Hot spot. A man was arrested at Vice Ultra Lounge on Arroyo Way at 12:57 a.m. on suspicion of assault and an outside misdemeanor warrant. Arroyo Way was a hot spot for police: two women were arrested at 1:27 a.m., also on suspicion of assault.

Storage unit hit. A storage unit was burglarized on the 1200 block of Walker Avenue sometime in the past week. Two heaters, water and a cover for a leg cast were stolen.

Moving. Unnecessary moving expenses for a man on the 1100 block of Lincoln Avenue after $800 in quarters went missing. The man suspected the movers who were on site. A few hours later WCPD arrested a man on an outside warrant and are investigating if he was involved with the quarter theft.
