Tempe Police reported the following incidents Sunday:
A 32-year-old Phoenix woman was arrested March 16 on the 1700 block of East La Jolla Drive on suspicion of aggravated assault of a police officer, according to a police report.
Officers were initially called to the area because the woman was trying to drive home intoxicated, police reported. The person calling police was keeping her keys from her which caused her to become upset and yell obscenities, according to the report.
When the officers arrived she was yelling the obscenities at the caller but soon began yelling at the two officers, police reported.
The officers warned her that she could be arrested for disorderly conduct and the woman continued to yell and throw her hands up, according to a police report.
The woman called her friend to pick her up and momentarily calmed down, police reported. She became aggravated again and violently approached one of the officers on the scene while yelling obscenities and calling him “little man,” according to the report.
The woman walked up to the officer and “chest bumped” him and then violently charged toward him with her hands up, police reported. The officer pushed her against the car and placed her under arrest, according to the report.
She continued to yell as she was being transported to Tempe City Jail and, while being searched at the jail, she kicked backwards violently at the officer, striking them, police reported.
She was booked into jail and held to see a judge, according to the report.
A Phoenix man was arrested March 19 on the 100 block of West 7th Street on suspicion of unlawful use of means of transportation, according to a police report.
The man was arrested in a Chase Bank parking structure after he knowingly took a vehicle that belonged to the restaurant where he worked, police reported.
The restaurant staff told officers they never gave him permission to take the vehicle other than to park it for the night inside the parking structure, according to a police report.
He took the car for about 24 hours before returning it to the parking garage, police reported.
The man admitted that he knew he was not following the instructions given to him and was misusing the vehicle, but he told officers he took it to the area of Dorsey Lane and University Drive, parked it overnight and brought it back the next day, police reported.
After searching the vehicle, officers said they think the man had been living out of the vehicle because his clothing and toiletry items were scattered throughout the front of the car, police reported.
The man was transported to Tempe City Jail, where he was booked and held to see a judge, according to the report.
