Three Arrested After Police Find Drugs In House
Narcotics, and identity theft information found in a Burbank home resulted in the arrest of three people November 6. As part of an ongoing narcotics investigation, Burbank Police served a search warrant on the house at 3206 W. Chandler Blvd. at around 5:30 p.m. Inside the residence they recovered narcotics, drug paraphernalia, packaging materials, and identity theft information.
The three suspects, Peggie Wilson, 53, Jessica Klein, 25, and Kelly Rolph, 33, were all arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Wilson and Klein were also arrested for possession of stolen property.
Thief Caught In The Act
A Burbank Police Officer on patrol November 6, in the parking structure at the Burbank Town Center, noticed a man using his cell phone’s flashlight to light up the interior of a car’s trunk. As the officer approached, the man quickly shut the trunk and bean to walk away.
When the officer stopped him, the man, Sarkis Serob Hovakimyan, 19, of Burbank, said it was his friend’s car, and he was meeting him in the mall. The friend was contacted, and his story did not match that of the man. Based on items in the trunk, the officer determined that it was not his friend’s car. After it was discovered that the suspect had attempted to open other parked cars, he was placed under arrest.
A search of the suspect turned up cash, and a search of his car resulted in the recovery of stolen property and prescription narcotics. One vehicle owner was contacted, and reported that the cash had been stolen from his car. Another victim identified property stolen from their car. Hovakimyan was booked into the Burbank Jail for receiving stolen property, possession of narcotics paraphernalia, drug possession, and taking or damaging parts of a vehicle.
This Guy Went To Hooters For The Food, And Went To Jail For The Bill
A group of friends went to Hooters at 600 N. First St. on December 6, for a late lunch/early dinner. Apparently utilizing the “dine and dash” method, some of the people left the restaurant, but one man was left behind. Apparently he was too busy looking at the waitresses and didn’t see everyone leave.
According to police Osvaldo Macias, 18, of Phoenix, Arizona, also attempted to leave, but was spotted by the staff. When he refused to pay the tab for the $60 worth of food and beverages, he was placed under citizen’s arrest. Burbank Police transported him to the Burbank Jail where he was booked for defrauding an innkeeper. His bail was set at $500. No word if his “friends” bailed him out.
