Ramirez returned to his garage, but noticed the subject did not walk past him. Ramirez returned to the alley and entered the neighboring apartment carport. He found the subject inside the carport standing next to an open storage locker holding a bottle of car oil. Ramirez asked the subject if he lived there. The man answered that he did and that he was doing an oil change and needed oil. Suspicious of the situation, Ramirez took a photo of the subject with his cell phone camera. At this time, the owner of the storage locker entered the carport and stated he did not know the subject. As Ramirez was looking at his phone to call the police, the subject used his upper body to forcibly bump into him and then threw the bottle of oil at Ramirez. Ramirez called the police and began to follow him. When police arrived, Ramirez provided them with the photo. Officers located the suspect and Ramirez identified him as the same person he saw in the carport. Ulric Ramirez is to be commended for his assistance, which led to the arrest of a burglary suspect.
