WASILLA — A man showed up in four police reports this past week — three trespassing charges and one cameo appearance at a friend’s arrest for exposing his derriere in public.
The first time Shaquille Bell, 20, is mentioned in Wasilla Police Department reports for last week was Oct. 6 when he was arrested for trespassing at Carrs.
The next two arrests come on the same day, first at 2:34 a.m., Oct. 10 and the second time at 5:28 p.m. His bail steadily increased from $0 his first arrest to $250 on his second and $500 on his third.
Court records show he’s apparently a serial trespasser. In addition to his three recently opened Valley cases there are three open Anchorage cases, two of which are for trespassing, both filed Oct. 4. The third is a misdemeanor assault case filed November 2012.
As for the cameo in his friend’s case, Wasilla police Sgt. Chris Watchus writes in documents filed in court that on the afternoon of Oct. 7, he was sent to Lucille Street and Nelson Avenue for a report of “an intoxicated male stumbling into the road and almost being hit by a vehicle.”
Watchus showed up and talked to Tylor Anderson, 49, eventually letting him go and telling him not to walk in the street. An hour later, he was sent to an address on nearby Willow Street for a report of two men smoking marijuana.
Anderson was one of the men, Bell the other.
“They both appeared high on something. I asked them if they had been smoking marijuana. Anderson said no to smoking marijuana but did state they had just smoked some spice,” Anderson writes, using the generic street term for a certain class of semi-legal synthetic intoxicants meant to mimic the effects of marijuana.
He let them go again only to be called back to deal with them a third time an hour later, this time by Nunley Park on Herning Street.
Again, the call was for someone stumbling into the road, this time two men. Both Anderson and Bell had apparently almost been hit.
“As I was talking to the complainant I observed Anderson pull his pants down to his knees as if he was going to urinate, and expose his buttocks. I contacted Anderson and placed him under arrest for disorderly conduct,” Watchus writes.
As of Saturday afternoon jail records showed Anderson had been released on his own recognizance but Bell was still in custody at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility.
