The Milpitas Police Department had a busy weekend with multiple arrests ranging from outstanding warrants to DUI incidents, according to a recent social media update from the department. Law enforcement's persistent vigilance brought several offenders to justice, reinforcing its commitment to public safety.
One case involved a 53-year-old male from San Jose who was collared on Friday with seven outstanding warrants. The arrest occurred after officers responded to disturbance near the 350 Block of W. Calaveras Blvd. at 11:55 a.m. The charges that led to his detention included felony vandalism, theft, court order violations, and assault. The suspect was subsequently booked into jail, according to a Facebook post from the department.
Further police action saw a coordinated response on Saturday, when officers assisted a neighboring agency in apprehending a 22-year-old San Jose male following a vehicle pursuit. The suspect abandoned a stolen vehicle and attempted to flee on foot near the 250 Block of W. Calaveras Bl. The quick establishment of a perimeter facilitated his capture and eventual arrest.
Saturday night also witnessed a DUI-related apprehension after officers were tipped off by a community member about a 24-year-old female from Los Angeles. The alert pinpointed a potential DUI driver who had hit a parked car. Upon response to the 650 Block of Dempsey Road at 10:35 PM, the driver was found under the influence and booked for DUI.
The weekend roundup concluded on Sunday, with officers responding to a report of a suspicious and visibly damaged vehicle. Located at the 1300-Block of Great Mall Pkwy, a 34-year-old Santa Clara male was discovered unconscious behind the wheel of a car with significant front-end damage and a flat tire. Authorities confirmed the driver was under the influence and took him into custody for DUI, as noted in the department's Facebook post.
In light of these incidents, the Milpitas Police Department continues to urge residents to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious persons or activities. For emergencies, the public should dial 9-1-1, and for non-emergencies, the department has provided the contact number 408-586-2400.
