Man With A Gun Jumps Through Backyards
On April 29, when officers responded to the area of San Fernando Blvd. and Grismer Ave. regarding a fight that had occurred at McCambridge Park, the police dispatchers began receiving numerous calls from residents about a man jumping over fences and running through backyards. One caller said the man pulled out a gun and waved it at them.
A search of the area turned up a suspect in the 1700 block of Grismer St. He had discarded the gun, but offices later recovered it. The weapon was stolen. The suspect, Daniel Cornick, 23, of Burbank, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, and for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. His bail was set at $35,000.
Carjacker Gets Ride In Police Car Instead
A would be carjacker ended up getting a ride in a police car — directly to jail. On April 29, around 5 p.m., two men sitting in a car in the 600 block of E.

The robber then demanded the victims’ cell phones, finally grabbing the driver’s phone out of his hands. The two men were then able to get away from the robber by driving away. They immediately called the Burbank Police. Officers conducted a search of the area and located a man matching the suspect’s description at Orange Grove Ave., and Seventh St.
The man, Albert Miramontes, 41, of Huntington Park, still had the victim’s stolen cell phone in his possession when police contacted him. He was placed under arrest for robbery and booked into the Burbank Jail. His bail was set at $50,000.
