Yuba County Walmart shoplifting suspect nabbed after rock attack www.privateofficer.com

Yuba County CA May 18 2013 A Marysville woman punched a Walmart security agent in the face before pelting him with numerous rocks on Thursday as she tried to get away with lotions and body spray stuffed in her purse, Yuba County deputies said.
An apparent getaway car abandoned Evalee Havanna Hawkins as she left the store in the 1100 block of North Beale Road just before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, said Undersheriff Jerry Read.
“The loss-prevention officer was taking pictures of the vehicle, and the driver apparently decided he didn’t want any part of what was going on and left,” Read said.
Hawkins then tried to get into another vehicle, which also drove off, leaving her alone with the security guard, who asked the woman to return the lotions.
“Then she punches him in the chin and tries to walk away,” Read said.
Several more guards stepped in as Hawkins began striking the same guard with multiple rocks.
The guard was not seriously injured.
Sheriff’s deputies detained Hawkins, who was booked into the Yuba County Jail on $50,000 bail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and robbery. She was still in custody Thursday.

Washington an gets prison time in assault of court officer www.privateofficer.com

 

Benton County WA May 17 2013 A Kennewick man was sentenced Wednesday to one year and two months in prison for hitting a court security officer who was trying to restrain him after the man was found in contempt for cursing at a judge.
Simeon George Owens, 31, was convicted by a Benton County jury on March 19 of third-degree assault.
On Wednesday, Owens asked Superior Court Judge Vic VanderSchoor if he can remain in the county jail until May 23 while his attorney files a notice of his plan to appeal the conviction and asks for an appeal bond.
VanderSchoor granted the request.
According to Kennewick police and court documents, Owens was in front of Court Commissioner Jerri Potts on Oct. 23 for a child custody issue.
When Potts denied giving Owens custody of his 5-year-old daughter, Owens started cursing at the judge, documents said. Potts said he needed to complete more anger management treatment before he could care for his child, and told Owens not to speak in a profane manner.
Owens continued to be verbally aggressive and reportedly responded: “F— this s—. Either terminate my rights or give me my daughter back.”
Potts said Owens was being held in contempt of court for his behavior, and told court security officer Scott Wright to arrest him. But Owens bolted from the courtroom at the Benton County Justice Center before Wright could reach him, court documents said.
However, he was caught by another security office and Wright before he got outside and during the struggle, Owens started hitting Wright’s face, documents said.
In an interview with Kennewick police after his arrest, Owens admitted to swearing at Potts and trying to leave the courthouse to avoid arrest, court documents said.
Wednesday, he was ordered to have no contact with Wright, and must pay $3,558 for workers compensation to the Department of Labor and Industries in Olympia. The claim is still open, so more restitution may be requested, documents said.
Owens’ criminal history includes convictions for second-degree theft, forgery, third-degree rape and attempting to elude police.
Man pleads guilty to assaulting police officer
A 37-year-old man who became angry when police dropped one of his pennies during a drunken driving arrest, admitted that he tried to headbutt and kick a Kennewick police officer.
Chad Lee Bowen pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of fourth-degree assault for the Dec. 6 incident involving Officer Mario Martinez.
He said he didn’t admit guilt but agreed a jury could convict him so he wanted to accept a plea deal.
After being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, the Kennewick man was searched to make sure he didn’t have any drugs or weapons.
Kennewick Officer Joshua Riley emptied several coins from Bowen’s pocket and one fell to the ground. Bowen then tried to pull away from Riley’s control and told him, “Pick up my (expletive) penny, (expletive),” court documents said.
That’s when Officer Martinez stepped in and told Bowen to relax, trying to assure Bowen that his property would be documented. However, Bowen responded with obscenities and lunged at Martinez with his head, documents said.
Martinez jumped back to avoid being hit in the face. Riley said Bowen also began to kick at Martinez, court documents said.
The officers were able to subdue Bowen and get him into the back seat of Riley’s patrol car.
During the ride to the county jail, Bowen yelled and screamed at Riley that he was going to kick the officer’s butt once he got out of the handcuffs.
“I can’t wait to catch you on the street,” Bowen said, according to documents. “I will hunt you down for doing this.”
Bowen was sentenced Wednesday to 30 days in jail with 334 days suspended, which can be reinstated if he violates any conditions.
He is allowed to do the time on work crew or work release, but must report to jail by May 22.

