Syringes aren’t just for narcotics: At 3:26 p.m. in the 18300 block of 120th Avenue Northeast a patrol officer identified a subject moving in a sporadic, jerky manner. The male was wandering around aimlessly in a store and appeared to have open sores on his face and hands. Officers followed as the suspect left the store to his car and notified him that he was being detained to investigate drug loitering. Officers located drug paraphernalia such as syringes and a torch-style lighter in the vehicle. Police informed him why he was being arrested to which the subject asked, why was he being arrested. The officer explained that a syringe is a common piece of drug paraphernalia, and the man asked if people used syringes for reasons other than drug use.

Delicate flower: At 3:28 p.m. in the 10000 block of Northeast and 162nd Street, officers responded to a report of four individuals assaulting a male. The victim was sitting on his bed with his girlfriend when a female (he knows through his girlfriend) walked in and punched him in the face twice. He pushed her back as the suspect’s boyfriend entered the room and pulled a pistol from his waistband, pointing it at the victim’s head. The pistol was a BB gun. A second male entered the room, and the two males punched the victim in the face numerous times. The victim’s roommate was able to step in as the victim called the police. The motive behind the attackers was that the victim made a negative comment about one of the suspect’s DIY flower box business.

“She’s awfully pretty”: At 4:58 p.m. in the 18700 block of 101st Avenue Northeast, a male was talking on the phone with his girlfriend when the phone disconnected abruptly. The boyfriend called and texted with no response, so he called the police to conduct a welfare check. When officers arrived at her house, the victim was frantic. She was expecting a friend that night, but when she opened her back door, a large male forced himself inside. He had her pinned up against the wall for about 20-30 minutes, and placed his hands on her hips, wrists, and neck. The suspect then grabbed her phone and texted her boyfriend, “She’s awfully pretty.”
