LOG OF SHAME APRIL BLANKINSHIP AND TONI GARCIA Contributed
December 1st, 2021 At around 11 p.m., a man was working out at a gym on Shaw after a long day at work. He decided to head to the showers when he noticed that the locker he was using, was open and all the contents missing including his wallet! What kind of low life stealing a guy’s wallet while he is working out? The thief is lucky they did not get caught because this guy already works out and I am sure they were in for a butt whooping! December 2nd, 2021 Around 1 p.m. at a big box store on Herndon, an unknown suspect walked in to buy some toys for Christmas. Upon realizing the prices of things, the suspect decided paying was for the birds and they took off with a cart full of toys! Let us just hope they were taking them to donate to the less fortunate instead of just being a bad human! December 3rd, 2021 An administrator from an out-of-town school district was staying at a hotel on Clovis Ave. When they came out to go to their meeting around 11 a.m., they noticed a male standing near their car suspiciously. When they got closer to the car, the male noticed them and took off running towards a car and sped off. The male had been attempting to break into the car and did a lot of damage while doing it. Luckily, nothing was taken but they sure left an impression on the administrator…and the car. December 4th, 2021 At around 8pm at a frozen yogurt shop, a few workers were getting ready to close for the night when someone shot into the store! Luckily no one was hurt, but there was some damage to the store front. I love frozen yogurt too, buddy, but you don’t have to shoot the place up because it is closed when you want some ice cream! December 5th, 2021 At around 6 p.m. at a big box store on Herndon, a pair of thieves were arrested for attempting to steal toys and clothes. This is their second time, as they were just in a few days prior for stealing toys and clothes as well. I understand money is tight but a theft charge is not worth a huge Christmas. Now more than likely, the pair will be in spending Christmas in a jail cell. December 6th, 2021 At around 11 a.m., a worker at a pizza place on Clovis reported a break in upon arriving to open the store. The thieves stole a giant 80” TV and got off with about $300 cash from the drawer! They better watch out because Santa is watching and sounds like these guys are going to be on the naughty list for this one. December 7th, 2021 Over on Celeste Ave, a couple returned home from a vacation to find their home had been robbed! Someone had kicked in their side garage door to enter their home and took valuable items like purses, wallets, and credit cards. Robbing people must be exhausting because the thieves even took two sports drinks! Do you know what else is exhausting? Working a job every single day. Try doing that instead of stealing from hardworking people! December 8th, 2021 Just after 10 a.m. on Dennis Ave, a porch pirate sure struck jackpot. The homeowner reported a suspect had stolen multiple packages from their porch including, a meal delivery kit, make up, a jacket and an air fryer. Sounds like someone’s wife is going to be having a great Christmas! December 9th, 2021 Around 10:30 am, at a local discount retail store a woman was booked into custody while attempting to steal several items totaling almost $900! The police were called, and the woman was caught with all the stolen merchandise in her trunk. When the police ran her name, they also found out she was on parole! She was booked into county jail but this stint while being on parole is going to have her looking at serious time! December 10th, 2021 At a big box retailer on Herndon Ave, two adult females were caught stealing over $200 in Magic the Gathering card game! Of all things that someone could steal, they decided to steal a card game. They must really love the game if they are willing to go to jail to get them! December 11th, 2021 A resident over on Nicolette Ave reported that a package had been stolen off their porch by an unknown suspect. The package in question had been a customized photo book for the resident’s grandma! What low lives to steal from granny! Serves them right as the book is useless to them but hopefully, they do the right thing and just mail it back to the resident! December 12th, 2021 Around 11 p.m. on Bedford Ave, a resident was going outside to turn off their Christmas lights for the night when they noticed that their decorations had been taken. A set of five feet tall Mickey and Minnie Mouse inflatables were taken off their lawn! There is a shortage of Christmas decorations this year but stealing the mouse and his girlfriend from someone’s lawn is never okay. So much for the most wonderful time of the year. December 13th, 2021 Around 2 a.m. on Herndon Ave, an officer spotted a driver that was swerving down the road. Upon pulling them over, they could smell alcohol coming from the driver. When the officer asked for the driver’s license, the driver then admitted their license was suspended! When the officer administered a sobriety test, the driver failed. Not only was the driver cited for no valid license, but they were also hauled off to jail for drunk driving! Hopefully, a night in the drunk tank will knock some sense into them for all the mistakes they had made that night. December 14th, 2021 At a shopping center on Shaw Ave, a few minutes before midnight, there was a report of suspicious activity. The officers arrived to find three people huddled in a corner. Upon approaching the group, police noticed the group smoking meth! The three musketeers were escorted to the paddy wagon and off to pokey. They thought huddling in a corner would not be suspicious. Do not do drugs, kids, it obviously rots your brain. *The above Police Logs are loosely based on actual events. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
