Sheriff's Report
The following incidents were culled from reports filed by deputies at the sheriff's Westside Substation.
Hungry and resisting--Jan. 18, 9:15 a.m., Seven Springs Fire Station, 21000 Seven Springs Parkway. A man walked into the fire station saying he was wet and hungry. Firefighters, concerned that the man appeared mentally unstable, called the Sheriff's Department. When deputies arrived, the man put his hands in his jacket, and the deputies, unsure whether he had a weapon, patted him down. The man became agitated and threatened one of the deputies with a closed fist, then resisted when the deputies tried to restrain him. He was booked into Santa Clara County Jail for assault on a peace officer and resisting a peace officer.
Attempted burglary--Jan. 20, 11:15 p.m., 7900 block of Woodlark Way. A woman returned home to find her bathroom window pried open, the screen torn and the doghouse moved, but there was no entry made and no property taken.
No sale--Jan. 21, 12:30 p.m. Suspect tried to sell two cars that had been leased from an auto credit corporation. The suspect told a Cupertino man and a San Jose man that he would give them title to the cars when they made payment with a cashier's check. The suspect was arrested for theft by false pretense and sale of property covered by a security agreement.
Car burglary--Jan. 22, 4 a.m., 21200 block of Homestead Road. Someone broke into a Ford Expedition by smashing a window, then tried to remove the stereo. The suspect succeeded in taking a cellphone and some compact discs. Two other cars, parked in the same apartment complex lot, were also hit. A compact disc player was swiped from a Honda and a laptop computer, VCR and amplifier were pilfered from a Humvee.
Residential burglary--Jan. 22, 9:45 p.m., 6600 block of John Drive. A family returned from dinner to find their front and back doors wide open. Jewelry, $100 cash and $120 in foreign currency were missing.
False this, false that--Jan. 24, 12:59 a.m., Highway 85 at Stevens Creek Boulevard. After stopping a man in a Lincoln for running a red light on Stevens Creek Boulevard, the deputy who stopped the car found it had 2000 tabs with an expired registration. The name the driver gave was also false. The driver said he lied about his name because he was wanted on an $8,000 warrant. Deputies also found more than 15 grams of marijuana in the car. Deputies arrested the driver for providing false information, using false tabs and possession of a controlled substance.
Commercial Burglary--Jan. 24, 10:40 a.m., Samrat Indian Restaurant, 20965 Homestead Road. The restaurant's owner showed up for work in the morning and found a door pried open. Inside, the cash register had been emptied of $800 and a cellphone, gold bracelet and Indian passport also were missing.
Institutional Burglary--Jan. 24, 3:30 p.m., Kennedy Junior High School, 821 Bubb Road. Someone entered the locked school office, then another locked office inside, leaving no signs of forced entry. Inside, suspects pried open a locked key box mounted on a wall and took a master key. Nothing else was taken.
Stolen Car--Jan. 24, 6:15 p.m., De Anza College. A San Jose man left his Ford Mustang in Lot B at the college and came back after class to find it gone. Campus security checked all the lots at the school but couldn't find the car. Two sets of golf clubs, valued at $2,000 each, were in the trunk of the car.
Grand theft--Jan. 25, 11 p.m., 10400 block of S. De Anza Blvd.: A man who left $450,000 with a San Jose woman while he was out of the country for two years feared that she was out of the country now--with his money. The man had made arrangements with the woman to get the money back upon his return in November, but got suspicious after he couldn't get in touch with her for two weeks, and called the Sheriff's Department.
