Arvada Crime Blotter: Man hides beer in pants

Man harasses city code enforcer. Arvada police were dispatched to the 16000 block of West 62nd Place on Feb. 26 when a distraught city code enforcement officer reported being verbally assaulted by a man she was investigating. Neighbors had called code enforcement to report that the man plowed huge piles of snow into the cul-de-sac and parked his truck on the sidewalk, blocking pedestrians. The code officer was taking pictures of the truck when the man lunged for her camera and screamed profanities. She filed a harassment case.
Drug arrest a cry for help. Police were patrolling businesses near the 5700 block of Sheridan Frontage Road on Feb. 26 when they observed a single parked car in a lot. Police contacted the passengers — a man, his wife and another woman — and when the man’s wife reached for her ID, police saw a small bag of methamphetamine in her pocket. She was arrested and later told officers she could have hid the drugs but showed them so she could get help.
Prank caller threatens woman. On Feb. 23, police made contact with a female resident who said an unknown man called her house, yelled at her son and said he knew where she lived. The woman told police that the man had been calling her for several months to say she won $1 million. She told him multiple times to stop. The woman was advised to call police if the man called again.
Trio dines, ditches. The manager at Applebee’s, West 52nd Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard, reported a “dine and dash” Feb. 21. Two men and one woman ordered $99 worth of food — six meals — and left without paying. The manager took down their license plate, and police arranged a lineup of the suspects. No employees positively identified the suspects, however, so they were released.
Hides beer in pants for men. Police saw two suspicious men walking in the road at West 52nd Avenue and Carr Street on Feb. 21. According to officers, they smelled like beer so they ran identification checks. One man eventually revealed that he was under a court order not to have alcohol. Police searched him and found a half-empty can of High Gravity “PB” malt liquor in his pants. He was taken into custody.
