Officers were dispatched to Catcay Drive to investigate a theft. Upon arrival they contacted a witness who observed a white SUV driving slowly down the street.

A traffic stop was initiated. The Driver Leonard Simmons 10-28-70 had a suspended license and was arrested for that charge. The passenger Gary Lawrence was arrested on an outstanding municipal court warrant.

CCPD Officer to officiate at tonight’s Monday Night Football game

CCPD’s own Officer Marc Harrod will be among those officiating tonight’s NFL Monday Night Football. The match will be a contest between Dallas and Oakland. Many may know Marc Harrod as “Officer Marc” who frequently broadcasts morning traffic reports on local radio.

Officer Harrod is an experienced referee at the college level and has recently been trained to officiate in the NFL. This temporary opportunity for Officer Harrod is as a result of the current labor dispute between the professional league and the NFL referees.

Suspects arrested in connection with an aggravated robbery

August 2, 2012 Aggravated Robbery 4100 Shaw 1208060186

On August 2nd at 6:31pm, CCPD responded to 4100 Shaw for an assault not in progress call. The officer assigned the call made contact with Edward Perez 7-16-53. It was Edward’s room mate who had called police on his behalf. The officer noted that Edward may have been intoxicated refused medical treatment and was declining to make a report at the time.

On August 3rd CCFD Medic 10 and police responded to a call at 4100 Stafford for a man down. An unconscious but breathing subject (later identified as Edward Perez) was located sitting in a lawn chair. There were no visible injuries observed and he was transported to Sphon Shoreline.

On August 6th at approximately 9:00pm CCPD was requested at Sphon Shoreline for an assault not in progress. The responding officer learned that Edward Perez was unresponsive. The officer learned from an individual at the hospital that Edward’s roommate told him that there had been an altercation over an amount of money that may have been owed on August 2nd. Edward may have been knocked unconscious.

Further investigation revealed that Edward’s roommate owed money to some individuals who came to collect on August 2nd. One of the individuals struck Edward, possibly with an object and Edward fell to the ground unconscious. Once unconscious, the suspects searched his body taking his money. The three individuals then left. The Criminal Investigative Division began to investigate the case as an aggravated robbery.

On August 7th Edward Perez died in the hospital.

Warrants were obtained for two of the suspects and on August 9th CCPD arrested one of the suspects Gabriel Grande 2-24-93 at his home on Yale Street. Alfonso Garcia 8-20-59 was observed on the sidewalk on Yale Street and arrested without incident. The third suspect has been identified and the issuance of a warrant is pending.
