33-year-old black female had never been issued a driver’s license. She was 
cited and released in the field. Her vehicle was left legally parked.

 1. At approximately 4:44 p.m., an officer responded to a residence in 
the 1300 block of North Baldwin Avenue regarding a burglary report. The 
victim stated he was lured to his backyard by Suspect #1 who offered to show 
the victim the quality of his work he performed on a neighbor’s wall behind 
the victim’s house. While the victim and Suspect #1 were in the backyard, 
Suspect #2 entered the victim’s home, ransacked the residence, and stole 
three designer watches. Suspect #1 asked the victim to wait in the backyard 
while he, Suspect #1, drove to the other side of the wall to retrieve some tools
