While working the afternoon shift as a shift supervisor, I had officers sweep our hospital to check for squatters. It was a clear and somewhat cold night in downtown Detroit, and the homeless popoulation are known to enter our hospital and hide for the night.

While checking one of the closed clinics officers came upon 5 people that had not belonged there. After a quick field investigation, the officers let 3 of the suspects go, and returned the other 2 to our station for further investigation.

Upon arrival to the station, identification was received from both parties and a subsequent search of the patient database was completed. One of the suspects handed an officer an identification that came back as being an unregistered person within our patient database. When asked further, it was determined to run the suspect through the LEIN system for a warrant check.

The suspect had an outstanding warrant. Upon hearing the officers discuss these findings, the suspect then shouted out, “Wait a minute that wasn’t me, this is my ID!” as he handed the officer another identication card. Again the suspect was entered into the patient database,

The officers again entered the new information into the LEIN system. Wouldn’t you know it, this time the suspects information came back with several outstanding warrants. With no other ID’s in his pocket, this time the suspect could do nothing but wait with his newly issued trespassing violations until he was transported by the issuing agency to jail.

A 25-year-old Medford man pretending to be a 17-year-old high school student blew his cover last week when he had a beer at a pizza parlor. According to Medford Police Lt. Tim George, Daniel Charles Ray Hanson enrolled himself in South Medford High School’s GED program Jan. 10, allegedly pretending to be a homeless teen down on his luck. When a suspicious teacher spotted Hanson drinking beer at a pizza parlor after a basketball game last week, school officials contacted the School Resource Officer, Lt. Phil Steigleder, about the situation. After an investigation, officers arrested Hanson Friday around 10:15 a.m. at the high school. He was charged with two counts of first degree forgery and two counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument.

Attempts to contact several South Medford High School officials were unsuccessful Friday. Hanson also was charged with a probation violation for first-degree theft and first-degree forgery stemming from an case in Central Point last October. He was released Tuesday on the condition that he has no contact with South Medford High School. An arraignment is scheduled Feb. 6 at 8:55 a.m.

George said the forgery charges stem from the discovery of an application for a social security card filled out with false information and for registering at South Medford High School - creating a public record - using false information. In a probable cause affidavit, Steigleder said Hanson claimed to come from a tragic background. ”

“He had a sad story about how he was homeless,” George said.

During his enrollment, school officials reportedly were helping Hanson to apply for food stamps.

George said they were attempting to provide Hanson with county-funded housing and a school organization was going to donate clothing for him.

Hanson told Medford police he was a transient. Court records show he lives at 687 Ross Lane. Police do not know where Hanson attended school, or the reasoning behind his deception. In addition to the Social Security application and school record, police said Hanson had applied for a Master Card using his real date of birth (Jan. 31, 1975) but using a false Social Security number. George said Hanson had also applied for a birth certificate from King County using the birthdate he gave high school officials (March 25, 1983).

Police are also looking into other documents Hanson had in his possession, including a bank card and Oregon Trail card. Hanson may have tried the same behavior in 1996.

“There’s information that this fellow attempted the same thing at Phoenix High School,” George said.

According to court records, Hanson was placed on two years of supervised probation after he pleaded guilty to charges of first-degree theft and first-degree forgery Jan. 6, 2000.

I’m a Detective in Ogden, Utah. I was in the central part of the city watching the area around a local store where a suspected thief was supposed to be hanging out.

A woman approached my unmarked police car. I assumed she recognized the car and needed some police assistance. The woman went to my passenger door and found it locked. I reached over and unlocked the door and she opened it and immediately sat down. She asked me what I was doing. I told her I was working.

I asked her what she was doing. The woman said she was also working.

I asked her what kind of work she did and she told me that she does what ever I would want her to do. Playing along, I askd her what she did and for how much. She quoted me a couple of prices for different sexual acts.

