Fleeing suspect no match for East Bay parks cop – a trained runner
Henry Lee
OAKLAND, Calif. – A convicted felon thought he could outrun an East Bay parks police officer – who also happens to be an experienced distance runner.He thought wrong.
“I’m a former triathlete and yeah – I love running,” said Officer Eileen Swanson of the East Bay Regional Park District police.
Off-duty, she’s completed many triathlons, including the grueling Ironman race, meaning she swims, bikes and does plenty of running.
“My co-workers, my partners know that I like to run, that I’m a runner,” she said.
So trying to run from her when she’s on-duty isn’t such a great idea.
A suspect found that out the hard way on Monday morning when he took off from park police in a Dodge Nitro and went the wrong way on Hegenberger Road in East Oakland. The SUV stalled, and he ran off.
A still image from police body-camera footage shows Swanson out of her police truck and beginning to give chase. There was no time to stretch.
“In this case, I felt ready to go. I felt loose and ready to go,” Swanson said.
While wearing 30 pounds of gear and tactical boots, Swanson and other officers caught the suspect after a foot pursuit.
“He was huffing and puffing,” Swanson said. “I had a lot of adrenaline, so it was good. I was excited that we caught him.”
Police found a handgun on the driver’s seat of the SUV.
KTVU has learned the suspect, Gustavo Castillo Rosales, 38, has been charged by Alameda County prosecutors with being a felon with a gun and evading arrest. He has priors for evading and carrying a concealed weapon in a car and was also wanted on outstanding warrants.

Fort Lauderdale fire call ends in a deadly police shooting. Officers placed on leave
Milena Malaver
Two Fort Lauderdale Police officers have been placed on administrative leave after they shot and killed a man who, police say, started a fire in a parking lot early Thursday morning.Authorities responded to the fire call that ended in a shooting around 6:30 a.m. to the 5300 block of Northwest 33rd Avenue, where police and fire crews encountered a significant blaze in a parking lot and a man reportedly throwing incendiary devices, said department spokesperson Ali Adamson.
Police say the man was “holding what appeared to be incendiary devices” and two officers fired their guns at him when he did not comply with their verbal commands, though they did not specify the commands nor the fire starting devices.

Home boi just went to jail…tired. A whole new meaning to the term…fast woman. Kinda sorta easy on the eyes, too. Not quite as drop dead gorgeous as Messrs Smith and Wesson’s 686 but probably even more dangerous.
Tox…check the Binder on T2NB2AGF…I don’t think we have “incendiary devices” listed.
I will and do take responsibility for my own liberty. Live free…die well.
Nope, no “incendiary devices” listed in the 3″ three ring loose leaf binder of T2NB2AGF, this is a new addition.
After the dearth of anything new, this is an unwelcome addition. Fire does not always stay small and personal.
Considering the Kalifornia conflagrations and the heightened awareness of how easy it is to torch a city, Florida boi should’a listened to the po-po when they asked him to put down the smokes (and they weren’t talking about his tobacco).
Next time someone catches an arsonist, I can see several choices besides the usual “beat ’em up and hold ’em for the police”;
-bring a fire extinguisher, put out the firebug’s fire. Depending on the extinguisher, one could either freeze or suffocate the firebug. Maybe both.
-bring some flammable petroleum, splash it on the firebug. (bonus points for playing Jim Morrison’s “Light My Fire”, six minute version; or Arthur Brown’s “Burn”)
-bring a flammenwerfer, flammen the firebug’s werfer. (same bonus points as above)
OK, you retard I have googled. I have Internet and I have tried to play the jumble, but I have no idea what the three ring binders, subject spinal labeling is.
What the flying fuck is
“ T2NB2AGF “. ?!?!?!
Chimpy, Chimpy, Chimpy….again…you should keep up. We’ve answered this question EVERY time you’ve asked of late.

Thank you.
God forbid I should try to make sense for your jabber jabber.

Florida man’s Molotov meltdown.
Great job on running the perp down. Reminds me of the movie Colors where Sean Penn runs down a perp and informs him he is the fastest white boy in the department.
Play with fire and you get burned, or dead and dead is good.
Like the two following stories on Yahoo where “pizzagate” guy get served lead and child molester offed himself.

The Oakland Californicate story reminds me of one AB Brother tells:
He was a young LEO not long home from 82nd AB, when he got a call – if memory serves me, domestic violence/disturbance. He rolls up and the guy starts running, with AB Brother in pursuit on foot – cutting through yards etc.
With all his gear on him, he’s keeping pace but can’t catch up, until….
they are running down a sidewalk, a citizen pulls up beside AB Brother and says “you tryin’ to catch that guy?”
“Yes”
“Hop on.”
AB Brother hops on the hood, the citizen drives up behind the suspect whereupon AB Brother jumps off the hood and tackles him.
Suspect: “No way you could catch me! No way! I’m just out of the Rangers.”
AB Brother: “82nd Airborne” and cuffs him.
Suspect never knew how he caught him.
