Police Report
Spouse Beating--Oct. 11, 9:25 p.m. A man called police and said his wife had bit him on the hand, but his wife said he had hit her. There were no weapons or alcohol involved. Police went to their Monterey Avenue home. The man was very calm and said there was no need for medical attention. He told police that he had asked his wife to leave him alone and she was upset. Both were arrested for spouse beating.
Trespassing--Oct. 12, 11:02 p.m. At Novitiate Park, there were three men and one woman spreading a sort of powder on the grounds. When they were asked what they were doing, one of the men replied that the powder was his dog's ashes. Once they were told that the police were called, they fled on foot. No report was filed.
Found Person--Oct. 14, 6:27 a.m. At the gas station on Los Gatos Boulevard, an elderly man was wandering around and seemed confused. He didn't know where he lived, but gave his phone number and the name of his wife or girlfriend. Police determined that the man was not a patient of Emmanuel Convalescent Hospital. He was returned home.
Missing Children--Oct. 14, 10:07 a.m. A Via de Tesoros resident reported two children missing. The two boys had gone out to ride their bikes earlier in the morning and were told to be back before the parents of one of them came to pick him up at 9:15 a.m. The caller said that it was unusual for the boys to be gone so long. Police checked the area around La Rinconada Park but could not locate the boys. A neighbor said they had seen the boys earlier and told them to go home. The children were found near Old Adobe Way and Mistletoe Road. Advice was given.
Juvenile Disturbance--Oct. 15, 1:24 p.m. At Los Gatos Boulevard and Blossom Hill Road, the passenger of one car was seen firing a cap gun or some weapon like it into another car. Police confronted the passenger and discovered that cap guns were being used. Officers told the occupants of the vehicle to use some common sense.
Beating--Oct. 16, 10:10 a.m. On Carlton Avenue, a woman was screaming, "Help me, help me." The man who apparently lived with her spoke with a neighbor and then drove away. The woman, in hysterics, went to a gas station on Los Gatos Boulevard and Gateway Drive. She told police that the man was her boyfriend and that he had hit and pushed her, but she did not need medical attention. Police took the woman back to her house and tried to locate the boyfriend.
Suspicious Package--Oct. 16, 10:02 p.m. A Carlton Avenue man received a letter from an unrecognized sender. The resident put the letter in a bag and went to the police department, saying he was concerned about anthrax. There were no powdery substances or threats in the letter. The man's fears were unfounded.
Suspicious Package--Oct. 16, 6:33 p.m. A Loma Alta Avenue resident called police about a letter that was received postmarked from Florida. The letter was put in a sealed plastic bag and handed over to the police, who disposed of it.
Suspicious Package--Oct. 16, 8:04 p.m. A person on N. Santa Cruz Avenue said that there was a suspicious letter from another country without a return address. Police found that the person had received letters from the same source for years. Advice was given.
Disturbance--Oct. 16, 4:57 p.m. A woman was outside an office, screaming and banging on the door for 10 minutes. The office was that of a psychologist, and she had locked herself inside with her secretary. The woman outside had an 8-year-old child with her and was the mother of one of the psychologist's patients. When police arrived, the subject was gone.
Disturbance--Oct. 16, 8:11 p.m. A man called 911, saying he was in a wheelchair and needed help. A struggle was heard in the background, and he hung up. Upon calling back, there was a message that the phone was disconnected. The struggle evidently was a fight among family members over a loaf of bread. The man who called was handicapped and frustrated about his living situation. No report was taken.
Suspicious Substance--Oct. 17, 10:01 p.m. A patron of Los Gatos Motor Inn reported finding a powdery substance in the Bible of the hotel room, thinking it was a drug residue. Police determined that the powder was not drugs or anthrax, but it was an unknown substance. A report was taken.
Traffic Hazard--Oct. 17, 4:41 p.m. Construction trucks were constantly driving up and down Kennedy Road and blocking traffic, a resident said. Police went to her home to check out the situation. That same day, the construction supervisor came into the police department, complaining that the woman had blocked the roadway and argued with him, not allowing people to pass while construction workers were unloading a tractor. Advice was given.
