full_579_ 4300 block Duval St.: Police were called to the address early Wednesday morning in regard to suspicious persons. According to a police report, an unknown caller said there were two white males walking around looking in cars. The responding officer found one juvenile walking around on Rosebud Drive, an adjacent street. When the officer spoke to the boy, he asked if anyone was with him. The boy said that two of his friends were with him but they ran off at the approach of the police car. The boy denied that he had been inside any cars in the neighborhood. When the officer ran the juvenile’s information through dispatch and found that the boy had two verified attachments from juvenile court. 

The juvenile was taken into custody and when the officers patted him down discovered a set of keys and a large amount of miscellaneous change in the boy’s pockets. The boy said he didn’t know whose keys they were, that his friends had given them to him. The report states that the boy admitted that the keys came from a car on Duval Street which he had entered. The report states that the boy admitted to the officer that his friends had entered a number of vehicles on Duval Street. 

The officer took the boy down the street where the juvenile showed him which vehicle he had entered to obtain the keys. A truck that had been entered was found to belong to a Chattanooga Police Department officer. The officer came out and checked out his vehicle, determining that his department keys were the only thing missing from his truck. The keys were returned to the man.

According to a police report, the officer stopped Shannon Speck outside of the store after another customer said that the woman had stolen a pair of sunglasses. Speck told the officer that she forgot to pay for the sunglasses after forgetting that she put them on her face. When the officer asked where the tags were for the glasses the woman said that “they fell off.” The report states that the officer went back inside the store and found the sales tag to the glasses between the rack they were on and the wall. The report states that when Speck was told she was under arrest she pulled away and lunged to the side. While trying to resist arrest, the report states, a glass pipe with dark charring fell from her purse and “she proceeded to stomp on it, causing it to shatter.” The pipe, the report notes, is of the kind routinely used to smoke narcotics.
