away.  When the driver tried to turn onto Leon St., he lost control and struck a fence of a house on the corner.  Four males ran from the car.  Officer Xiong chased the driver on foot.  When Officer Xiong tackled the driver, he noted the driver dropped a gun (later determined to be a BB gun).  The suspect struggled and broke free.  The officer tackled the driver a second time.  During this struggle, the officer was struck in the face and had his face pushed into the ground.  The driver broke free again and was tackled a 3rd time by the officer.  As the driver continued to fight with the officer, a second officer (Sgt. Bitterman) arrived and the driver was eventually handcuffed. The driver was identified as Sir Ryan Laird, 23 yrs old, 802 Vernon Av.  He was charged with Operating a Stolen Auto, Eluding police, Battery to

a Police Officer, Resisting Arrest, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, and several traffic offenses.  Two passengers were located in the area and taken into custody.  Both were juvenile males, ages 14 and 15.  Great job by Officer Xiong, Sergeant Bitterman and all of the assisting officers.

On 10/31, 3:30am, Officer McHugh saw a group of juveniles with 2 mopeds in the Webb/Darbo area.  When he attempted to contact the juveniles, they ran.  He was able to located one of them hiding near by.  The 16 year old juvenile eventually admitted to stealing one of the mopeds and identified the other 2 juveniles with him.  Both of the mopeds had just been stolen (one from downtown and one from Union St) and had not yet been reported to the police.  Great work Officer McHugh.

 

That's all for now.  Be careful.  Be safe.
