Crime Alert Bulletin for the Week of August 30-September 5, 2021
When I mention “the unit block” of a street, this means the incident occurred at an address anywhere between 1 and 99 of the street.
Notable Cases

The 37-year old reporting party said he was walking back from purchasing cigars from the Chevron station on John Daly Boulevard when he took a short cut home. The reporting party passed by a subject who brandished a 4”-6” knife at him and threatened him. The reporting party described the suspect as a black male adult, 6’, approximately 220 lbs., short black hair, wearing a red hoodie, blue jeans, and black shoes. The subject was gone prior to the officers arriving. This investigation is continued.

On Saturday, 09-04-21 at approximately 9:47 p.m., Officer Tualaulelei was on patrol in the parking lot near Dick’s Sporting Goods when he heard a car repeatedly honk the horn 3-5 times. The officer said the driver stuck his head out the driver’s side window and said something that he could not understand. The officer saw that the vehicle had two front windows that were tinted—which is in violation of the California vehicle code. Officer Tualaulelei conducted a traffic stop and told the subject why he pulled him over. The subject said he was excited that the L.A. Dodgers won the baseball game. The driver and the three of the four passengers were not wearing their seatbelts. Officer Tualaulelei issued the driver, a 24-year old Richmond resident, a citation for driving on a suspended driver's license.

On Sunday, 09-05-21 at 8:35 a.m., Officer Perdomo was dispatched to the unit block of Ward Court on report of a man with a knife. The reporting party told the dispatcher that he saw a Hispanic male with long hair in a ponytail and wearing a blue long sleeve shirt, khaki pants, holding a knife behind his back while pacing back and forth. The reporting party said there was no one around the subject and stayed on the line with the dispatcher until police arrived. Officer Perdomo recognized the subject from numerous contacts in the area. The dispatcher advised the officers that the 45-year old subject was on parole for assault with a deadly weapon and was also the restrained party in a served criminal protective order. The order is for the subject to stay 100 yards away from the area, and from his sister. The subject was placed under arrest for violating a court order and for possession of drug paraphernalia (a glass pipe). The officer booked the knife for safekeeping.
