3200 block of Chillum Road: At about 1:45 am officers responded to the 7-11 store for a disorderly subject who refused to leave the store. When the officers arrived they confronted the man who continued his disorderly behavior and his refusal to leave. He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

4500 block of 29th Street: At about 2:15 am officers took two reports of thefts from auto. The first victim/owner told the officers that he heard the sound of his car alarm and ran out of his apartment to investigate. When he got outside he saw a grey colored mini van speeding away. When he inspected his car he discovered that his front passenger side window had been broken out and his portable GPS system had been stolen. He also noticed that possibly the same suspects stole all four wheels off one of his neighbors’ vehicle. He contacted her and had her speak with the officers. She said that she heard the car alarm and a dog barking but though nothing of it until her neighbor told her about her wheels being stolen. The officers processed both vehicles and searched the area for witnesses and the gray mini van with negative results.
