Drunk riding
A 61-year-old man called Des Moines Police after being robbed and assaulted on Nov. 6. The man told police that he was waiting at the bus stop near Sixth and University Avenues when a group of men and women in a black SUV offered him a ride. The victim offered the driver money for the ride, but passed out during the ride. The victim was woken up while being dragged out of the vehicle near Mr. Bibs Restaurant. There, the victim was robbed of his wallet, which contained $300 and his cellphone. He was then struck in the face by one of the suspects and left in the parking lot of the restaurant. A customer at the restaurant witnessed the incident, according to employees, but the employees themselves did not. The victim was reported as heavily intoxicated and could not give a description of the suspects. No further information was provided at the time of the incident, and the victim was transported to his residence.

The girlfriend and her daughter proceeded to chase the victim around the apartment, attempting to shock him multiple times with a Taser and threatening him with a pocketknife. The man was able to push the daughter out of the apartment and held down the woman until police arrived. The woman was transported to Mercy for minor pain caused by the event. A bag of marijuana and hydrocodone fell out of the woman’s pocket, which she admitted belonged to her. An independent witness, standing in the apartment’s driveway, saw the incident and confirmed the report. CV
