Read Across America: On Tuesday, the world celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss and across the
country community members were invited to read to students at their local schools. I was honored to
read to a sixth grade class and a third grade class at Los Coyotes Elementary School. In fact, I read
Freckle Juice to the sixth graders, a book I had purchased at a book fair when I was in sixth grade, (and
as I was reminded - yes I know that was a very long time ago). I was pleased to hear that the book is
still in publication and many of the students had read it.

Armed Robbery at Walgreens: On March 2, 2016, at about 8:50 p.m., LPPD received a 911 call from
Walgreens located at 5961 La Palma Avenue regarding an armed robbery that just occurred. Officers
immediately responded but could not locate the suspect in the area. The suspect approached the store
manager at the counter and produced a handgun from his pants pocket. The suspect demanded money
and threatened that he would shoot everyone in the store. The suspect fled the location with cash from
the business. No vehicle was seen and no one was injured during the incident.
The suspect is described as a black male, 35-40 years of age, 5-07 with a heavy build, wearing a gray
beanie hat, grey long sleeved shirt, and blue jeans. Responding officers were able to obtain the

was parked in his driveway had been rummaged through and the garage door opener was missing.
The victim checked his home surveillance video cameras and discovered that at approximately 1:40
