Police Log: Two Arrested During Sex Offender Compliance Check

A birthday party gone wrong-

James Diel, 51, of 311 Logee St. and Angela Victoria Burgos, 25, of 485 Park Ave. were arrested this week during a sex offender compliance check for Clyde Ewing at 324 Willow St. According to reports, when officers approached the apartment building where Ewing is registered, they were greeted by several individuals sitting on the porch and a strong smell of marijuana. Diel allegedly told police he had just finished smoking the drug and showed them the remainder of his burnt marijuana cigarette.

Another member of the group, Burgos, reportedly appeared very nervous and when officers ran her name, they found a warrant for her arrest. Burgos then became emotional and started choking and crying, reports state. She then walked to the side of the porch and vomitted. As police went over to arrest the suspect, they noticed a baggy of heroin on the ground in the area where Burgos had just spit up.

Beside the spot where Diel had been sitting, officers located a tin, containing a golf ball-sized chunk of marijuana with a birthday card on top, signed "Clyde and Doris." Diel was arrested for possession of marijuana and Burgos was arrested for a warrant and posession of narcotics.
