– Thursday evening officers responded to the area of Jackson and Nutmeg regarding a male that was seen jumping in a fountain. #youdontseethateveryday When Officers Lynton and Datil arrived, the public bather had moved on and the officers continued to check the area. Officer Lynton located him riding a bicycle in traffic on Kalmia near Madison. When the subject saw Officer Lynton approaching him, he professed to all around him just how excited he was to see Officer Lynton. #lotsofspicywords Once he calmed down, Officer Lynton identified him as Christopher Galardo. He also identified that the bicycle that Christopher was riding had just been taken from a local store. In Christopher’s defense, he did take a helmet too. #safetyfirst

– Saturday night Officer Datil conducted a traffic stop and contacted the driver, Ricky Keosy. Officer Datil found that Ricky was driving impaired and arrested him for DUI and booked him into #CBDC.
– Officer Martin responded to a possible shoplifting on Sunday in the area of Washington and Calle De Oso Oro. The caller advised that the subjects in question had just left in a white vehicle, and luckily Officer Martin was #johnnyonthespot because he found the white vehicle and the subjects described by the caller not far away. During the contact with the subjects, Peter Boroujerdi and Hunter Rutz, Officer Martin discovered that not only did they both have outstanding warrants, but they had narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia too. #saywhat #noway
– While Officer Martin was on his stop, Officer Drootin made a stop of his own and contacted Tyler Hamilton and Theodore Tilton and conducted a records check on both. The check revealed that Tyler was on #PRCS probation and Theodore was not only on #PRCS, he was on county probation as well. #doubleprobation Officer Drootin conducted a probation check on both subjects and their vehicle. #probationterms During that search he located #meth and narcotics paraphernalia. #saywhat #noway Both won a one way trip to #thebyrdhouse for violating their probations and possessing #meth.
– It’s funny how many people forget their name when they have a warrant. #sostrange Regina Silk may have forgotten her name, but luckily Officer Hom was there to help her remember. #sohelpful I’m sure her memory slip was due to her parole status, the outstanding felony warrant for violating her parole and the misdemeanor warrant for narcotics. #imsurethatswhy
– Officer Valle conducted a traffic stop 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning and contacted Denise Clarke. I’m sure that Denise knew that her night wasn’t going to end well when Officer Huss and Officer Sanetrick showed up. #threecopsonatrafficstop #anditsaftermidnight #youknowitsnotgood Denise tried her best to convince the trio of officers that the car she was driving wasn’t stolen, but to no avail. When the owner of the car says that it’s stolen and they have no idea who you are, it’s a sure sign that you’re going back to #thebyrdhouse. #lucyandlittlerickyonpatrol #gingerpowersactivated
– Officer Schmidt contacted Charles Hannum during a traffic stop and discovered that he had an outstanding felony warrant. It was Charles’ first time being arrested in Riverside County so Officer Schmidt gave him a quick tour of Murrieta while driving to #CBDC. #newplaces #newfaces #youshouldhavetakencareofthatwarrant

– Wednesday night Sergeant Williams saw a male riding a bicycle while towing another on Hunter Road. #prettysuspicious As Sergeant Williams maneuvered through traffic to catch up to the suspicious bicyclist, dispatch received a call of a stolen bicycle that matched the description of the bicycle being towed. #youdontsay The closer Sergeant Williams got to the bicyclist, it was obvious that he didn’t want to speak to the Sergeant. #playingfroggeronWinchesterisntrecommended As hard as Brandon Prater tried to avoid Sergeant Williams, he was apprehended a short distance away and the bicycle was returned to the owner. Brandon was booked in #CBDC for theft, possession of a controlled substance and violating his probation.
