Thieves caught in the act try to return television to owner in exchange for no police | SUMNER POLICE BLOTTER

AN ODDLY CIVIL HOME INVASION: On May 9 at 9:48 p.m. officers received a call that a resident came home and discovered a truck that she didn’t recognize  sitting in her driveway.  The truck was

occupied by a female and her male companion was in her home. The victim saw that the subjects had already loaded up her television.  The victim told them that she was going to call the police.  The male suspect then unloaded her television from his truck and delivered it back to her home, put it back near the entertainment center and asked her not to call the police. The suspects returned a little while later and had another

conversation with the victim, but by the time police arrived the suspects had again left

the home. During an area check for the vehicle an officer located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. Both suspects were arrested and one was booked into Pierce County Jail for burglary.

 

CONSTRUCTION SITE THEFT: On May 12 at approximately 1:05 a.m. officers were dispatched to the 1500 block

of Willow St where a citizen reported seeing two subjects walking into a construction area and maybe opening up tool boxes. Officers parked nearby and entered the area on foot. Officers heard people talking and moved toward the sound of the voices and located two suspects. One of the two suspects had with him a roll of wire which

belonged on the premises. Both were booked into Puyallup Jail for trespassing and one

with an additional charge of theft in the third degree.

 

DISORDERLY CONDUCT: On May 14 at approximately 12:39 a.m. an officer was on routine patrol when he observed a male subject stumbling out of a residential yard on Elm Street. The yard had no walkway but had many trees and flowers. The suspect stumbled out into the street and

the officer asked him to get out of the street. The suspect asked the officer why he was

harassing him and that “his brother” had not been drinking. The officer told the suspect

to get out of the roadway for his safety and to sit on his car. The suspect began clenching his fists and yelling in an agitated manner and continued to walk around into both lanes of traffic. The suspect was finally placed into the back of the officer’s car and prepared to be transported to jail. While en route the suspect banged his head on the partition in the officer’s car; at the jail the suspect refused to comply with booking

procedures. The suspect was eventually booked for minor in consumption, disorderly conduct, and trespassing.
