Oct. 14, 12 p.m., 100 block of
Day, Burglary Arrest: Officer Fung and several other
Ingleside officers responded to a possible burglary in
progress. Dispatch provided a description of the suspect for
units responding. While responding to the burglary, an
Ingleside unit spotted a suspect fitting the description, and
detained him not too far from where the initial incident
occurred. The officers picked up the witness in order to
conduct a cold show with the detained subject. The witness
told the officers that the suspect they had was the one she
had called about. The witness told the officers that she ran
into the suspect in a shared garage area of her home and knew
that he was not a tenant in the building. The officers
questioned the suspect, who told them that he was on active
probation. A record check confirmed his probationary status.
The officers searched the suspect and located several burglary
tools inside of a backpack he was carrying. Because the
suspect is on probation, he is prohibited from carrying these
kinds of tools. The suspect was arrested and transported to
Ingleside Station. Officers returned to the apartment building
and met with the victim, who showed them pry marks on a door
and tape that had been removed from the lock guard area.
Officers took pictures of the damage and booked them as
evidence. #12082558
Oct. 20, 5:59 a.m., 900 block
of San Jose Ave., DUI Arrest: Officers Pereira and
Etcheveste responded to the intersection of San Jose and
Randall Street on a call of a person sleeping inside his
vehicle, which was parked on the Muni tracks. As they arrived
on scene, they noticed a red Mustang stopped in the middle of
the road with its headlights on. Medics were already on scene
and told the officers that they were unable to wake up the
driver or either of the two passengers. The officers noticed
that the vehicle was still on, and in drive. Officer Pereira
reached into the vehicle, over the sleeping driver, and placed
the car in park. The officers then removed the driver and the
two passengers from the vehicle. Officer Pereira could smell a
strong odor of alcohol coming from the driver’s breath. The
driver also had bloodshot eyes and spoke with a slight slur.
Officer Pereira then conducted a field sobriety test, which
the driver failed. Based on the officers’ observations, the
driver’s symptoms of intoxication, and his failed performance
on the field sobriety test, the driver was placed under arrest
for driving under the influence. #120844720

responded to a possible burglary in progress on the unit block
of 28th Street. The victim stated that an unknown suspect just
left her apartment on foot headed down San Jose Avenue
carrying a piece of the door frame in his hand. The officers
arrived and searched the area but were unable to locate the
suspect. They then spoke to the victim, who said she was
inside her apartment when she heard a noise. She heard the
front door to her apartment, which was unlocked at the time,
open and shut right away. She thought this was strange, so she
went out of her apartment and saw the unknown suspect walking
away, down the hallway that leads to the outside door that
exits to the sidewalk. The victim immediately called the
police. She said the unknown suspect never stepped inside her
apartment because she was playing loud music, which might have
spooked the suspect away. The victim said no possessions were
taken. #120860174

witness. The victim stated that she had returned home from
work and had just gotten out of her car when she noticed
someone running toward her on the sidewalk. She panicked, got
back into her vehicle, and locked herself inside. The suspect
then began hitting the driver-side window with an unknown
object, attempting to break it. The victim then moved into the
passenger seat while screaming for help. Without any success
breaking the window, the suspect fled on foot. #120878064
