Parolee at Large – Suspect Arrested
April 29 at 9:15 a.m., an officer stopped a vehicle at Shamrock and Lime for speeding and running a red light.  A computer check revealed the 43-year-old, male driver was a parolee at large on parole for grand theft auto.  After being issued a citation for the traffic violations, he was arrested and taken into custody.
 
Child Abuse – Suspect Arrested
April 29 at 12:58 p.m., an officer was dispatched to an elementary school in the 200 block of Jasmine regarding a child abuse report.  School staff notified the police after a child reported the abuse to her teacher and said she was afraid to go home.  The 10-year-old girl was whipped and punched several times by her mother, resulting in the child receiving multiple bruises.  Officers investigated and eventually arrested the mother for causing corporal injury to a child.  The Department of Children and Family Services took custody of the child.
 
Violation of Restraining Order – Suspect Arrested
April 30 at 2:54 a.m., a female subject called police reporting her boyfriend was outside her home at the front door.  She claimed to have a valid restraining order against the subject.  Officers located and detained the subject at a gas station at Foothill and Madison.  A computer check revealed the subject had several outstanding warrants.  He was arrested on the warrants, and a report regarding the restraining order will be sent to the District Attorney for filing consideration.
 
Residential Burglary
April 30 at 6:57 p.m., a residential burglary was reported in the 200 block of Madeline.  A real estate agent arrived at the home, which is currently for sale, and noticed the front door ajar; she called police.  Officers responded and checked the house for possible suspect(s), but no one was located inside the home.  The property inside the home had all been moved to the center of the living room, including the refrigerator.  The lockbox was missing and there were no signs of forced entry found.  The investigation is continuing.
 
Resisting and Delaying a Peace Officer / No-Bail Warrant – Suspect Arrested
May 1 at 1:55 p.m., an officer on patrol observed a wanted suspect in the area of Palm and Shamrock.  When the suspect saw the officer, he ran west and into the school yard of Clifton Middle School in the 200 block of South Ivy Avenue; he ran through the school gym.  Responding officers set up containment of the area and advised school staff at Clifton and Tzu Chi Preschool to lock their facilities down.  Clifton students had already gone home for the day.  A search was begun.
 
A resident in the 200 block of East Foothill called and reported a subject matching the suspect description had run into their garage.  Officers responded and checked the residence, but the suspect had fled the garage out a side door and over a wall.  He fled north onto Foothill and out of sight.  The schools were advised to release their lock down once officers were convinced he was out of the area. 
 
The suspect eluded officers for several hours, but at 5:36 p.m., he was located in the area of Jasmine and Palm.  A perimeter was set up and the Foothill Air Support helicopter responded to assist in the search.  After several attempts to evade officers, the suspect finally surrendered and was arrested for the no-bail warrant and for resisting and delaying officers.
