Details According To The Police Report

According to the Police Report CR-00370-22, Blotter/CC 002503 sent to A Little Beacon Blog via FOIA request, the following details were learned:

Officer Tyler Rath was one of the responding officers and wrote the Police Report, which described the scene with the man, later identified as SU Gevork Muradyan, who was wearing a backpack and seemed to be under the influence. According to the report, there as gas station property destroyed and littered throughout the store. An itemized report detailed the items included flare ammunition, spare phone battery, toothbrush t-shirt, and other items.

According to the officer, Muradyan’s face was in ice cream cooler, and he was "writhing around." Officer Garofolo assisted Officer Rath with approaching the man to remove him from the store and place him into handcuffs.

"Muradyan was observed to be bleeding from a laceration on his forehead and was moaning incoherently and not responding when asked by officers to what he had taken.” Muradyan was unable to walk and had to be escorted out of the gas station by officers where his backpack was removed.

When the officers searched Muradyan, they retrieved a loaded flare gun from his right pants pocket. Officers put him into the car, as they stated that he could not put himself into the car "due to his current mental state."

When Muradyan reached police HQ in their marked unit #5, EMS had been called to evaluate him. His vitals were fine, but he still seemed under the influence. When asked what he had taken, he responded "Meow meow."

Officer Rath rode with Muradyan in the ambulance to St. Lukes for further evaluation. Detective Sergeant Jason Johnson and Sergeant O'Connor processed the scene, and Officer Rath retrieved Muradyan's bicycle that was left in the front of the store. The bike was placed into the Beacon Police Department's Evidence Room "for safe keeping."

It was estimated that there was in excess of $1,500 in property damage which included a damaged cash register and gas station property. The officers got statements from the gas station for a future arrest warrent.
