Potrero Hill, San Francisco

Plainclothes Officers Kirchner and Ellis were on patrol in the area when they saw males standing in front of a residence on Rhode Island Street. As they approached, the males realized that the Officers were the police and two out of three began to run. Believing that something was criminally afoot the Officers gave chase. Officer Kirchner saw the male he was chasing place something into the bushes. Officer Kirchner detained the male, Officer Ellis detained the male he was chasing. The other remaining male did not run.

Officer Kirchner went back to the bush that the male stopped and recovered a loaded gun. The male who was on parole from Oakland for robbery was arrested for numerous gun charges. The other male also from Oakland was cited for resisting arrest. The remaining male, from San Francisco who stayed behind was identified and released.

It should be clear that these men were conspiring to commit a robbery or another violent act in this neighborhood and the diligence of these Officers prevented this form happening.
