Des Moines Police
Sept. 6 – 12
PISSY PANTS
Officers were called to the 6700 block of Southwest
14th Street just before 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 10
regarding a man dragging miscellaneous items
out of a garage. When they arrived, they found
the man sitting on the ground in front of the
garage in a puddle of his own urine. The cops
had trouble communicating with him “due to his
intoxication and anger toward officers.” He
was arrested for public intoxication and burglary.
Police spoke with the residents of the house
who were home at the time and witnessed his
behavior.
SWORD FIGHT?
A resident at Bethel Mission told police he
had gotten into a man’s vehicle to go drink
beer with him around noon on Sept. 11. After
they got to the alleged suspect’s house, they
started arguing, and the suspect reportedly
pulled knives and swords on the homeless man.
The victim eventually escaped the situation
and left to call police. He told police that
he was held against his will and was robbed
of at least $20. He accused the suspect of creating
these ruses in order to rob people. Police investigated,
but the story was too “scattered.” No suspects
were named.
4TH DOWN FOE
Police responded to a complaint on Sept. 9
of a disturbance at 4th Down Sports Bar, where
the bar manager alleged he had denied a patron
service and had asked him to leave. The unruly
patron refused to leave and said, “Get the fuck
away, or I’ll kick your ass.” As officers approached
and asked the patron for his ID he began to
walk away. Officers grabbed his wrist so the
patron turned and allegedly tried to punch the
officer. The cops pushed the man to the ground
and, after a struggle, managed to handcuff the
man. The suspect refused a breath test. He was
arrested. CV |
