It was a little after midnight when Officer Giovanni Leyva, Officer Mariano Flores, and Officer Michael Scherer were on patrol in the Bayview and noticed a car stopped in the middle of the street with 1 on board. A quick computer check revealed the vehicle was reported stolen.
The officers conduct a high-risk traffic stop and the suspect/driver decides to simply ignore the directions of the officers and casually walk away.
On Wednesday, March 23, at approximately 2230 hours, I parked and locked my vehicle on the 1200 block of Franklin Street, between Post and Geary. Upon my return, approximately 30 minutes later, I saw that my left rear passenger window was shattered. Upon closer examination, I noticed the sidewalk was littered with shattered glass and that the vehicles parked behind me also had their windows shattered. After letting out some sailor-worthy expletives, I commiserated with the woman parked behind my vehicle. We were frustrated and yes, angry!
