Guns and Drugs?

A woman called police just after noon to say that two men and a woman were after her. She claimed they were at the Oasis Convenient Mart and had drugs and guns on them. She said one of the men was after her because he wanted to have sex with her.

When police arrived, the subjects were gone. However, they had just had contact with one of the men half an hour earlier in connection with an argument on Mabert Road. When officers searched him at the time, he only had a pocket knife in his possession.

Whose Car is It?

Officers were called to Waller Street for a report of an abandoned black car. Police located the owner.

She advised them she sold the vehicle to a man. However, it was still in her name, so she is responsible for it.

Police transported her to pick up the vehicle.
