SACRAMENTO, CA -- Sally McFarland had left her car for just a couple of minutes to pick up her two grandsons at Crocker-Riverside Elementary School when the thief struck.
But it seems the weather's effect on crime can be as tricky to predict as the forecast itself. Statistics show that city police received fewer domestic-related calls over the weekend (125) than either of the previous two weekends (151 Jan. 29-31 and 172 Jan. 22-24), according to Lt. Vernell Shaheed of the family crimes unit.

Monday, Feb. 8, 2010 With the assistance of technology, police quickly apprehended a suspect accused of stealing a police patrol car Sunday evening.
About 7:30 p.m., officers with the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department responded to a domestic disturbance in the 25700 block of Kiser Court on Elkhart’s north side. The volatile situation involved a 21-year-old man who was believed by his parents to have been very intoxicated, having ingested large quantities of both alcohol and prescription medication.
While meeting in the home with one of the parents, the 21-year-old entered Patrolman Brandon Denesuk’s patrol car and drove away. Officers backing up Denesuk located the stolen vehicle within seconds using GPS locators installed in sheriff’s cars.
Officers were attempting to intercept the vehicle when it crashed in the construction area of the Johnson Street bridge. The car had minor damage from striking construction barricades or barrels.
Suspect Ryan Larson fled on foot but was taken into custody by Elkhart police officers in the area of Cassopolis Street and Baldwin Avenue about 7:45 p.m. After being checked for injuries at Elkhart General Hospital, Larson was taken to the corrections facility on preliminary charges of felony auto theft, misdemeanor operating while intoxicated, and misdemeanor resisting law enforcement. He also faces a preliminary charge of leaving the scene of a property damage crash, also a misdemeanor.
A blood draw at the hospital indicated Larson’s blood-alcohol level was 0.10 percent.
Sheriff Mike Books said the incident will be reviewed to determine whether department policies and procedures were effective and followed by officers.
While the vehicle was stolen, all weapons inside the car were secure and could not have been used by the suspect. Nothing was taken from the patrol vehicle.
