375, I'm confirming. He's saying that the gun-like object had orange on it, so it's possibly a firearm. 2.375, 225. We have probable cause for arrest. 2.375, probable cause by standard at 40th and 8. Tell me that he continued eastbound on 40th from 8th Street. Heading eastbound 40th, 23, 6th. 375, you got a description? 375. So, victim here is stating that he's possibly carrying a backpack or some sort of bag on him, I know in color. Otherwise, description matches what he did earlier? Any clothing description? White male, 6-2, bald, tan jacket. Heavy. I can see a transient behind the house over here who's probably going to be his friend that he said left, so. 3.30. If you follow 40th Eastbound all the way like East D Street, there's a break in offense, I assume a homeless encampment right now. I'll be checking it with another unit. 330, 284 is with me. He's saying possibly. 375. The jacket is very large, is what he's saying. 3.83 to 3.30 said his friend (name withheld) continued eastbound with possibly a girlfriend, but he stays in a tent somewhere off the overpass on 38. So I'm ahead over there and see. Yeah, that's where we're at currently right now. There's a couple tents set up with some people outside. Yep, his friend's name is (name withheld), so we're going to go ahead and ask. We'll be detaining, (name withheld). June 30, 30, detaining, 1209.
