Thanksgiving Mischief: Terence Clark, 49, was arrested around 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day after he broke the front glass door at TPD headquarters on North Clinton Avenue. Officials say cops saw him use a metal pole to smash the front glass door, and that he immediately surrendered when he saw police. Officials say Clark ran from the entrance to the curb sidewalk and lied facedown on the ground with his hands behind his back after realizing that cops witnessed the break-in. It’s unclear why Clark decided to smash the door, but officials say
some TPD supervisors on overnight duty will allow homeless people to sleep in the lobby when it’s cold outside. Clark is charged with criminal mischief.
Domestic Violence: Jalen Flemming, 23, was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly punched a woman and stole her cell phone. The victim told police Flemming arrived at an Oakland Street apartment and started an argument over rumors about the woman he heard on the street. During the argument, police say, Flemming hit the woman in the face, prompting her to call emergency 911. He then punched her in the head, pulled her hair and fled the apartment with her cell phone, according to police. Officials say Flemming and the woman have children together, and that at least one of them was present during the assault. Flemming is charged with assault, robbery and endangering the welfare of a child. The victim declined medical attention.

Ecstasy Bust: Luis Gonzalez, 36, was arrested by detectives from the Street Crimes Unit who saw him toss drugs onto the ground upon seeing cops.
