Double DUIs: Two suspects crashed into one another on 148th Avenue Southeast, causing significant damage to their cars, but no injuries. Both had been drinking alcohol and were arrested for DUI.

ID eruption: The suspect went into the BelMar Marijuana store to buy marijuana with a fake ID. When the store realized his identification was fake, they kept it. The suspect was upset that the store would not give the ID back because he needed the fake ID to work in the U.S. The suspect then took the store keys to use as leverage, and store employees called 911. Officers arrested the suspect for using the fake ID and was trespassed from the store.

Caught with coke: An officer on the 108th Street and Northeast 8th Street was informed by a citizen that a male just tried to sell him cocaine. The officer remembered seeing the described male walking on Northeast 8th Street and went back to look for him. She found him and after the suspect lied about his date of birth, the officer learned he had several warrants out for his arrest. The suspect denied selling cocaine, but a baggy of cocaine was found on the sidewalk right next to where he was located.
