Multiple Shoplifts

5:55pm: Units were dispatched to the Wal-Mart for a shoplift that had just occurred at Target. The female suspect was about 30 years old and was observed putting numerous clothing items in a reusable ‘Target’ bag and left the store making no attempt to pay for the items. The loss prevention officer followed her to Marshalls and watched her take two perfume bottles without paying. He identified himself to her and she seemed to cooperate until she took off running across the street toward Wal-Mart. Police stopped her in the parking lot and found over $250 of stolen items in her shopping bag. The video footage from the stores verified her guilt and she was placed under arrest for shoplifting. The woman was also in violation of her house arrest and was dropped off at home.

JUV Shoplift

2:49pm: An officer was dispatched to a report of a shoplift at Target. A juvenile female was detained for trying to shoplift $97.25 worth of clothes and was accompanied by her friend, also a juvenile. The loss prevention officer watched her select clothing items and leave without paying for them. She admitted that she stole the clothes because she needed them for a job interview and did not have any money for them. Her friend said she knew her friend was shoplifting but tried to discourage her from going through with it. The girls’ moms were called and both girls were released to their parents. The girl was cited with theft charges.

Felony Domestic Violence Assault, Resisting Arrest

10:54am: Officers were dispatched to a residence on 209th Ave. Ct. E. for a report of a DV no-contact order violation. The suspect was reportedly at the residence of his wife. It was called in by the woman’s mother, who received a call from her grandson. The girl had seen the man in the house when she came in and he had taken the car keys from the woman and said he wouldn’t let her leave the house. Neither subject would leave. The woman had two no-contact orders on the man and he had a history of third-degree assault. The officers went to the door and after an extended period of time, a juvenile answered the door. The boy said his parents were upstairs. Police entered and then the woman came to the top of the staircase and said that her husband was climbing out the window. Police saw the man running northwest toward the end of the cul-de-sac. The officers caught up with the man and fired a Taser at him, and he yelled his arm was broken. He was cooperative with police but complained that his wife broke his arm and cut his hand with a knife. He also said that he was afraid of her, and she beats him.  However, she had the protective order against him, not the other way around. The man was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup.

His wife told police that he had called her the day before and demanded that she pick him up and take him to the house, which he doesn’t live at. He told her that if she didn’t, she could ‘kiss the kids goodbye.’ She picked him up and brought him to the residence because she was afraid he would kill their children. He stayed the night with no issues. In the morning, the woman’s father came by to pick up the kids for church and saw the man there. Her husband threatened to kill her father if she told him he was there, so he hid. She started making breakfast and he got angry with her because she didn’t make him any. He cornered her in the bathroom and started spitting in her face and shoving the kids around. He threatened to kill them all with something in his pocket that looked like a gun and started spraying her in the face with silly string. At that point, one of her children called his grandmother.

After he was treated for his injuries, the man was booked into Pierce County Jail for violation of his no contact order, assault 3rd degree, unlawful imprisonment, obstructing and resisting arrest.

Assault, Sexual Assault

1:14pm: Officers were dispatched to a fight in progress at the Forrest View Apartment complex on Myers Rd. E. Dispatch said it seemed to be two male and female couples fighting with each other, and there was a small child involved.

Upon arrival, all of the fighting was over and the parties were separated. One of the men was holding his 11-month old son and said that he was dropping off his son with the boy’s mother, who lives there. He said there was a physical fight between her and another woman and during the fight, his son was hit by the other woman. There were fresh scratch marks on the child’s cheek and some blood.  The man said the fight began when the mother approached the other man in the parking lot yelling about something. That’s when the other woman came up and slapped her and the child at the same time. The woman handed the baby to his father and continued to fight.

The man also told police that he had received a call from the woman earlier that day who said that another man had molested her.

When the police contacted the woman, she was hysterical. She said that the woman attached her for no reason and she was having a hard time breathing because she had choked her. She said the incident began because the other man was fondling her when she was alone in her apartment. She had lied down after taking a shower and awoke to find the man standing over her, rubbing his hand over her vagina. She heard a knock on her door from the apartment manager, and that’s when the man left.

Police interviewed the apartment manager who said that he went to her apartment because she told him she wanted to pay her rent, and he knocked on the door and the man had answered it. The woman yelled at the man to ‘get the hell out’ and then he left the apartment. She got dressed and paid her rent, then the apartment manager left. He said the man was fully dressed and acting calm.

Police questioned the man, who said that he went into her apartment to get his laptop chord and the door was open so he walked in. He said the woman was taking a shower when he went inside, and when the landlord came to the door he left. He acknowledged that the woman was naked but denied touching her. The man was detained by police but later released. The other woman was also arrested for assaulting the woman and her baby, and booked for two counts of assault. When questioned, the woman said she got in a fight with the woman because she was trying to protect her man, who was the person accused of the inappropriate touching. She said she “lost it” and slapped her out of anger because the woman was lying.
