During the last seven day period, the Police Department handled 655 service events, resulting in 131 investigations. Following are the last week’s highlighted issues and events:

Criminal Threats / Gang Injunction Violation – Suspect Arrested
On June 11 at 8:54 p.m., Special Enforcement Team members observed a male suspect who was wanted for criminal threats and was in violation of the anti-gang Injunction. As they attempted to stop the subject, he fled and jumped the fence of a nearby business and hid between several large trucks. Containment of the area was established and a police canine was requested from Irwindale Police Department. The canine unit arrived and a responsible person for the then-closed business arrived and allowed officers to enter. The suspect refused commands to exit; the canine was deployed and the suspect was taken into custody. Three counts of violating the gang Injunction were added to the booking.

Driving Under the Influence / Traffic Collision – Suspect Arrested
On June 12 at 12:55 a.m., an officer was traveling west on Duarte Road and noticed a vehicle with loud music playing. When he attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver accelerated, turned into a parking lot, and turned off his headlights. The officer contacted the driver and determined the driver was under the influence. He was arrested. The driver claimed he had not been drinking prior to the stop, but his blood alcohol level was found to be above the legal limit.

Bear Incident
On June 12 at 10:18 a.m., an animal control officer and two police officers responded to the 200 block of Canyon Crest on the sighting of a bear and two cubs.

Possession of Methamphetamine – Suspect Arrested
On June 13 at 8:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to an alley in the 600 block of West Foothill regarding two subjects arguing. When officers arrived, they saw a female come out from under a partially open garage door. The female was carrying some items in her hand. Officers thought the female was possibly stealing something from inside the garage. When they approached the female, they discovered a male subject was still inside the garage. The male subject was also detained. The officer saw the female had something clenched in her hand. He ordered her several times to show her hands. When she opened her clenched hand, two baggies of methamphetamine were revealed. Nothing was found on the male subject. Both subjects had permission to be on the property. The female was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.
