Malvern Police Blotter: Closing Time

Assault… On Aug. 14, police received a call of a fight in progress at Flying Pig Saloon, 121 E. King St., at 1:57 a.m. A patron, Giovanny R. Almada, 32, of the 200 block of Church Street in Malvern, was evidently intoxicated and refusing to leave the bar. Almada had reportedly attempted to strike the bartender, missed and incurred possible injuries due to a fall. He also behaved violently toward the responding police officer and the hospital personnel at Paoli Hospital, where he was taken for treatment. He was charged with aggrevated assault for knowingly causing injury to the officer, who required a tetanus shot for a cut on his hand, and simple assault for the swing at the bartender. He was also charged with making terroristic threats, resisting arrest, defiant trespass, harassment, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.

Fraud... On Aug. 15, at 5:15 p.m., a man reported that he'd lost his wallet on a train the previous day before arriving at the Malvern station. By the time he called his credit card company, the account had already been used to make purchases.
