipe was found in the bushes.
JK
A woman called 911 to report she had gotten into a fight with a female acquaintance on Jenkins Street. When police failed to respond within 15 minutes, the 47-year-old woman called back and reported that someone had been shot. Officers and paramedics rushed to the scene where they found no shooting victim. When asked if anyone had been shot, police say the suspect answered, “Oh no. I just said that so you would get here faster.” The woman was then carted off to jail for filing a false report.
Tanked and heading for the drunk tank
A 21-year-old who was kicked out of McFadden’s Irish Pub for being drunk and disorderly approached two officers patrolling lower Broadway and “demanded to be allowed to enter the club again,” police say. The police explained they couldn’t help him, at which point the suspect went ballistic and began cursing at the officers. When asked to show some identification, police say the perp “balled his fist and reached back in a swinging motion in an attempt to strike the officer.” The suspect missed, and was arrested for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and assault.
