Significant Incidents:
Aggravated
Assault Virginia Av/Park Dr
On June 22 police responded to a call regarding a fight. On arrival, the victim reported that he had
been assaulted the day prior near the intersection of Virginia Ave and Park
Dr. The victim reported that an unknown
male struck him in the back of the head with a skateboard around 6:05 PM on
June 21. The victim further reported
that he had to receive treatment at a hospital and received six staples, though
officers were unable to observe the injury.
Officers inquired why the victim did not call the police immediately
when the incident happened. The victim
reported that he did call 911 while driving away from the scene but did not
stay to meet police. The victim further
advised that his girlfriend tried to independently make a report later that
evening but the report could not be taken without the victim present.
The victim reported that he was driving on Virginia Ave near Park Dr
when he came upon a large group of people on skateboards blocking the roadway. The victim said he drove around the group
which apparently upset one of the males in the group, who then hit the victim’s
car window with a skateboard. The victim
reported that he stopped his car, though it had not suffered any damage. When he got out of his vehicle, he was hit in
the back of the head with a skateboard by an unknown male.
The victim advised that he had video footage of the incident that
he found on an Instagram account, though it was not clear how this was
located. The victim told officers that
the video had since been deleted, but he had saved it on his cellphone and he
played it for officers.
The video starts with a large crowd of people that did not appear
to be in a roadway. The video then skips as if something was cut or missing
from it and shows the victim standing outside his vehicle by the driver side
door, facing a group of white males. The
victim appeared to be engaged in a verbal dispute with the males, but there is
no audio. The victim reported that he
was initially kicked in his genital area by one of the males, but there were
several people blocking the view so it was impossible to see this on the
video. The video then shows the victim
punching in the air towards one of the males, apparently in response to the
kick. One of the males with a skateboard
then lunges at the victim but does not make physical contact. The victim is then seen charging at another
male, after which he is struck in the back of the head by a skateboard wielded
by a white male in a light-colored shirt.
The victim appears to grab a skateboard from the ground and walk back
toward his vehicle, at which point the video ends.
The video did not show the start of the incident before the victim
exited his vehicle to confront the crowd of males with skateboards, and the
victim could not explain the missing parts of the video so it was difficult to
understand what transpired in the missing footage.
The responding officer contacted Zone 6 investigators who advised
the victim that he should visit the Zone 6 precinct to make a statement and
complete an information report. The
officer also asked dispatch to check 911 call logs for the time the incident
occurred. Dispatch found a pedestrian
struck by vehicle call and two calls for gun shots in the area. Police asked the victim if he owned a gun,
which the victim confirmed and acknowledged he had a carry permit and had the
gun with him the day of the incident.
The victim then admitted that he "brandished" the gun but did
not fire it. The victim was asked why he
omitted this information, which he blamed on being “foggy” from the staples in
his head. The victim then became
increasingly uncooperative and refused to answer any further questions. After further attempt at conversation, the victim
became verbally combative and told me to leave.
Commercial
Burglary 752 Highland Av
On July 23, at approximately
6:13 AM, police responded to a commercial burglary call from an employee of
Neighbor’s bar. The employee had arrived
at the business around 6:00 AM and discovered that the left glass door was
broken out of the north facing building at the corner of St Charles Ave NE and
N Highland Ave NE. Two security cameras
captured footage of two figures approaching the bar between 4:00 am and 4:12
am. The camera showed a possible light skinned black male enter the business
and make his way around the bar. The suspect was dressed in a black or dark
button front short sleeved shirt and short pants, and had a full short
Afro-styled haircut and a “five o’clock shadow” facial hair.
The suspected entered the
business carrying a paper shopping bag that he set down after pulling a bottle
of alcohol from the top shelf. The
suspect passed multiple bottles of wine and spirits to his partner, suspect #2
- a skinny white or even lighter skinned male also with a shopping bag. The
second suspect appeared to have on a white tee shirt with a long-sleeved shirt
tied about his waist and a light-colored ball cap.
The reporting employee
stated that approximately six bottles were stolen that retailed for $300
dollars in loss. The video of the
incident was shared with Zone 6 investigators.
No suspects at this time.
If you see someone or something suspicious,
please report it to the police. When
driving or out walking keep an eye out in the neighborhood, what you see and
report just might prevent a crime.
Reminder: All members call 911 first if you see a crime
in progress or a suspicious person or activity, and then call the Virginia
Highland Security Patrol Phone. The
phone number is 770-310-0871.
