today I feel like a cop..so I COPied these incident reports from the Santa Barbara Police Officers Association....look at all the DUIs from people with homes!! and the report of a couple of homeless guys who helped catch a felony vandalism suspect! or a Brooks squatter!On 11/6 at 4:00 p.m., Officer Ortega handled a minor injury traffic accident on Anapamu at Anacapa Street. Joshua Levi Bradbury, age 38, had been driving westbound in his 2001 Chevy Silverado pickup when he rear-ended another vehicle. Bradbury put partial blame on an unsecured Chihuahua-mix dog riding in his lap. Officer Ortega placed primary blame on Bradbury driving while under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested for DUI.
On 11/25 at 5:00 p.m., a citizen at Arroyo Burro Beach saw a man stumbling in the parking lot while holding a beer. The man got into a Toyota 4-Runner and drove away, driving over a curb in the process. The citizen called 911 and followed the driver to Solano Court, where he parked and went into a residence. Officer T. Johnson arrived, contacted the citizen, then went to the residence and contacted the driver, William Churchill Smith, age 52. Smith displayed symptoms of alcohol consumption and was arrested for DUI.
On 11/28 at 2:00 a.m., a citizen called 911 to report a possible DUI driver in a black Mercedes traveling up Garden from Haley Street. As a BOL was being issued, Officer Cipres saw the Mercedes C30 weaving its way up 900 Garden Street and cross over the center line. Officer Cipres stopped the vehicle. The driver, Chamil Niroshan Hettiarachchi, age 32 was arrested for DUI.
On 11/28 at 12:45 a.m., Officer Beutel, who works DUI enforcement, saw a black 2009 Mini Cooper driving eastbound from 1st E. Ortega Street at high speed. The Mini bottomed out at Anacapa Street, and continued eastbound. At Garden Street, the Mini ran the stop sign at approximately 30 mph, bottomed out again, and abruptly stopped in the middle of the street with the horn blaring. The driver, Jocelyn Harris Smith, age 23, got out and walked to the sidewalk. Officer Beutel stopped Smith and determined that the second bottoming-out was severe enough to deploy the driver?s side airbag. Smith was arrested for DUI.
On 11/21 at 8:00 a.m., a City Parks employee discovered two large concrete planters tipped over and broken at Chase Palm Park, 323 E. Cabrillo Blvd. The estimated loss for the pair was $1,500. Officer Larson investigated: He contacted a group of homeless people who frequently camp behind the structure. Two of them witnessed the vandalism: Just after daybreak, a man who appeared "angry" walked through the area, tipping over numerous trashcans. Shortly thereafter, Officer Larson detained James Derek Tabor, age 39, who matched the suspect description and was walking in the immediate area. The two witnesses made a positive identification. Tabor was booked for felony vandalism.
On 11/21 at 7:30 p.m., Officer Lazarus handled a disturbance at a residence in the 2100 block of Red Rose Lane. A neighbor reported frequent disturbances at the residence. Police determined that Kellie Lynn Villa, age 31, had struck a male in the head with a vodka bottle. She was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
On 11/12/09 at 10:20 a.m., Officer Little responded to the Brooks Photography campus at 801 Alston Road on a call of suspicious circumstances. A week before, employees discovered a room dead-bolted with a lock that did not belong to the school. They forced entry and discovered evidence of someone living in the room: Clothing, hygiene products, damp washcloths, and other personal items. Today, they found a room normally unlocked that was dead-bolted from the inside. They heard noises, but no one would answer or open the door. When Officer Little arrived, employees forcibly removed the lock and out came the suspect: Michael Othello Shirley, age 40. Shirley said he has been secretly living at the school for 3 weeks. He was arrested for vandalism and trespass.
stay safe this holiday season and drive defensively...everyone is armed and dangerous!
