Case #13 -05472 Incident #13 -29037 Page -2, of _ SOURCE OF ACTIVITY On Friday March 22, 2013 1 was on patrol on a marked police bike and wearing a Eugene Police uniform with badge prominently displayed when I rode through the West Park Blocks at 840 Oak Street in the City of Eugene, County of Lane, and State of Oregon. OFFICER'S OBSERVATIONS / INVESTIGATION On this day, Officer Ware and I rode into the park under the overhead structure and I observed several cloth bags piled on the ground in front of one of the park benches and food was coming out from the bags onto the ground as well. . No one was near the bags to stake claim to them so I asked if anyone knew who the items belonged to. One female told me that she knew who the items belonged to and asked her if she would be able to get the owner to my location otherwise I would need to confiscate the items as lost property and the owner would be able to get them back at a later time. The female ran across Oak Street to the area known as the East Park Blocks and returned with Jennifer Lynnelle Adams. Adams is a regular to the downtown homeless scene and I have dealt with her since my first time on the downtown team last year. In fact, I dealt with Adams earlier on this day when Sergeant Molony warned her (incident 13- 28907) regarding Prohibited Camping. I explained to Adams that it was a Violation of Park Rules (1.020) to leave unclaimed articles in the park. Adams stated that she left the items under the care of her friends while she was away. I pointed out that her items prevented access to the park bench and she needed to keep her property on near her person while in the park. Officer Ware also pointed out to Adams that she has listened to police warn other people of this ordinance in the past. 03222013 / 1924 , �3 R. Wright #371 Approved By: Patrol, Downtown
