Enjoy a good laugh with Murrieta PD’s Weekly Roundup 12/21

– Sunday morning at 4:50 a.m. Officer Baker started his shift by contacting David Valencia. #goodmorning#howareyou He was sleeping in his car in the parking lot of a local big box store. #powernap A records check of Mr. Valencia revealed that he had a felony warrant for his arrest. #uhoh Officer Baker took David to finish his slumber at #CBDC.

– Monday afternoon, dispatch received a call regarding a male making a scene inside a business. #dudecalmdown The caller gave dispatch a description of the suspect and the vehicle that the male had just left in. #goodinformation Guess who was right in front of the business as the suspect in question was leaving the parking lot. Yep, Officer Baker. #heseverywhere Officer Baker needed to speak to the male in question so he could get his side of the story. #twosidestoeverystory Apparently the male driving the car didn’t feel like talking, because he decided to not yield when Officer Baker conducted a traffic stop. #thoselightsarentsuggestions After a series of bad decisions, #verybad#veryverybad the vehicle finally yielded inside Bear Creek after driving through the exit gate and over the traffic control spike strips. #theyrethereforareason#nowyouhaveflattires It turns out that the driver, Nolan Myers had a couple felony warrants and his passenger Lori Johnston had a warrant herself. #foronemeeeeliondollars#somanywarrants

– One way to get on Santa’s Naughty List is to take a check that doesn’t belong to you, alter it so it looks like it does belong to you, and then try and cash it. #nicetry Glenda Sale. We call that forgery.

– Tuesday evening officers responded to a shoplifter in custody. Logan Masih had walked out of the store without paying for several items. #oopsiforgot The only problem was that Logan had been identified by loss prevention in prior thefts. #oopsididitagain Officers arrested Logan for the theft, his misdemeanor warrant and added a bonus charge for committing a crime while on bail. #outonbail#freshouttajail#vacuumstealin

– Thursday morning, three minutes past midnight to be exact, Officer Miller conducted a traffic stop on Murrieta Hot Springs Road. The driver of the vehicle, Garrie Aspengren, apparently had other plans and didn’t feel like participating in the stop. #thoselightsarentsuggenstions. Garrie eventually stopped and Officer Miller discovered why Garrie hesitated; he knew that the meth and heroin he had were frowned upon. Officer Miller delivered Garrie to #thebyrdhouse to finish his evening.

– It’s almost Christmas! If you plan on attending any holiday parties and are going to partake in libations, please remember to plan ahead. #dontdrinkanddrive Have fun and enjoy yourself, but there’s no reason to get behind a wheel when you’re under the influence. #alcohol#marijuana#designateddriver#uber#lyft #taxi #callyourmomma
