During the last seven-day period, the Police Department handled 386 service events, resulting in 80 investigations.
Juvenile Problem
January 28 at 11:42 a.m., officers were dispatched to an elementary school in the 200 block of Jasmine Avenue. A 10-year-old student was found to be in possession of a plastic Airsoft pistol. The student said he left it in his backpack from the day before and forgot he had it in the backpack. He showed it to a fellow student. The fellow student later reported the incident to school personnel. The principal called the student in and retrieved the Airsoft pistol. There were no plastic BB's or magazine clips with the pistol. The student's parent was notified and responded to the school. The parent later surrendered two additional Airsoft pistols and requested Monrovia Police Department have them destroyed. No injuries were reported and the school will be suspending the student. The incident was documented.

About the Airsoft pistol, and confiscation of others at the student's home, Monrovia Police and the school are out of their minds.
ReplyDeleteThis is utterly insane and in fact is an illegal taking by the Police.
Of course people with firearms figure gun control is all about control and ultimately confiscation.
Look what the police do when they can get away with it.
I am ashamed for the city. But not too surprised. And, I won't post my name. Not with this attitude among Police.
