PROBLEM CHILD WITH PROBLEMS

NORTH SAN ANNA DRIVE

AUG. 6, 9:12 P.M.A

A 15-year-old boy took on threatening tendencies after being
ridiculed by a male acquaintance, according to a Pima County Sheriff’s
Department report.

The subject’s mother said that when her daughter and her daughter’s
boyfriend arrived home from Red Lobster that evening, her son started
verbally sparring with them on the back porch. She said she heard her
son screaming and calling both of them names; after the fight escalated
to an intense degree, she saw him grab some knives and wave them
around, telling the boyfriend, “Look, look at the knives I have. …
I’m going to stab you. I’m going to cut you up and throw you over the
wall!”

When asked how many knives her son had been holding, the subject’s
mother said she believed it had been all of the knives in the
house—approximately five knives of the same size.

The subject was apprehended in his bedroom, rummaging around in a
drawer. He no longer possessed any knives, but a massive metal pipe was
stuck down his pants, and a large hammer was found in his front
pocket.

The subject admitted that he had gotten angry at his sister’s
boyfriend for making fun of him; the boyfriend had allegedly called him
a “problem child.” The subject also admitted that he had threatened to
murder the boyfriend, but insisted he hadn’t meant it.

His sister and her boyfriend both said they feared for their
lives.

The subject was arrested for domestic violence and disorderly
conduct.

YOU STALK HERE OFTEN?

UA AREA,

AUG. 21, 1:07 P.M.

A mysterious man’s odd pickup lines terrified—not
attracted—the apparent object of his affections, a University of
Arizona Police Department report stated.

The victim, a young female student, said she had been at the
university’s Main Library that morning when she was approached by an
unfamiliar male. The male looked at her and approvingly told her that
she had “a small waist” and that he would “like to show her around
Tucson.” Though it was obvious she was not interested, he reportedly
would not leave her alone; he later gave her a library card that had
“let’s be best friends” written on it. She told him bluntly go away,
but he approached her yet again a few hours later. She would not speak
to him.

The victim said she did not want to return to the library ever again
for fear of seeing the man. She was advised to call law enforcement if
she did, in fact, see him.
