Can’t We All Just Get Along

  • Police were called to Center Street at 12:14 am for a report of people fighting. When they got there, the female half of the argument told them the man had left and that the fight was just verbal. Police advised them to quiet down.
  • At 2 am, officers were called to High Street for people yelling behind a vacant house.
  • Callers informed police that multiple people were outside their vehicles on 10th Street. The people were allegedly accusing each other of cutting in line.  Police advised them to behave.

Kendall Avenue Confidential

  • A caller told police that two young boys were trying to get into the window of an apartment on Kendall Avenue at 4:45 am. When officers arrived, they found an open window with a closed screen. With no evidence of a crime, the officers let it go.
  • A few minutes later at 5:02 am, police received another report from Kendall Avenue of two men following a woman.
  • Police were called to Woodbine Apartments just after 2 pm for a report of a man beating a woman. They were unable to locate them.
  • Just before 8 pm, a caller told police that a woman with a 10-year-old boy had passed out. The boy told officers his mom was just upset and crying.  The woman confirmed to the police that she was crying due to relationship issues.

Deep Sleep

Officers responded to 24th Street just before 11 am for a welfare check. A customer had a hair appointment with the resident but the woman didn’t show up at work.

When she knocked on the door, there was no answer.

Police were able to rouse the woman who was just in a deep sleep.

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.

House Check

  • Officers stopped by a condemned High Street House and noted that it needed to be re-secured and that the grass was four feet tall.
  • They also found several other cases of tall grass on High and Summit Streets.
  • Police checked out a condemned house on Timmonds and noted it needed to be boarded as well as the burned house in need of attention. They also noted several grass complaints.
