Police Log: September 7, 2011

There was another residential burglary on Wednesday. Police want everyone to make sure they are locking their doors and windows when they leave for the day and to report any unknown vehicles in the neighborhood. One of the items stolen Wednesday was a VCR and those are getting hard to replace.

1:28 a.m.: Police arrested a 21-year-old Vallejo man on suspicion of being drunk in public and resisting arrest. Some people refer to this as being “stupid drink”.

1:29 a.m.: Vandals struck near First and H street, breaking a window and damaging landscaping at a business.

1:39 a.m.: A Columbus Circle alarm went off for no apparent reason.

6:21 a.m.: An employee at a West Channel business failed to adequately enter the alarm code, causing police to show up.

6:57 a.m.: Police documented a case of vandalism masquerading as community beautification when it was noted a number of campaign signs on Southampton Road had been separated from their poles.

9:46 a.m.: Those feuding neighbors on Buena Vista were at it again.  Police continue to try and negotiate a peace settlement between the neighbors.

12:58 p.m.: A dog was running around Solano Square. Officers were unable to catch the wayward hound.

2:07 p.m.: Police were notified there might be a drunk driver on East Second Street. Try as they might, they were unable to find the car and driver.

2:56 p.m.: A caller on First Street reported what sounded like a trapped animal. Police looked but were unable to locate the animal or any noise source that sounded like a trapped animal.

4:27 p.m.: Another residential burglary was reported, this time on Hastings. Jewelry, cash and a VCR were taken. 

7:18 p.m.: A good citizen turned in a lost cell phone. Police were able to contact the owner. Phone and owner will be re-united.

8:22 p.m.: A 16-year-old got into an argument over the rules with his mom. Police were called to mediate as the youngster was trying to leave the house. 

8:25 p.m.: Police were called to Park Road to document an argument over a custody issue. 

Editor’s Note: Even though I inject a bit of humor into these police logs, please remember, the men and women whose job it is to protect us rarely find it funny when they are approaching a drunk person or a building where the alarm is going off.
