Enjoy a good laugh with Murrieta PD’s Weekly Roundup 1/3

From Murrieta PD Facebook

– When you’re parked behind a business at 2:00 a.m., you’re going to get an officer’s attention. #whyareyoulurkinginthedark When Officer Hom contacted Austin Enochs, Austin tried to perform some magic and make a bag he had in his hands disappear. #abracadabra But Austin was no David Copperfield and Officer Hom saw the bag of heroin fall to the ground. #keeppracticing Austin spent the rest of the night in #CBDC.

– Don’t you hate it when you get pulled over and you have a suspended driver’s license? #UGH Don’t worry, Melissa Stinner didn’t have to walk home after her car was towed. She was taken to #thebyrdhouse for her six outstanding warrants.

– Officer Martin (and Duke of course) responded to a shopping center regarding a suspicious male walking around the parking lot looking into vehicles. #lockyourcars Officer Martin quickly located David Garcia and contacted him as he tried to leave the area. Apparently David already knew that he was on Santa’s naughty list because he was less than cordial with Officer Martin, especially when Officer Martin found his meth and heroin. FYI – Santa doesn’t deliver to #thebyrdhouse.

– We all know that #nothinggoodhappensaftermidnight and that’s why Officer Valle likes to work nights. If there’s trouble, she’ll find it. #gingerpowersactivate She ran into Kalen Kornfeind at 1:50 a.m. and discovered that not only was he on parole, but he had an outstanding felony warrant as well. #doublewhammy He was taken to #CBDC.

– Christmas Day, Officer Baker responded to a disturbance in the Mapleton’s. The caller stated that a male was yelling and acting odd. #whyyoutrippin Officer Baker located Robert Bond and found that he was not only under the influence, but also had an outstanding felony warrant. Robert spent the rest of Christmas in jail.

– Remember that scene in Old School where Will Ferrell ran around naked? #weregoingstreaking It was hilarious! It’s not so funny when a guy does that in broad daylight in Town Square Park. Michael Keen ended up in the front lobby of the Police Station #bucknaked and was detained by officers. Michael was found to be under the influence and taken to #thebyrdhouse. #dontdodrungs #mmmkay

– John Baxter was contacted just after midnight in his vehicle which is no big deal, he’s an adult. The only problem was his felony warrant. #doh

– Drugs and warrants seem to be the theme for the last few weeks of 2018. David Gastelum and Lisa Castillo jumped on that band wagon. #notagoodbandwagon Not to be left out, Mary Sheahan was arrested for her felony warrant and her counterparts were cited out for their drugs. #everybodyisonthebandwagon #thewrongbandwagon

– A hazard of breaking into vehicles is getting caught. Not necessarily by the police, but by the owner of the vehicle you were seen on video taking items from. #lockyourcars John Appel was confronted by the owner of the vehicle and, long story short, the police showed up and John went to #thebyrdhouse.

– Officers contacted Dave Thompson and Kenneth Walker during a traffic stop. Dave had two outstanding warrants and Kenneth had seven. Seriously, take care of your warrants and you won’t keep going to jail. #handleyourbusiness

– Officer Hernandez conducted a traffic stop Saturday night and contacted Patricia Pena and Carlo Brol. Ms. Pena and Mr. Brol were found to be in possession of narcotics and paraphernalia. #youdontsay While Officer Hernandez was conducting his investigation, he located several checks that didn’t belong to anyone in the car. #saywhat The rightful owner of the checks informed the officer that their checks had been stolen from the mail. #9pmroutine #thisiswhy The duo were taken to #thebyrdhouse to ring in their new year.

– An observant citizen called us on Sunday night to report that he was watching a male attempt to steal a bicycle from the front of a store. The caller told dispatch that male cut the lock off of the bicycle and rode away. #dude #thatsnotyours Corporal Abbate located the thieving bicyclist and discovered that it was Lorenzo Saldivar. Corporal Abbate was familiar with Lorenzo and after their reunion, he returned the bike to the owner and took Lorenzo to jail.

– Officer Martin conducted a traffic stop at 3:15 Wednesday morning and contacted David Warren and his friends. Unfortunately for David, he had an outstanding warrant for violating his parole. #Ihateitwhenthathappens David was taken to #CBDC and his friends were released at the scene. I’m pretty sure that if he would have been at home instead of cruising the streets of Murrieta in the middle of the night he wouldn’t be in jail. #nothinggoodhappensaftermidnight
