TUESDAY, MARCH 22
An officer was requested to respond to an area regarding two males who appeared to be intoxicated, attempting to ride a bicycle and stumbling in the road. The officer found the subjects, with one sitting in the roadway, and the other standing by the bike. As the officer contacted the subjects, both appeared to be highly intoxicated and slurring their words. One stated that they were both very drunk and were just trying to get home. The officer recognized the second subject as the same man in a booking photo he had been shown earlier by another officer who mentioned that the subject claimed to be a member of a gang. When asked if he had any weapons on him, the man said no. When asked to place his hands behind his head in preparation of being patted down, the subject suddenly ran away. The officer caught up with the subject and was able to handcuff him, and learned via radio that the name he had been given by the subject was false. The first subject was sitting on the curb when the officer returned to the location he had left him, and had a difficult time standing up and gathering all his things that he had emptied from his pockets onto the roadway. He was issued a summons for intoxicated pedestrian, and released to a sober acquaintance who responded to pick up the subject and his bicycle. The second suspect was transported to the jail where he refused a breath test. He was transported to the hospital due to his high level of intoxication. Once cleared, he was transported to jail where he was served with a summons for intoxicated pedestrian in the roadway and providing false identifying information to a law enforcement officer. He was left in the custody of jail staff.

An officer was dispatched to the intersection of South Market and West Main streets to the report of a theft from a vehicle. The officer spoke to a male and a female at the scene who were traveling back to Page, Ariz., where they were from. The female reported that they left the vehicle at 4:15 p.m. to go shopping on Main Street. When they returned around 5:40 p.m., they noticed that a large black bag belonging to the male was missing from the back of the truck. They also reported that a Ruger .9 mm handgun that also belonged to him was missing from the interior of the truck, and a prescription of Oxycodone that belonged to the female had been removed from the glove box. The male stated that the handgun had been lying on the front seat in plain view of people passing by. He said that it was the second time that it had been stolen from him. The male also described the missing black DC duffel bag contained some of his clothing; he estimate that the bag itself was worth $200 but that he did not pay for it because he skateboards for DC. He estimated the loss of his clothing at approximately $500. Both the male and the female on scene said that the vehicle was not locked, however, her service animal a goat named Abby was in the front of the truck and they didnt think that anyone would mess with the vehicle. Upon contacting the Page police department, the officer there advised that they were familiar with the female in this case and that she has on numerous occasions reported her narcotics have been stolen from her residence.
MONDAY, MARCH 28
An officer was dispatched to a residence to be on scene with a man that might pose a risk to responding EMTs. The man invited the officer into his residence and identified himself as the caller. When asked what the problem was, the man said that he had bugs crawling under his skin. He showed the officer his foot, where there appeared to be muscle spasms occurring. The man was in his underwear and a shirt and when he removed his shirt to show the officer the other places the bugs were, the officer noticed that his legs, arms, back, and face had red marks, and looked as if they had been scratched raw. The man was very twitchy and had a hard time staying still. When EMTs arrived the officer asked if there were any other occupants in the residence. The man told him there was no one else there, and that he could walk through to make sure. As the officer walked down the hall, he saw through the open door of the bathroom, a spoon with a pea-sized clump of a white, powdery substance. Next to the spoon was an empty syringe. The substance tested positive as a type of methamphetamine. The resident admitted to also having some marijuana. The resident was handcuffed, while twitching and jerking his body very energetically; he complained about not feeling well and stated that meth bugs had never felt like this before. The officer transported him to the emergency room, where he was medically cleared, and the resident was transported to jail where he was served a felony hold for unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
