I wish the police report was full of things like that “receiving stolen property” thing. And needing to take a restraining order out against a transient? That sounds unfun. Full police report after the jump.

This week’s police report comes with a back-to-school reminder from the South Pasadena Police Department: “With school starting next week, we would like to remind parents not to double park when dropping off and picking up your children. This is illegal and dangerous!  Officers will be out the first weeks of school issuing citations to [...]

Officers pull over to talk to some suspicious guys sitting in a car, and someone else pulls up and says, “Hey! That’s my car!” Beautiful. But hands down, the chilling rug store robbery is the crime of the week. Full police report after the jump.

Anyone else kind of freaked out to notice how many people are getting pulled over for fake registration tabs? One person wouldn’t surprise me, but this seems like a burgeoning cottage industry. Full police report after the jump.

An Alhambra man has been arrested in connection with a South Pasadena hot prowl. Police say fingerprints found at the scene match those of the suspect, a parolee. Also, SPPD is looking for a guy with a stupid shirt. There’s a link to the pdf in the police report, after the jump. Oh, one last [...]

There was also that big chase/crash on Orange Grove last week. According to the Star-News, the car landed on the roof of a house. The driver, who [...]

Some weeks the police report is, you know, ho hum. This week makes up for it. A few things worth mentioning before you make the jump:

Two guys break into the middle school, tear the place to pieces … and then pass out on the soccer field.
The sobriety checkpoint netted three DUI arrests, and then 15 [...]

Sorry for the big lag. Don’t get me wrong, Ireland was fun. But going back and cobbling together the past few weeks of police reports? Not so much fun. My favorite is the kid who saw the “Road Closed” sign on the 110 on-ramp, and took it as more of a suggestion. Very full report [...]

Grover’s Corners had Simon Stimson, Mayberry had Otis Campbell, and South Pas has a rotating cast of wandering inebriates. Full report after the jump.

Prepare to be shocked: People were lighting fireworks in South Pas last week. The full (but brief) police report after the jump.
