Sunnyside Troublemaker Arrested . . . Finally

Greg%20Arrest_SFist.jpgSunnyside residents have cause to celebrate tonight as one of the neighborhood's most notorious residents was arrested this afternoon after years of mischievous criminal behavior.

In the past month, "Greg" has broken into, slashed the tires of, and stolen the gas out of neighbors' cars. In mid-June, Greg assaulted one neighbor who confronted him about a vehicular break-in.

Although neighbors really put the pressure on the powers that be since the June assault, Greg's shenanigans have been thoroughly documented by the community for years. Today, it seems, justice was finally served.

Now if only the police would do something effective about the violent muggings that have been plaguing Glen Park for months. At least tonight, the southern part of the city is a little bit safer.

What the fuck that a) it took that long and b) it took that many cops

Yes, 8 cops. And sorry to disappoint you, bikebike, but word on the street is that it was a San Mateo County arrest (where Greg is on probation).

someone needs to turn that into a FAIL photo.

Deborah's back !!!!
Yay !!!


This guy is a complete menace, and has been tormenting the neighborhood for years & years with repeated criminal activity and general nuisance/mayhem (you name it, he's done it). Let's hope they keep him in jail this time, and prevent his "friends" from squatting in the house while he's at sleep-away camp in San Mateo.

There was a kid in our neighborhood who continued wearing grey Farah pants, Pringle sweaters and a Harrington jacket way after they'd gone out of fashion. Suffice it to say, after a brief neighborhood "intervention" he was decked-out in freshly-shoplifted Joe Bloggs and Kicker boots toutes suite.

pretty sure they caught the Bernal / Glen Park muggers a while back, actually.

Or at least they caught two guys in an undercover sting on Cortland, who they thought were responsible.

Unfortunately, the muggings in Glen Park have been pretty consistent for the past few months. The local news outlets don't publish the stories, but those who subscribe to Captain O'Leary's daily emails are all too aware of the crimes that take place mainly on the stretch of Chenery between Diamond and 30th Street. Just the other day (July 3), a woman was held up at gunpoint as she was helping her children into her car. There's a community meeting in Glen Park right now. Hopefully, something productive will come from it.
