Making matters worse
7:37 a.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard.
Tampering with Evidence. A suspect was being transported to jail on a marijuana charge when he slipped his hand restraints to the point that his arms were in front of him. The officer heard him moving excessively and looked back to see what he was doing.
The suspect had removed a small, round, utility cover from the rear of the seat. He was sticking something down the hole and then trying to replace the cover.
Asked what he was doing, the suspect said he was just playing with the cover.
The officer pulled over and called for backup so he could put the suspect’s hand restraints back behind him.
The officer told the suspect he was going to remove the seat to see what he placed there, and the suspect said, “Oh, it’s gone now.”
The officer peered down the hole in the seat, and with use of a flashlight, was able to see a plastic bag and a marijuana cigarette.
While the suspect was taken back to police headquarters, the officer drove the car to the maintenance department and technicians were able to remove the marijuana.
The amount of marijuana was not enough to increase the original charge. The officer told the suspect that if he had given up the marijuana, his charge would have been the same, but now he was going to also be charged with tampering with evidence.

Fenced-in
4:04 p.m. — First Block of Golfview Lane
Animal Bite. The witness said she heard a dog bark for several hours but could not find it. She then looked down between her fence and her neighbor’s fence and saw a Chihuahua pinned in-between. She attempted to get the dog out, but was unsuccessful.
The officers found that a catch pole would not work because of the way the dog was pinned. One of the officers started to dig a hole on the side of the fence.
The owner of the dog appeared and was able to assist in getting the dog out. It was uninjured.
The owner was advised that he would be contacted by an animal control officer. He said he thought the dog was only out for 20 minutes, but the witness said it was several hours.
The owner said he also had a white Chihuahua missing.

Don’t leave your tan behind

Civil Complaint. The officer was called to a hotel on a civil issue. The desk clerk said they had a guest stay overnight who used spray-on tan and go some on furniture in the room.
The officer observed a spot of tan spray on the carpet next to a window. There was also tan spray on several bed sheets.
Advised it was a civil matter, the hotel left a message for the occupant, who had checked out.

Difference of opinion
3:29 p.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard.
Assist Another Agency. The officer was patrolling the department store when a woman ran up to him and said she and her husband own a gun shop. A week ago, she said, an older man stole a $600 scope from them. She had just seen him in the store and her husband was following him.
When the suspect came out of the store, the officer told the couple to stay away while he made contact.
The officer told the suspect he looked like someone who took a scope from a shop in Holly Hill. The suspec said he bought a scope there recently, but maybe he should take it back if they think he stole it.
The officer told him to contact Holly Hill police and speak with them about it. He sent a message to Holly Hill police to advise of the situation.
