Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Ingleside Station SFPD makes sweet little drug bust
This comes to us courtesy ofCapt. David Lazar, SFPD, commanding officer ofIngleside Station. . Officers Lewis and Chew were nominated by Sergeant Timothy Paine for a Captain's Complementary Report for a Great drug arrest! .
Officers Lewis and Chew noticed a driver of a vehicle talking on his cell phone and made a traffic stop.When the very nervous driver complied with the orders to produce his registration, both officers saw a bottle in a plastic bag in the glove box. During a recent assignment on a foot beat, a proprietor of a smoke shop showed Officer Chew a 'stash bottle.' This is a bottle designed to look and feel like a normal soda bottle but has a hidden compartment within. . Knowing this, the officers asked the driver about the bottle. The driver tried to hide it and instead fumbled to reveal a small zip-loc style bag that every officer recognizes as being used to store narcotics. The officers seized the bag and discovered 38 tablets of suspected ecstasy for sale. .
The stash bottle contained another 57 identical tablets of suspected ecstasy neatly packaged for sale. The driver was promptly arrested..These officers used their newly developed skills and recent assignments to turn a simple traffic violation into a fairly large narcotics seizure of almost 100 ecstasy tablets! .