South Bend shoplifters using pepper spray flee security www.privateofficer.com

 

SOUTH BEND IN May 11 2013  – Police are searching for shoplifters armed with pepper spray after two separate incidents this week in which police say a female shoplifter escaped with stolen goods by dousing a security officer with a chemical spray.

Detectives are still trying to determine whether the two cases are connected. In the first instance, a security guard at Meijer on Portage Road reported that he saw a young woman in a group of three shoplift several items Wednesday afternoon, South Bend Police Sgt. Ian McQueen said.

Augustana College security officer assaulted www.privateofficer.com

Sioux Falls SD April 25 2013 An Augustana College security officer was assaulted on campus recently during a busy week for the college’s security office that included a string of thefts.

The officer has since recovered, but a suspect remains on the loose.
The officer was on a routine check of the underground maintenance tunnels on campus late the night of April 16 when he was hit in the head with an object, possibly a pipe, said Rick Tupper, Augustana Campus Safety director. The tunnels are off limits and no one should have been down there, he said.

The suspect fled and campus security searched all buildings on campus over a four-hour span but didn’t find him, Tupper said. The campus was not put on lockdown, he said.

The injured officer didn’t have a description of the suspect, except that the suspect was a man, Tupper said. The officer was taken to a hospital emergency room and was diagnosed with a concussion, Tupper said. The officer was out from work a few days but returned this week, he said.

A person of interest is also being sought in separate incidents involving possible thefts from faculty offices. The suspect’s photo, taken by an Augie faculty member, matches one taken by Dakota State University surveillance the same day, April 15.

The Madison Police Department is investigating the theft of an undisclosed amount of cash from a DSU instructor’s office, said Detective Sgt. Justin Meyer.

Meyer said campus surveillance caught the suspect going in and out of a faculty office and checking faculty doors to see if they were unlocked. The suspect is described as black, about 5-foot-10 and in his late 20’s, possible early 30’s, Meyer said. In both photos, the suspect is wearing a red baseball style hat, a red pullover jacket with the words “Coyotes” across it, black pants and carrying a black backpack.

For the last two weeks, Augustana had been dealing with reports of missing textbooks from faculty offices, Tupper said. He emailed faculty to lock their offices and be aware of any suspicious activity, he said.

On April 15, a member of the Augustana faculty saw a man leave the office of a faculty member who he knew wasn’t in at the time and followed the man. Tupper said the faculty member confronted the man outside and the man had a backpack full of textbooks.

“He asked what he was doing and the guy became defensive and took off,” Tupper said.

Tupper said that the man was not a student at Augustana. Tupper said he didn’t suspect the man to be involved in the officer assault because he was spotted later that day in Madison.

Tupper said it’s not yet known what or if anything was taken from faculty offices.

“We don’t have an amount right now,” he said. “The challenge is that all the faculty are trying to figure out if they are missing something from their office.”

Meyer said it’s possible that the suspect was seen at the University of Sioux Falls and Southeast Technical Institute in Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls police were called for the assault and theft reports, spokesman Sam Clemens said. Clemens said the department is looking into both reports.

Two other theft reports on the Augustana campus from last week involved $3,000 in electronics taken from two unlocked dorm rooms.

On April 15, a laptop valued at $1,500 was taken from an unlocked dorm room between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in Solberg Hall, Clemens said. Two days later, a $1,200 laptop, $400 in PlayStation video games and $100 in game controllers were reported stolen from an unlocked dorm room around 10:45 a.m., Clemens said.
