One was knocked out and the other also had a laceration on his leg. In two arrests, the suspects strangled the victims. In one arrest, a patient punched a nurse. In another arrest, the suspect punched and strangled the victim and a second suspect punched her.
  • Three auto thefts reported over the two weeks. One was an older Nissan truck. The other two were older Hondas. One was involved in an accident before the victim knew it was stolen.
  • Three robberies reported with arrest in two cases. In one case, two suspects punched and pushed the victim to the ground while stealing his backpack. In an arrest, the suspect knocked product off shelves and then assaulted the employee while being escorted out and stealing a Gatorade in the process. In the other arrest, the suspect displayed a gun at a business while demanding money. Video footage showed him casing the business and returning in different clothing for the robbery. After identifying the suspect, officers obtained search warrants and recovered the firearm, and the clothing used before and during the robbery.
  • One rape reported that is an open investigation. The victim knew the suspect.
  • Three residential burglaries report over the two weeks. Officers arrested one suspect for violation of no contact order. Charges were referred in another case after someone broke into a vacant apartment. The neighbors denied breaking the door but admitted to having property that was left in the apartment. In the last case, tools and the front door were stolen from a house under construction.
