Each year Edison International, parent company of Southern 
California Edison (SCE), gives $1.2 million in scholarships to 
high school seniors in the SCE service territory. This year, Edison

 To be eligible, students must be a current high school senior 
with a 3.0 GPA or higher and living in or attending school in an 
area serviced by SCE or in the vicinity of the San Onofre Nuclear 
Generating Station. Students must plan to attend an accredited 
four-year college or university in the U.S and major in one of the 
following STEM fields: mathematics, engineering, computer and 
information services, management information systems, natural

demonstrate financial need are preferred, especially first-generation 
college students who have overcome significant challenges. The 
application deadline is February 1, 2017.

During this time period, the Sierra 
Madre Police Department responded to 
approximately 215 day and night time 
calls for service. 

Wednesday, January 11 

A resident in the 00 block of E. Sierra 
Madre Bl. came to the station’s lobby at 
about 4:15 p.m. to report a theft from her vehicle parked outside 
her home. At about 2:30 p.m. the victim noticed that her spare 
tire was missing from the rear tailgate rack on her car. Case 
forwarded to Detectives 

8:08 p.m. 

A residential burglary occurred as unknown suspect(s) smashed 
a rear door window pane of a French-style door and entered the 
residence while the resident was home. The suspect(s) fled once 
the alarm system was activated. No property was taken. 

Friday, January 13 

At about 12:48 p.m., officers were dispatched to the station lobby 
regarding a Sexual Battery report. The victim stated she was 
walking east to Baldwin Ave. in the 100 block of E. Sierra Madre 
Bl. when she was approached by a male (suspect) that made a 
comment to her and continued to walk west on Sierra Madre Bl. 
After the victim crossed the street and was walking west to an 
appointment, the suspect approached her again and engaged her 
in a conversation. At this point the suspect hugged the victim and 
began to grope her body and kissed her on the cheek. The victim 
pulled away and went into a nearby office for her appointment and 
reported the incident. The suspect is described as a male Asian, 
approximately 30 years of age, clean shaven with a normal haircut.
