Spittle

An officer was dispatched on May 15 at 7 p.m. to the southeast side of Des Moines to the Youth and Shelter Services (YSS) about a report of an assault on some staff members. The staff at YSS wanted to document that a client may have assaulted one of them at the juvenile shelter. The staff member reported that the suspect spit on her face.

The victim is court-ordered to be at YSS by the Department of Human Services (DHS) and will remain at the facility until further notice from DHS.

Eastside weirdo on the loose

Police were called on May 15 by a grandmother who was making a report for her granddaughter. The granddaughter said a male exposed himself to her while she and her friend were walking westbound on the sidewalk just north of the 2600 block of East University Avenue at around 4:45 p.m. The victim said a white male in his 20s or 30s slowly pulled up in an older black 4-door sedan style. He stopped for about 10 seconds and the victim looked over and saw he had exposed himself and was looking at her. The victim said that, after about 10 seconds, the vehicle continued westbound and eventually turned right before going northbound near East 25th Street. The victim said the suspect did not say anything to her. The suspect had shoulder-length brown hair and a long beard to his mid-stomach. He was wearing black-framed glasses, a grey beanie hat, a grey shirt with a green symbol on it and blue jeans. Officers have not yet located anyone matching this description.
