Special Message from Officer Veile:

All,

During the months of October and November, I’ve received many questions regarding the theft of catalytic converters, which are occurring everywhere in the City and County.  Most people are asking why?  Well, I think I have the answer.

The catalytic converter is located underneath your vehicle and contains a certain amount of precious metals including, Platinum, Palladium and even Rhodium.  Currently Platinum is $1,017.00 an ounce, Palladium $2,413.00 an ounce and my favorite, Rhodium is $15,700.00 an ounce.

I was informed that each catalytic converter contains 2-3 grams of one of these precious metals.  Stealing 3 or 4 of these converters becomes a pretty good payday especially if you get some Rhodium.  Here’s a fun fact, Rhodium was selling at $500 an ounce in 2003.

08/28/2020 17:11 28xx Watson, ASLT 3rd, 20-38916: 

I was directed by radio to 5120 Clayton in Forest Park to investigate an Assault Prior. I met Victim Cammatara, noting a swollen left eye and cheek, and an abrasion over the top of the left eye socket, and a dark bruise under the left eye.

Cammatara stated he left “The Tavern at Clifton Heights” after the establishment closed at 11:00 pm. He noted three people standing near his car, one white female and two white males. Cammatara stated their presence made him nervous because he has many enemies.  Cammatara called out, “Get away from my car”. He continued to walk toward his vehicle to the passenger side where the female was standing.

Cammatara stated the female and he began arguing, although he did not remember any of the content of what was said. At one point, one male dressed in a black shirt and black pants began to walk aggressively toward him, however the forward progress of the male was blocked by the female whom Cammatara was arguing with.

Cammatara stated suddenly, he was sucker punched from behind and knocked unconscious. Cammatara stated as regained conscious, he tried to get up but felt restrained, as one of the males grabbed his arms, dragged him an unknown distance, and dropped him on the ground at which time he was punched several times in the face and body, and possibly kicked, but was not sure of all details. Cammatara stated he lost conscience again, regained a semi alert state and did not see his assailants. Cammatara then called 911 and began advising of several license plate numbers of vehicles still on the parking lot.

Cammatara is unsure of any description of the male that sucker punched him other than a white male.

Cammatara stated he never sought medical attention.  He advised he might be able to identify the subject in the black shirt and black pants. Cammatara stated he could not identify the subject that sucker punched him.

An inspection of Netviewer confirmed his 911 call per P2008271107. Notes in that call indicate Cammatara stated someone had his car guarded and an argument was heard in the background, and that Cammatara stated he was jumped on. Several license plates are also typed into the call notes. Also in the call notes was second caller (Victoria)who advised of a fight between 2 male subjects.

I contacted that phone number in the notes, 314-488-3685, but there was no answer.

A second call to 911 was made per P2008271110, in which Cammatara reported being assaulted by a group of people but refused medical attention.

I responded to 2817 Watson Rd, The Tavern at Clifton Heights and located witness Cook. He stated he was not present on the night of the incident but had been informed about it. He indicated he had talked with Cammatara and told him he had seen the video and invited Cammatara to come over and watch it. Cooke stated he was informed by employees that Cammatara entered the establishment and was refused service and then left. Cook looked at the video, advising that there is no audio and Cammatara and female appear to be arguing. Cook stated that Cammatara appears to contact the female. Cook stated Cammatara moved aggressively toward one of the males, who then struck him, and Cammatara fell to the ground. Cook stated the other male then sat on Cammatara`s body for about 30 – 45 seconds. Cook stopped watching at that point. Cook did not recall any clothing descriptions

Cooke states his system is new and he does not know how to operate it but will call the company that installed it and produce a video.

No witnesses were located.  Cammatara advised he will assist with any prosecution.

Witness provided the following statement: “I was driving northbound on Hampton, when I saw a white male and white female wrestling on the Circle K. parking lot.  The female was attempting to get away from the male, but he had ahold of her arm refusing to let go.  I parked my vehicle on the parking lot and separated the male and female.”

Victim Samantha B. provided the following statement:  She was driving home with Joshua S. in the front passenger seat on westbound on I-44, when they began arguing.   He got angry and started punching her in the face.  Victim exited the highway onto Hampton and pulled onto the Circle K. parking lot.  While on the parking lot, Joshua S. grabbed B.`s phone out of her purse (which was hanging from her neck) and refused to give it back to her.  They both got out of the vehicle and Joshua S. threw her phone onto the ground shattering the screen.  Joshua S. pushed the victim onto the ground, punched her numerous times in the face, and the back of her head.  Victim attempted to get up and get away from Joshua S., but he wouldn`t allow her to get up or escape the situation.

Victim was bleeding from her right knee, a small bump on the right side of her face, and two broken acrylic fingernails.  There appeared to be a bump on the back of her head, but her hair prevented me from observing it.

Victim and Joshua S. have been in a romantic relationship for two years, but do not have any children together.

A REJIS inquiry of Joshua S. revealed an active wanted card out of District 1 for “Domestic Assault 4th,” “Assault 4th,” and “Destruction of Private Property.”  Victim Blosser is one of the victims in that incident as well.
