Female Arrested for Battery After Unprovoked Assault
On March 4 at approximately 2 a.m., GPD officers were dispatched to the Glendale Fashion Center located on the 200 block of North Glendale Avenue regarding a female who was screaming. The reporting party recognized this female as the same person who had been involved in the unprovoked assault that occurred at the same location on the morning of March 2. While officers were responding to the scene, the screaming female, later identified as 33-year-old Margarida Eshan of Glendale, ran from the location on foot. GPD officers located Eshan nearby and detained her pending further investigation. GPD officers recognized Eshan as the suspect from the March 2 attack from screen shots that were obtained of Eshan from Glendale Fashion Center security cameras.
Eshan was found to be in possession of Social Security cards and EBT cards belonging to other people as well as heroin. It was also discovered that Eshan had multiple outstanding warrants for battery, identity theft and petty theft. Eshan was subsequently arrested and booked for battery, identity theft and possession of a controlled substance as well as for her outstanding warrants. Eshan remained in custody due to the bail on her warrants.
