S.A. 12-031 <br />Investigator: BRETT ANDERSEN Approved By: <br />Date of Report: 04/02/2013 Date: 04/02/2013 <br />Page 12 of 20 <br />off a wall. ALCALA and GARCIA believed it to be LEON, so GARCIA maintained a position at the <br />south wall of the backyard and ALCALA ran back toward East Washington Avenue, and then <br />west to North Lacy Street, in an effort to cut off LEON’s escape route. <br />While ALCALA was looking for LEON on North Lacy Street, GARCIA heard movement on <br />the other side of a wooden fence, at the southwest corner of the yard, and believed it was <br />LEON. At this point, GARCIA and ALCALA no longer had visual contact with each other. <br />GARCIA climbed on top of a white table, next to the south wall, and was able to see <br />south over the wall and into the parking lot on the other side. GARCIA did not see LEON in the <br />parking lot, so GARCIA thought the noise he heard may have come from within the alcove to <br />the west. From his position standing on the table, GARCIA climbed on top of a washer and <br />dryer that were up against the south wall and a west wooden fence. The washer/dryer units <br />were draped with a sheet of plastic, which made for an unstable platform for GARCIA to s tand <br />on. <br />Not knowing why LEON ran from the Police, or what his possible involvement in the call <br />of “females arguing with a male and children crying” may have been, and for officer safety <br />reasons, GARCIA held his handgun in his right hand and his flashlight in his left hand. GARCIA <br />stood on top of the washer/dryer units and began to look west into the alcove. As GARCIA <br />cleared the alcove, he observed LEON crouched down, approximately 4 feet from the west <br />wooden fence that separated the two properties. LEON had a dark jacket covering him, with <br />his right hand concealed in the front of his waistband. GARCIA described LEON as staring south <br />at the block wall and “he had a blank stare, uh like deer in the headlight type of thing stare.” <br />GARCIA immediately ordered LEON, “Let me see your hands, Santa Ana Police, don’t move!”
