Not your ordinary Monday morning
Early Monday morning's are usually very quiet when it comes to significant police activity. Things weren't that way today with officers responding on three disturbances in less than an hour.
The first was reported to be several subjects being rowdy and possibly fighting at the Royal Crest Lanes, 933 Iowa Street, around 1:10 a.m.. Lawrence Police Department's call log show that a total of 12 units were eventually assigned to the call. Medics were also called to the scene to treat four people who had been exposed to OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) spray, otherwise known as pepper spray. A 19-year-old, Topeka man was arrested and faces a slew of charges including; battery on a law enforcement officer, possession of an others driver's license, assault on a law enforcement officer, obstruction of the legal process, two municipal failure to appear warrants and a Shawnee County failure to appear warrant. Booking records show that he is being held without bond by the order of the Topeka Police Department.
The next two disturbances both involved the same subject causing problems at the same address. Officers were first called to Playerz, 1910 Haskell Avenue, at 1:29 a.m., for two subjects fighting inside the business. When officers arrived the two men had separated and one was waiting for officers outside. Officers arrested one man for disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing. The police department's website shows that seven units were assigned to the call. Medics also responded and treated one subject, at the scene, for a bloody nose.
Officers were called back to the Haskell Avenue address at 2:03 a.m. after an employee reported that the second man involved in the earlier disturbance had returned and was knocking on the door and windows. This time nine units show to be assigned to the call and the man is arrested but, only after he decided that it would be a good idea to batter one of the officers. The man now faces charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct.
At 2:08 a.m., Officers responded on a non-injury accident in the 1700 block of Tennessee Street. The male driver was arrested and now faces charges for OUI, no insurance and driving while suspended/revoked.
An officer on routine patrols also conducted a vehicle stop in the 1800 block of W 23rd Street. The driver was found to be intoxicated and was arrested. She now faces an OUI charge.

July 14th Early Morning Law Enforcement & Fire/Medical wrap up
Just before 1:50 a.m., Lawrence Police were called to a business in the 2500 block of west 31st Street for a report of a suspicious subject possibly attempting to steal items from in front of the business. Officers caught up with the subject just as he was attempting to leave the scene. Police attempted a vehicle stop, the male suspect failed to yield and led officers on a brief vehicle pursuit which ended in the 3300 block of Iowa Street. The suspect was arrested and has been booked into the Douglas County Jail facing charges of Fleeing/Elude a Police Officer, Reckless Driving, No Driver's License and Theft of Property/Services.
A few minutes after the brief pursuit came to an end, Police were called to the 900 block of Massachusetts Street for a report of a hit and run accident. Police caught up with a vehicle matching the descriptions given by witnesses in the 900 block of Louisiana Street. The female driver of that vehicle was arrested on charges of Leaving the Scene of an Accident, Failure to Report an Accident and OUI.
Around 2:30 a.m., Police were called to investigate a possible car vs pedestrian accident near 10th and Illinois Streets. Fire/Medical was also dispatched but then disregarded after the involved pedestrian said they did not want an ambulance response. Officers determined the incident to be a disturbance between the two subjects. As of this report, no arrests or other information was available.
Police in Lawrence conducted six vehicle stops, responded on seven disturbances and three medical emergencies.
None of this morning's activity was said to have resulted in any serious injuries.
