Enjoy a few laughs with Murrieta PD’s Weekly Roundup 12/13
From Murrieta PD/Facebook
– New Year’s is coming and it’s time to make your resolution. Are you going to start going to the gym, eat better, maybe keep it simple and just try and make better choices? #babysteps #abetteryou Whatever your resolution is, having goals is a good thing. #motivation #settingpersonalrecords Just remember to pace yourself. Being arrested twice in 24 hours is quite the accomplishment. Not many people can say that they’ve done it, but now Michael Gilreath can. Hopefully 2019 will be a better year for him.
LEADING THE RCNS HEADLINES:
UPDATE: I-215 re-opened after officials coax suicidal woman to safety
Despite citizen’s efforts, one confirmed killed in Hemet blaze
UPDATE: HVH “emergency” possibly related to nationwide bomb threats
– If you have a felony warrant, you probably should try to lay low and blend in. #actnatural Drawing attention to your self will usually involve police and thus them discovering your felony warrant. Manuel Briseno must have forgotten about his warrant when he caused such a disturbance that police were called on Sunday. #nexttimejustgotocourt
– Apparently forgetting the fact that you have warrants is pretty common. Sarah Damptz was contacted Monday evening when officers responded to a disturbance at a local eating establishment. Unfortunately for Sarah, the officer reminded her of her outstanding warrant and escorted her to #CBDC so she could take care of it.
– If you’re going to shoplift, you shouldn’t bring all of your meth with you. #tipoftheday David De La Rosa learned that the hard way.
– If you’re on probation or parole and have an outstanding warrant, chances are the Parole Probation Compliance Team will find you. #itswhattheydo Tuesday morning the team located David Reynolds and helped him get to court so he could clear up his outstanding warrant. #teamwork #makesthedreamwork
– James Atherton and Lindsey Witt were contacted just after midnight on Wednesday during a traffic stop. As the officer was speaking to the duo he saw narcotics paraphernalia inside the vehicle. #heywhatsthatthere #thatsaclue You can imagine the officer’s surprise when he located the heroin and meth too. The two spent the rest of their night at #thebyrdhouse. #dontforeget #nothinggoodhappensaftermidnight #youknewitwascoming

– This has been the week of warrants. Wednesday afternoon Officer Schmidt was on routine patrol when he observed a minor traffic collision. He stopped to assist the drivers and noticed that one of the drivers was acting suspicious. #hmmmm #whyyoutrippin Officer Schmidt conducted a records check on the driver, Christopher Hooks and quickly discovered the reason for his odd behavior; he had an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest. #aaahhhh #sothatswhy Officer Schmidt hooked Hooks and booked him into #thebyrdhouse.
– Have you ever bumped into an old flame? #awkward Imagine running into your high school sweetheart as you’re getting booked into jail. #omg #isthathim #omg #itis It’s even worse when he’s a deputy and you’re the arrestee. #superawkward #excusemeofficer #canihidebehindyou #couldthisdaygetanyworse
