MAY 2, 2013
- (FROM FRESNO POLICE FACEBOOK PAGE) At about 5:24 am, Fresno Police started receiving multiple calls for service from the 3900 block of North Manor (near West & Dakota). As the officers started to arrive, they located broken property and debris at several residences throughout the neighborhood. Officers located and attempted to contact an individual at 3954 N. Manor but he ran into the backyard and started yelling and breaking furniture as he screamed and yelled about the devil in his head. Officers did not initially attempt to contact the deranged male because of his bizarre behavior. As they were attempting to ascertain what was actually going on, they located another male in the front yard who was bleeding profusely due to the fact that he was missing a finger. It was at this point that the officers realized that there had been a disturbance at the location and at some point during the altercation, the suspect who was later identified as Scotty Blair of Fresno, had attacked the homeowner for no apparent reason. The officers moved the victim to a safe location and rendered basic first aid to his hand until EMS arrived. Next, they attempted to call Blair out of the yard but he was in no condition to communicate. Blair continued to yell and scream as he clawed at the wooden fence. When the officers approached Blair in the backyard, he surrendered peacefully to a Fresno Police K-9. The officers went into the residence to ensure no one else was injured; upon doing so they were able to locate the victim’s finger in a bedroom. They immediately retrieved it and turned it over to EMS personnel so they could transport the victim to the hospital. When the officers started to investigate the incident, they discovered the following: the suspect appeared to have ingested a near lethal dose of narcotics and subsequently became extremely violent as he went around the neighborhood kicking doors and breaking miscellaneous items. When he reached the address of 3954 N. Manor, he dove through the front window and attacked the home owner just as he was coming out of his bedroom. As the struggle began, the victim was able to get to his phone and call 911. The suspect then attacked the homeowner again and proceeded to bite off his finger as they fought throughout the house. Scotty Blair was arrested on scene and transported to CRMC for treatment of his injuries; he was arrested for residential burglary, mayhem, assault with a deadly weapon, and being under the influence of a controlled substance. At the time of this report, the victim is in stable condition at CRMC.
MAY 6, 2013
- At about 6:40pm, Fresno Fire responded to a two-alarm apartment fire at Diana & McKenzie. Upon arrival, it was discovered to be an arson, possibly related to a stabbing call that Fresno Police had previously responded to the night before.

The on-scene Battalion Chief for the FFD does not want fire crews to do a extensive “overhaul,” since the building is considered a crime scene. Ten people, including six children are now homeless.

> A leftover from February 1, 2013 (forgot to include it into the previous post)..."At about 8:56am, Fresno Police were dispatched to the parking lot of Big 5 Sporting Goods at Blackstone & Barstow for a report of a suspicious male urinating on a car."
> CLARIFICATION (names have been made public on newscasts): On February 1, 2013, at about 2:00pm, a man (Jett McBride) claiming that he was “GOD" rammed an African-American PG&E worker (name with-held) with his car while in a rage. While the worker was being helped by his co-workers and a few bystanders (including a nurse), the man attacked the PG&E worker’s helpers. A homeless man (“Kai”), who hitch-hiked a ride from the suspect tried to help the innocent citizens by attacking the suspect with a hatchet. The PG&E workers then tackled the suspect until authorities could arrive. McBride is from Washington, and was in a mental facility for his “God” claims, and was released a few days prior to the incident, and currently is being held in the Fresno County Jail...Kai, the "Home-Free Hitch-hiker" is now somewhere in.the valley, and is now a YouTube sensation with some television shows (Colbert Report, Jimmy Kimmel Live, etc.) telling the story...and the injured PG&E worker sustained broken bones, and is now recovering at home. He is expected to miss several weeks of work. A trial will be held.
>>> ...Now, onto the new stuff...
FEBRUARY 6, 2013

- At around 10:00pm, a high-speed chase traversed the Fresno streets Friday night with speeds in excess of 40-80mph. The chase started at Blackstone & McKinley when a MAGEC (Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium) officer tried to pull over a vehicle. I picked up on the chase on the scanner when it was at Blackstone & Shields. The CHP took over the pursuit as it traveled south on Glenn toward Fresno City College, west on Cambridge, up Maroa to Courtland, back to Glenn, down Clinton to Palm, north on Palm to Alluvial, and eastbound toward River Park. It continued onto El Paso to Angus, then north to Nees. The suspect vehicle then went east on Nees to Chestnut, and traveled south to where it crashed at Chestnut & Bullard, and an occupant leg-bailed into a field where the suspect was then taken into custody. During the chase, I overheard something related to a armed robbery (PC-211) at a gas station at Blackstone & Gettysburg, and the suspects even tried to deliberately crash into police cars..."Assault With A Deadly Weapon (ADW, PC-245 with enhancement)” to a peace officer, and of course evading arrest when the suspect ran. When the suspects crashed, they ran into another vehicle, causing injuries to it’s driver. Reports state that the driver of that vehicle, a 61 year-old driver will be okay, A CHP officer and a suspect were also injured.

When the victim did not have a cigarette, the suspect became upset and stabbed the victim in his upper body and left arm resulting in a collapsed lung. Based on employees statements it is believed the suspect is a homeless man who lives on the canal banks in the Ashlan/West Area. The suspect in this case is currently outstanding and has not been identified at this time (but a picture was captured on security cameras). The suspect is described as a WMA, 18 to 20 years, 6’1-6’2, thin build, 150 to 160 pounds, and mustache. He was last seen wearing a camo jacket, tan beanie, and blue jeans.

A homeless man (“Kai”), who hitch-hiked a ride from the suspect tried to help the innocent citizens by attacking the suspect with a hatchet. The PG&E workers then tackled the suspect until authorities could arrive. McBride is from Washington, and was in a mental facility for his “God” claims, and was released a few days prior to the incident, and currently is being held in the Fresno County Jail...Kai, the "Home-Free Hitch-hiker" is now somewhere in.the valley, and is now a YouTube sensation with some television shows (Colbert Report, Jimmy Kimmel Live, etc.) telling the story...and the injured PG&E worker sustained broken bones, and is now recovering at home. He is expected to miss several weeks of work. A trial will be held.

The chase started at Blackstone & McKinley when a MAGEC (Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium) officer tried to pull over a vehicle. I picked up on the chase on the scanner when it was at Blackstone & Shields. The CHP took over the pursuit as it traveled south on Glenn toward Fresno City College, west on Cambridge, up Maroa to Courtland, back to Glenn, down Clinton to Palm, north on Palm to Alluvial, and eastbound toward River Park. It continued onto El Paso to Angus, then north to Nees. The suspect vehicle then went east on Nees to Chestnut, and traveled south to where it crashed at Chestnut & Bullard, and an occupant leg-bailed into a field where the suspect was then taken into custody. During the chase, I overheard something related to a armed robbery (PC-211) at a gas station at Blackstone & Gettysburg, and the suspects even tried to deliberately crash into police cars..."Assault With A Deadly Weapon (ADW, PC-245 with enhancement)” to a peace officer, and of course evading arrest when the suspect ran. When the suspects crashed, they ran into another vehicle, causing injuries to it’s driver. Reports state that the driver of that vehicle, a 61 year-old driver will be okay, A CHP officer and a suspect were also injured.
