Mission Police Captain Greg Corrales at a community meeting.

We at Mission Loc@l had read about Mission Police Captain Greg Corrales’ creative writing abilities, but his December newsletter is the most interesting one yet.

The self-described ace reporter’s recap of Christmas day is particularly amusing. The last item is my favorite.

Enjoy:

“We had hoped that it would not be necessary to arrest anyone on Christmas, but there were several miscreants out there that gave us no choice in the matter.

Miscreant #1 – 3:23 AM                 Mariposa & Utah                               111028953

While investigating reports of a man “casing” vehicles, Officers Cota & Wilgus discovered an auto burglar in flagrante delicto. When the brazen brigand was asked why he was in the victim’s auto, he replied, “The door was unlocked.”

Miscreant #2 – 7:13 AM                 20th & S. Van Ness                             111029105

While investigating a possible child abuse case, Officers Akmese & Cruz encountered a suspicious scoundrel skulking sinisterly. Further investigation revealed that he was a fugitive from justice.

Miscreants #3 & 4 – 11:13 AM      13th & Mission                                                111030607

Officer Fischer encountered a furtive felon and his furtive floozy skulking sullenly. Further investigation revealed that they were both fugitives from justice.

Miscreant #5 – 1:28 PM                 23rd & San Bruno                              111029371

Officers McDonald, Gassen, & Lattig sought, located, and apprehended a flagitious fugitive parolee, and assured that he would be spending the new year with his homies in state prison.”
