July 10 — A Long Beach store employee reported that a homeless male was inside disturbing customers. The employee reported that he asked the male subject three times to leave and he would not. When an officer arrived the employee told him that he wanted the subject trespassed from the store, which the officer did. The subject requested a courtesy transport to Astoria and was provided with one.

Hospital staff reported there was a man with a gun inside the building. Three officers responded. Dispatch told officers en route that the man did not have the gun out, but would not let hospital staff leave the room and had a knife. When officers arrived, ER staff explained that the subject did not turn out to have a firearm but when he went back to have an MRI done, it appeared as if he had one. Staff explained he only had a pocket knife and a pistol magazine on him, with six rounds of .380 ACP ammo. The officer took the knife and magazine for safekeeping. The subject said bringing them was an accident and he would not do it again. Officers issued him a notice the items would be destroyed if not picked up within 30 days.
