April 14 — While on patrol in the area, an officer saw a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He ran the plate of a 1999 tan Buick, and made contact with the driver, who was asleep in the driver’s seat. The officer woke him up, and he appeared to be fine. The driver was advised that he could not camp in the parking lot of the church, and to move along.

While on patrol, an officer saw a suspicious person near the back of the Dennis Company van parked in the lot across the street from the store. The officer made contact with a female subject, who had a couple pieces of luggage. She stated she was just moving her things over to the 24-hour mart, but she was having to shuffle because she had so many bags. The officer asked her where she was trying to go, and she said Bellingham. She stated she did not have the money for the $50 ticket. The officer gave her the number for someone at Recovery Navigator, in hopes they could help her tomorrow. He also provided her with a McDonald’s gift card. She made her way toward the Supermart and the officer cleared.

Caller reported she was being scammed. She said she sent $1,500 to a fake account that was using a professional wrestler’s name. An officer told her to no longer send money to people she did not know, and suggested she freeze or cancel her PayPal account, as that is how the money was sent. He also provided her with this log number if she needed to give one to PayPal.

April 15 — Dispatch reported a 911 open line. A child was saying hello, and then the line disconnected. An officer contacted the staff, and spoke to the little girl who called from the Early Learning Center. Everything was OK. The officer cleared.

Caller reported the theft of two brass/copper salmon gurdies (winches used to haul salmon gear up) that occurred in the last two to three days. He stated he was storing them in a friend’s backyard, where you have to go through a gate to enter. The friend is out of town at the moment. The caller believes the thief will turn them in for money at the scrap yard, since they are very heavy and are copper-plated brass. An officer provided him with the phone numbers for Astoria Auto Wrecking and Recycling, as well as Ron’s Recycling.

A welfare check was requested at McDonald’s. An employee stated that there was a female subject under the influence of something in the yellow tube in the children’s play area for the last 1.5 hours. An officer arrived, and she was crawling through the tubes. He told her she needed to get down and get out. She did. Her mom was waiting for her, and the officer believes she will be going to rehab, since she made a statement to her mom about it as he was leaving.

April 16 — Caller reported a shoplifter who was a Hispanic male with face tattoos. The caller stated he came into the store, took beers, then left headed toward the stop light. An officer responded and made contact. The suspect trespassed from the store and poured out the beer.

Caller called 911 to report that a male subject tore apart her house after she just cleaned it. She also complained that he yelled at her, and spit in her face. Two officers responded, but the subject had departed prior to their arrival. The caller appeared to be intoxicated and complained about the subject making a mess in the house. The house appeared to be in about the same condition as when one of the officers recently responded for an unrelated disturbance on April 12. The caller was advised again to contact the court to have the subject evicted, or served with a domestic violence no contact order or an anti-harassment order. She was also advised that the Long Beach Police Department would not be taking any type of enforcement action for the male subject not picking up after himself. When an officer asked if she had been assaulted, she showed him a wound with dried blood on the top of her left hand. The wound appeared to be in a late state of healing. She indicated it was from a couple of days ago, when she was pushing a rolling kitchen table and the subject made contact with her hand. She did not report any type of assault that occurred today.

April 18 — A female victim entered the lobby at the Long Beach Police Department and reported that her ex-boyfriend strangled and bit her at her residence during the morning on April 13. She said she currently has an Oregon no contact order in place, which had been served prior to the assault. She reported that the ex-boyfriend currently lives in Hammond, Oregon, near Buoy 9. She was in contact with a domestic violence advocate by phone while she was reporting. She did not have any visible signs of injury, but stated she recorded the incident on her cell phone. She made a written statement, and told an officer she would forward the recording to his LBPD cell phone. The officer was unable to locate an order in the Washington Crime Information Center or the National Crime Information Center. She was given a Domestic Violence Resource Packet. A report with charging consideration is to be submitted to the Pacific County Prosecutor’s Office. As of April 19, she has not submitted the recording, or provided any witness information; report pending.

April 19 — An inn manager called in that a disorderly intoxicated male and female were upset about pillows. The manager originally wanted them to leave, but after talking to her for a bit she said they could stay till the morning. An officer went to contact the subject, and he immediately started yelling at the officer, and had his camera out. He said they were leaving. The officer tried to tell him that the manager said they could stay till the morning because they both had been drinking. He continued to be extremely confrontational, and said he was drunk, but his significant other was sober. She also said she was sober, and that they were leaving. The officer cleared as they were carrying stuff to the parking lot, and told the manager to call back if she had any more problems.

April 20 — Caller reported that someone was unconscious in the driver’s seat of a gold Yukon with a Washington plate parked at the Supermart. An officer made contact with the driver. The driver appeared to be OK, and denied medical treatment. Another call was pending, so the officer cleared and left.
