Notable Cases

On Monday, 10-19-20 at 3:38 p.m., Officer Gill and Officer Brenes were dispatched to the area of Schwerin Street and Geneva Avenue on a report of a hit and run collision. The officers arrived and saw a black sedan with major damage to the front end, damage to both sides of the vehicle, the airbags deployed, and a male standing beside the vehicle. The male, a 22-year old Daly City resident, was hesitant to provide the officers with any information about how his vehicle sustained such damage. The vehicle had collided with a large tree, a Daly City streets electrical box, and a telephone pole. The male told the officers that someone he did not recognize followed him, and he felt that the vehicle collided with the rear end of his vehicle, causing him to “spin out”. The other car had left the scene; however, the reporting party provided a license plate of the other vehicle and a description of the driver. The male subject overheard Officer Gill telling Officer Brenes the name of the registered owner’s daughter, and the subject told the officers she was his current girlfriend. The officers conducted a records check on the girlfriend and found out she was previously arrested in a domestic violence case in which the same male was mentioned as the victim. Later that evening, officers interviewed the girlfriend, a 19-year old Daly City resident. The witness positively identified the female as the one who was involved in the collision. Officers then arrested the female for assault with a deadly weapon after she purposely rammed her vehicle into the victim’s vehicle.

The officer asked the subject if he had any property inside the bags that did not belonging to him. The subject consented to the officer checking his bags, and Officer Andrade found multiple unopened cellphone cases. The subject told the officer he purchased them from a store but did not have a receipt. Officer Grogan assisted and went to the wireless kiosk and noticed it was not staffed. Officer Grogan noticed the display case was broken, and he was able to see on video that the subject had broken into the display case.

The reporting party said he was dropping off his friends at their house on Morton Drive when he saw a vehicle with the doors open in the middle of the road, which made him unable to drive around the vehicle. The reporting party and his friend got out of their vehicle to try to find someone to move the vehicle. The reporting party heard a “tussling” sound coming from up the street and saw a male on top of a female, and he asked them what was going on. The male immediately got up and said his girlfriend was trying to find her earring. The reporting party said the male appeared intoxicated. The female appeared to be crying and got up to walk towards the vehicle. The reporting party told the female she shouldn’t be driving and offered to park the vehicle. The reporting party said the female got into the driver’s seat, and he reached in and turned the vehicle off, pulled the keys out of the car and called the police. The reporting party said the female was able to retrieve the keys by biting the reporting party’s hand. The subjects then drove to South San Francisco where they were ultimately stopped by the police.
