Police Blotter
Aggravated Assault with Weapon: Nov. 16, 4:26 p.m., intersection
of Balboa Street and Arguello Boulevard
A 50-year-old man was stopped in his car at a stop sign
at Third Avenue and Balboa Street when he honked at a car
that drove through a stop sign - almost causing an accident.
The man who beeped the horn kept driving eastbound on Balboa
and pulled up alongside the other vehicle at Arguello Boulevard.
All of a sudden, the suspect veered in front of the victim's
car, blocking his path.
The suspect got out of his car wielding a crowbar and approached
the victim, who put his car in reverse and sped backwards,
turning onto Second Avenue. He saw the suspect turning his
car around and following him as he drove in reverse.
The victim tried to turn around in a driveway but lost
control of his vehicle and crashed into a telephone pole.
The suspect, described as in his early 20s, stopped in front
of the victim before speeding off southbound towards Fulton
Street.
Police arrived to find the victim shaken-up but uninjured.
The suspect was not found.

Boulevard
Police were alerted to a bar regarding a highly intoxicated
suspect who had fondled a woman and threatened patrons.
As two officers entered the bar, they heard the suspect
yell, "f___ you, mother f______!" The bartender
pointed at the suspect, who was about six-feet-two-inches
tall and weighed about 200 pounds, as the man causing the
problems.
The police officers told the suspect they wanted to speak
with him outside the bar, to which the suspect replied,
"f___ you!" The police officers grabbed the 30-year-old
suspect by the arms to take him outside but the suspect
broke their hold and attempted to hit one of the officers
with a backhand motion.
The officers performed a leg sweep take-down of the suspect
and requested backup. After three minutes of struggling
with the suspect, in which the suspect threatened to kill
one of the officers, the two officers were able to secure
him in handcuffs. It took seven officers to fully restrain
the suspect and place him in an ambulance that was going
to take him to a hospital to deal with a cut he received
in the struggle. The suspect threatened to beat up the paramedics,
too, and spat at everyone around him.
At the hospital, after sobering up, the suspect told police
he attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and had been sober
for eight months. The suspect remained in the hospital and
was given a notice to appear in court.
Battery: Oct. 2, 3:38 p.m., Intersection of Presidio
Avenue and Sacramento Street
A 35-year-old man pulled his car into a parking place
with his wife and infant daughter. When a place opened up
in front of them, they started to pull forward, only to
be cut off by a black Mercedes Benz that made a U-turn to
get the space. The man made a hand gesture to the driver
of the car, a 35-year-old woman.
Both drivers got out of their cars and started arguing.
The man got back into his car and moved back to his original
spot. When he got out of the car, the suspect continued
to yell at him. She then pushed him and hit him in the nose.
"Stop hitting my husband," the victim's wife
yelled.
The suspect continued to hit, scratch and push the victim.
Witnesses tried to restrain the woman, who pushed the victim's
wife several times as well.
Police arrived and broke up the fight. The victim suffered
numerous cuts to his neck and could not move his right thumb.
When officers tried to interview the suspect, she yelled
at the interviewing officer, "I pay your taxes and
you work for me," and, "I don't like your attitude,
I'm calling your supervisor."
A computer check determined the suspect had no record on
file and she was given a notice to appear in court.