The woman then asked if I was a cop. Now I was in civilian clothes but my weapon was on my side in plain view and next to it was my badge. Pinned to my shirt was my police ID. I had files on the dash board and a police radio in the console that was on between us. Above the womans head attached to the visor was red and blue lights. I asked her if I looked like a cop and she said that you never know. I then asked her to repeat the offer and she did.

I then told her to look up (at the visor where the red and blue lights were) and I asked her what she thought I was. The woman replied “a freak?”

I then pointed to my badge and ID and said I was a police officer. The woman then told me that she was just kidding and started to get out of my car. I got out and walked over to the passenger side and told her that she was under arrest for solicitation and said I was not kidding.

She spent the next six months in jail.

The fully clothed skeletal remains of a man found in the chimney of a historic Mississippi building last week were those of a bungling burglar missing for more than 15 years, police said on Wednesday.

The remains of Calvin Wilson, 27, were found on Friday by masons renovating a building in the historic part of Natchez, Miss.

Wilson disappeared in 1985. At that time, there was a gift shop in the building, which dates from before the Civil War.

“His criminal record shows he was a burglar, so the suspicion is that he was crawling down the chimney to burglarize thebusiness at that period of time, became lodged and died, “Adams County Sheriff Tommy Ferrell said.

Ferrell, who said police identified the remains from a wallet found with them, speculated that breezes from a nearby river may have kept neighbors from noticing signs that a body was decomposing in the chimney.

“There is no suspicion of foul play,” Ferrell said.

A few years ago a man tried to strong arm rob a major grocery store in the middle of the night. The clerk slammed the cash drawer on his hand and he was badly injured. He ran from there, dropping money as he ran.

The clerk chased him to an apartment complex where the robber gained entry to an apartment. The resident happened to be a high-ranked black belt martial artist. The robber is further injured there and moves on to a third target apartment.

The resident, a dope dealer, had just returned home and placed his semi-auto weapon on top of the tv and was watching his favorite show when his door was kicked in.

Dope dealer shoots unlucky third time loser dead. Better luck in the hereafter.

A high-speed chase through Glynn County ended Wednesday afternoon with the arrest of a Brunswick man whose string of bad luck began with forgetting his car keys and running on foot into the side of a police car.

Dorek Roberson, 19, was charged with robbery after bailing out of his vehicle and fleeing on foot just before 5 p.m. He had allegedly taken cash and a checkbook from a woman’s purse at Pizza Hut on U.S. Highway 341 prior to the chase.

According to Glynn County Police, Roberson was seen by a store employee using the telephone in the manager’s office a short time after placing a take-out order.

He allegedly ran into the parking lot but was pursued by the manager when she noticed her purse had been opened.

Roberson was unable to get away from the manager, however, due to an oversight on his part. He had left his keys on the counter of the restaurant.

When the manager caught up with him and asked if he had robbed her, he allegedly responded by throwing her checkbook and $2 on the ground before retrieving his keys and speeding off.

Restaurant employees called police and gave a description of Roberson, his vehicle and the tag number.

A short time later, a detective in an unmarked car spotted Roberson at Habersham Street and Community Road and notified dispatch.

Roberson, realizing he had been spotted, allegedly sped away toward Hwy. 341.

Officer Lou Baerga clocked Roberson on radar at 77 mph heading south on Hwy. 341 and attempted to stop him, but Roberson accelerated and got away.

Police said Roberson was driving 80 mph in the turn lane from Ninth Street to G Street where he finally turned and headed east, running a red light and stop sign.

He continued fleeing police officers until he reached Norwich Street Lane, where he jumped out of the car while it was still moving and fled on foot across Albany Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Baerga, who had driven to Stonewall Street, was watching for Roberson when the suspect ran out from between two houses and in to the driver’s side of Baerga’s patrol car, breaking the mirror. He was finally captured in a back yard.

Police charged him with burglary, fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer, obstruction of an officer and a probation violation. He is being held at the Glynn County Detention Center without bond.

Although originally reported as an armed robbery, police later learned no weapons were used during the robbery.
