If the shoe fits ... book him

By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer

Woodland police call it a “classic Cinderella story.”

While officers investigated a possible stolen vehicle Wednesday at Park Avenue and Cleveland streets, a suspect fled from the car, leaving one shoe behind.

The department’s K-9 Loki retrieved the shoe — not a glass slipper in this case — and the search for its mate began.

“We won’t keep you in suspense too long,” Lt. Dallas Hyde posted on the Woodland Police Department’s Facebook page. “We located the owner of the lost shoe without having to go house-

Loki and his handler tracked the suspect, identified as Chico resident Christopher James Fraser, 29, to the rafters of a nearby garage.

“Officers were able to talk Mr. Fraser into coming out and reunited him with his wayward footwear,” Hyde said. His passenger, 28-yearold Amanda Morgan Pratt of Anderson, also was arrested for allegedly possessing a methamphetamine pipe. Both were booked into the Yolo County Jail while police took possession of car, which had been reported stolen out of Willows in Glenn County.

Assembly Bill 481, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2022, requires Davis police to seek the City Council’s annual reauthorization of an ordinance outlining the equipment’s purchase, acquisition and use.

The law also requires police to hold a public hearing prior to the council’s consideration of the proposed ordinance, set for June 20. The public hearing begins at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, May 25, at the Davis police station,

2600 Fifth St. Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel said the meeting involves a brief presentation describing why and how police use the equipment — ranging from vehicles to firearms to non- or less-lethal devices — followed by a questionand-answer session and public-comment period.

“It’s basically a full-disclosure procedure and an opportunity for anybody to ask questions and express themselves,” Pytel said.

Citizens may submit questions in advance to policeweb@cityofdavis. org.

Also in keeping with state law, the Davis Police Department maintains on its website an inventory and annual use report for its military equipment, although Pytel characterized that term as “a misnomer.”

“Even though this equipment is never used by the military, the state legislature has classified it as military equipment,” he said.

Pytel also noted that his agency isn’t seeking to acquire any new equipment, but corrected the pending ordinance to include the department’s use of “noise flash diversionary devices,” also known as “flash bangs” or stun grenades.

In addition to holding the public hearing, Davis police submitted the proposed ordinance to the Davis Police Accountability Commission for consideration.
