Police: Central District Weekend Updates

From Lt. Gloede

The Central District had several major incidents over the weekend.

On 7/27 police responded to the 2300 blk of E. Mifflin St. A woman had her purse forcibly taken. A K9 search was conducted and a suspect was arrested.

On 7/28, Early Friday morning, there was a incident that was similar to the Patterned Robbery/Assaults. A group of 4-6 young males surrounded a man on E. Doty St. and demanded money. The group then punched the man and took his wallet. The suspects fled.

On 7/29 at 12:02am, there was an aggravated assault at the corner of Lake and Langdon. Police arrived and found a victim with a laceration to the neck. He was transported to area hospital. Laceration appears to be result of a fight out side of KK. Suspect at large, few witnesses of incident.

On 7/29 at 1:23am, there was a report of shots fired near the government ramp on Doty St. A vehicle in the ramp was located with a shattered window and evidence of a bullet whole in the vehicle. No victims or suspects located.

At about the same time there was a large disturbance/fight inside the Majestic. Unknown if the two incidents are related. As officers where in the area, additional shots were heard from the top of the ramp. No victims or suspects located.

On 7/30 at 2:16am, a victim arrived at a local hospital with a gun shot wound. Officers determined that the incident took place in the triangle lot in the 100 blk of King St. Evidence found in the lot was consistent with a shooting taking place there. NO calls reference a shooting from anyone in the area.

During the investigation a citizen informed officers that a man had a gun in a car. Officers observed the car and a subsequent stop led to the recovery of a weapon and drugs.

Central District deployed extra resources in response to the patterned attacks. No groups were identified Friday night, however officers did observe suspicious activity by a group on Saturday night. Further analysis will be conducted in the upcoming week.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Capt. Schauf is out of the office next week.
