The holidays tend to present police officers with even more than the usual smorgasbord of calls. Sometimes the officers get dispatched to family arguments fueled by alcohol, to incidents in which gifts are stolen and to vehicle crashes involving those who imbibed too much of the holiday spirits.
And then there are shifts such as those Union City and Fremont officers dealt with Wednesday night and Thurs-
day morning.
A Union City bus driver was hit in the forehead with a rock after arguing with patrons about unpaid fares, a burglar broke into a Niles home and added pornography to a computer screen-saver, and a Fremont officer was attacked by a group of Chihuahuas — we're not making this up — while escorting a teenager home, police said.
The first incident happened about 6:45 p.m. when three friends got onto a Union City Transit bus at Alice Way and Regents Boulevard. Two of them failed to pay their fares, Lt. Kelly Musgrove said.
The driver confronted the pair and ordered them off the bus, Musgrove said.
After all three men left the bus, the rider who paid his $1.25 fare threw a rock at the driver from 20 feet away, Musgrove said. The driver was not seriously hurt.
The rock thrower, who is being sought for a charge of assault with adeadly weapon, was described as a 20- to 22-year-old African-American man who is 6 feet tall and weighs about 180 pounds. He wore a black sweat shirt and black pants and had a goatee, Musgrove said.
Several hours later, Fremont police received a call from a 36-year-old Niles resident who said someone had broken into her house and used her computer, Detective Bill Veteran said.
The woman woke up about 1:15 a.m. and found the stranger typing away, Veteran said.
When officers arrived at the Stonebridge Drive home, they found that a window screen had been slit and the window forced open, and the intruder had changed the computer's screen saver to "erotic Indian art," Veteran said.
Nothing was reported stolen from the house, and neither the woman nor her 9-year-old daughter was hurt, he said.
About two hours later, a police officer was attacked by five Chihuahuas as he escorted a 17-year-old boy home after detaining him in a car stop, Veteran said.
The officer suffered only minor injuries to one ankle when the dogs rushed at him after the front door opened. He was able to return to work after 11/2 hours at a local hospital.
It was the third time in two weeks that a Fremont officer had been bitten by a dog, the detective said.
On Dec. 14, an officer responding to a rollover vehicle crash was bitten on the hand by the driver's dog, and three days later an officer working overtime was bitten by a pit bull as he was making a warrant arrest, police said.
Neither of those officers was seriously injured.
Forget the pit bulls. License dachsunds and Chihuahuas. Little buggers are MEAN.
