May 20 — Caller reported a chainsaw and generator stolen from the bed of his silver Ram 2500 pickup sometime on May 20. The pickup bed was full of numerous items, and covered with a cargo net. The caller stayed overnight in a room at the Coastal Inn and Suites and backed the pickup truck up to the window of the room they were staying in. He did not discover the items missing until they departed Long Beach, but stated he and his wife had been with the vehicle since leaving the hotel parking lot. He completed a written statement and provided a receipt for the chainsaw. An officer photographed the vehicle, and contacted Coastal Inn and Suites and they believe their cameras do point in the direction where the caller’s vehicle was parked. They are reviewing video surveillance footage to determine if a suspect can be identified. There’s a request to have the following items entered into the Washington Crime Information Center / National Crime Information Center as stolen articles: a 2025 Stihl Chainsaw with 20-inch blade (approximate value, $500) and a 2025 Generac Generator (approximate value, $1,000).
May 21 — Caller from a storage company reported that a subject, known for trespassing, was in the area, and they were cleaning black paint off their signs. Two officers checked the area, but were unable to locate the subject, and were told he may have gotten on the bus. The officers drove to Long Beach, and found the subject sitting in front of the bakery. He denied painting the signs, and did not have any paint on his hands. The officers were then called back to the storage units because there was an open unit. They arrived, and the storage company representative showed the officers that on the west side, on Unit No. 3, the panel could be pulled back, and entry can be made. The officers checked the inside of the unit; there were no personal items in there, and there was no access to the rest of the building. The storage company is going to secure the building, and add more screws to the doors.

May 23 — Caller reported that her roommate, Whitney B. Rose, had just come home and woke her up by hitting her in the face. Rose then departed on foot. An officer responded to the residence and spoke with the caller and their other roommate. They told the officer that Rose had come home intoxicated. Someone let Rose into the apartment, and Rose went over to the caller, who sleeps in the main entry room of the apartment, and hit her in the face several times. They said the fight lasted about 5 minutes. The caller said she felt pain when she was hit. Both believed Rose would be at her girlfriend’s place at Driftwood RV. The officer called another officer out to assist in contacting Rose. They knocked on the door of Rose’s girlfriend’s RV. She did not want us to go inside, but did state Rose was there. The officers then convinced her to have Rose come out and talk to them. After she was outside, she said that she was the one who was hit in the face. She was placed into custody for fourth-degree assault (domestic violence). She initially statically resisted the officers, but once she was in handcuffs she became compliant. One officer transported her to the office, and the other went back to the apartment to get Rose’s shoes and jacket. While at the department, Rose gave a voluntary portable breath test sample. Her blood alcohol content was 0.320. An officer transported her to Ocean Beach Hospital, where she was medically cleared and then taken to jail. When the officer arrived at the sally port of the jail, Rose acted like she had a medical emergency, and would not respond to the officer or jail staff. The officer requested that aid respond to the jail. While aid was enroute, Rose woke up and was completely fine. The officer had aid canceled, and Rose was booked
without further incident.
