At 2000 hours, Guardian Angels John Ayala, Allison Pinkney, Jordan Estrada, Jeff Cargill, and Delante Cowens gathered at China Town/Gallery Place for patrol. For the next hour, we conducted on-site training of street tactics and Guardian Angel protocols. Also at this time, we spoke with MPD Sergeant Sheldon, who passed down information on gang activity in the area to us.
At approximately 2100 hours, we observed two rival gangs posturing against each other. We moved to the area and posted up to observe.
At 2117 hours, we assisted MPD officers in making an arrest of an armed suspect on the 600 block of 7th street.
At aproximately 2200 hours, Angels Ayala and Pinkney departed, and we were joined by Angel Dennis Harvey.
At 2235 hours we assisted MPD officers, lead by MPD Sergeant Baetchel, in making a search and arrest for drug possession on the corner of 6th and H streets. Sergeant Baetchel asked us to accompany an officer as he questioned another suspect in the area. The second individual was arrested as well.
At 2315 hours, we assisted the MPD officers in conveying the suspects to the point of transport. While in transit, an altercation occurred in front of the 7th street McDonalds. MPD officers asked us to guard one detainee while they responded to the fight. I directed my angels to respond to the altercation as well while I escorted the detainee to the transport vehicle. We posted up around the scene until the situation was normalized.
At 2329 hours, we assisted an MPD officer with a bag search of a suspicious individual.
At 2345 hours we posted up at the 7th and H street metro exit, where an individual was engaging in borderline, mildly disorderly behavior. Our presence deterred him from committing any crime at that time.
At 0010 hours, we returned to the 7th and H street metro exit after performing a patrol of the surrounding areas. Once on scene, we assisted MPD officers in making two arrests. An MPD officer attempted to detain a suspect and the the suspect evaded him and began to run. All Guardian Angels immediately converged on him and performed the take as a group. Metro Transit Officer Lilly completed the arrest. Once arrested, the suspect became violent, biting a hole in officer Lilly’s trousers, kicking, and attempted to break free. We assisted officer Lilly in restraining him and shielded, as numerous of his friends were crowding around. MPD and Metro Transit officers thanked us for our assistance.
At 0030 hours, we responded with Metro Transit officer Smith to a report of disorderly and resistant behavior inside the Metro. We accompanied her into the station, where a male individual was attempting to flee from Metro Transit officer Purvis. Angel Harvey performed the takedown, and Guardian Angels detained and searched the individual under the direction of Metro Transit officers. Metro Transit officer’s UIbiera and Purvis completed the arrest, and thanked us for our assistance.
At 0100 hours, we disbanded the patrol without further incident.
