Incident of the day
On March 20 at approximately 12 a.m., officers responded to a report of a person refusing to leave Starbucks located in the 1300 block of 3rd Street.
Upon arrival, officers spoke with an employee who stated that the suspect, later identified as Tanya Varilek, 37, of West Hollywood, frequents the establishment and frequently causes disturbances. When employees asked Varilek to leave on this particular day, she refused to do so.
When officers approached Varilek in an effort to get her to leave, she said she was doing official work to protect the officers and therefore could not leave.
After several failed attempts to get Varilek to leave the store, she was placed under arrest. She was booked for obstructing a public business establishment. Bail was set at $5,000.
