The information contained in my blog is derived from notes provided by MPD Officers-In-Charge (OIC) at the end of their shifts. Most narratives represent early and preliminary information that was gathered by an OIC from those in the field who were actively working cases. The OIC is sharing what they were being told, in the moment. In many instances, facts and circumstances, even the type of crime listed, can change as officers, detectives and investigators continue their work.
From 6:00 a.m. on 3/3/2019 through 6:00 a.m. on 3/4/2019, MPD received 304 calls for service. This number does not include parking complaints or 911 misdials. For purposes of clarification, the following abbreviations are short-hand for race designations: W=White, AA=African American, NA=Native American, H=Hispanic, ME=Middle Eastern, A=Asian, MR=Mixed Race, U=Unknown. MPD shifts are staggered as follows: 1st detail=7 a.m. to 3 p.m., 2nd detail=12 p.m. to 8 p.m., 3rd detail=3 p.m. to 11 p.m., 4th detail=8 p.m. to 4 a.m., 5th detail=11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
To further break down the 304 calls for service for the past 24-hours, this is how the calls came in per district: Central (54), East (66), Midtown (44), North (47), South (26), West (44), and Other (23). Other=these are calls for service that either do not have a sector listed or the sector is not in the City. For example, if one of our officers assists another law enforcement agency, their sector is not listed in our districts so therefore it is listed under "other".
1) MIDTOWN: Domestic Disturbance - 3:21 a.m. Officers responded to College Ct for a domestic disturbance involving a knife. The victim (24-year-old WM) and the suspect (23-year-old AAF) had been drinking and both returned to the victim's apartment where an argument began. The argument subsequently got physical and involved knife throwing. The suspect was arrested and taken to jail and charged with a number of domestic violence offenses. Investigation continuing. *This was a late call that did not make the previous 24-hour cycle call notes due to officers being involved at the scene and reports from the field were not yet typed.
2) EAST: Check Person - 7:15 a.m. Officers responded to the 1700 block of Thierer Rd to meet with two vctims (AAFs) who said that two AAMs had taken their cell phones.
