Blotter — Des Moines

Don’t spill

An assault was reported at the Kum & Go at 3104 University Ave. on April 24 at 7:45 p.m. The victim told officers two black males assaulted him inside the store in their early 20s. He also claimed the assailants were the sons of the female clerk at the store. The officers viewed the security footage inside and watched the victim spill some of his soda pop, which he was told to clean up. An argument began, and the two attackers appear to have been physically unprovoked. One punched the victim directly in the mouth, then the second jumped in as well. The clerk was not forthcoming about the names of her sons and claimed to be unable to spell their names. The medics treated the victim for a bloody lip, head pain and jaw pain.

Put your name on it

An officer was dispatched to the Ingersoll area near 38th Street on April 24 on a report of a possible burglary. During the past two years, the victim has had problems with juveniles entering and causing damage to his unoccupied house, which he is currently using for storage. Several neighbors have seen teens coming and going at all hours of the day and night through a broken window. The victim said nothing was taken this time, but the suspects moved things around inside and destroyed some property, including the hardwood floors. The suspects left paperwork inside the home with a name of a teen who attends Hoover High School. CV
