GRAND THEFT AUTO
1600 block of East Silver Star Road. Grand theft. An officer stopped a car speeding at 56 mph in a 45-mph zone around 4:55 a.m. on Clarke Road. The driver said he had no wallet or registration. A friend of the driver arrived and gave the officer the driver’s wallet before leaving. A Washington ID confirmed the driver’s identity.

MAY 18
KEEPS GOING AND GOING AND …
10000 block of West Colonial Drive. Resisting an officer. An officer responded around 2:40 p.m. to a theft from a big-box store, where he met an employee who swore a man took batteries to the deli, concealed them and then left without paying. The employee stopped him and took him to his office. The officer recovered the $6.27 pack of AA batteries and arrested the suspect, who was trespassed from the store. The suspect told officers he was going to run while en route to their car, but they maintained grip of him. He then said he would kick them and tried multiple times before they put him in the back of the car. He kicked the window, so officers put a hobble on his feet. He threatened to kill all officers involved, burn their houses and police station, break their necks, shoot everyone in the station when released from jail and commit various sexual acts on police, families and babies.
… GOING AND GOING
10000 block of West Colonial Drive. Theft.

Officers collected video of the incident and arrested the woman on a $250 bond.
