Second-degree robbery at the 100 block of East
Euclid Avenue. Fareway Store personnel called
the cops after a man allegedly attempted to
walk out of the store with a cart full of $277.78
worth of meat. When they asked him about paying
after he passed the main check-out area, he
said he was going to pay at customer service.
He purchased two stamps at customer service
but did not pay for the food, and tried to leave.
Employees stopped him, and he reportedly said
he had a weapon and would not take his hand
out of his pocket. Police found a box cutter

searching him, also found a joint in a plastic

Assault at the 3600 block of Williams Street.
The alleged victim went with his girlfriend
to her father’s house. He sat down on the couch,
and a 60-year-old female (presumably related
to the girlfriend because they share the same
last name) confronted him, accusing him of “getting
into stuff,” and she told him to leave. When
he refused, she allegedly started choking him,
so he went outside to call police. Police observed
red marks on his neck. She was arrested after
admitting to police that she choked him because
he wouldn’t leave. CV |
