Drunk at Kmart.. Again?

Can’t get enough of ScanRiverside. It’s just rich with information.

• 2:32 pm – PD at Kmart on Iowa/x Mass.  Shoplifter in custody, drank half a bottle of liquor.  I wonder what kind it was.

PoliceGate 2010: Traffic Collision Report

This came out a few days ago but I didn’t actually take a look at it until today.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.

And the Scanner Says: 2.18.10

Shockwave on Google Chrome crashes constantly while I listen to Scan Riverside so I am turning to IE 8 now to get my nightly Scanner fix.  </geek talk>

• Welfare check at Mission Inn/x Pine. Male subject may be despondent/suicidal due to a recent divorce
• Male dressed in black, approximately late 30’s, causing a ruckus at CVS on Magnolia and refusing to leave.  At first I thought it was the CVS at Market and 3rd and was not surprised.  That CVS can be a little (or a lot) crazy.  But it may have been the one on Magnolia and Adams.  If you don’t believe me about the madness at the Market/3rd Street CVS, check out this video:

• Traffic stop at Arlington and Redlands
• Bike stop at Victoria and 11th
• Subject on bike with a gun at Lake Alice on University.  Subject described as young male, dressed in blue hoodie.   – 1:00 am.

The Story Continues: No Calls to Riverside Officials after Chief’s Crash

According to policy, a City Manager or another top official should have received notification about the Chief’s (or any high profile official) car crash as soon as it was possible.  However no one from the PD made any calls, but there was an anonymous call to City Hall per Mayor Loveridge.  Per PE.com:

Assistant City Manager Tom De Santis said that normally, the chief or another top officer would call him in an incident involving a high-profile official.

But that didn’t happen when Leach was stopped, nor did anyone call City Manager Brad Hudson, City Attorney Greg Priamos or Councilman Steve Adams, De Santis said.

Instead, after crashing his Chrysler 300 into a fire hydrant and light pole and blew two tires, Mr. Leach continued driving a few more miles before being pulled over and gave him a safe and secure ride home. Sans Breathalyzer, sobriety test or any of that nonsense.  The officers report noted that he had been drinking, but with those unnamed pharmaceuticals, its hard to say what kind of cocktail had been brewing in his digestive system.

At least the CHP is investigating it now.  Hopefully it isn’t too late to get the facts in order to make a prudential judgement.
