Suspicious Activity
Police were called to the Speedway at 7 am for a report of a man cussing out employees because they refused to cash his lottery ticket due to the lack of a bar code. He left before the police arrived.
Car Hits 9th Street House
A vehicle ran into a 9th Street home just after 8 am. Officers notified PMHA about damage to the home, City Services about damage to a street sign, and sewer maintenance about damage to the manhole at 9th and Grimes.
Police also took information for a report.
Landlord Accused of Stealing Vehicle
A woman contacted police to claim that her former landlord stole her husband’s vehicle.
The landlord explained that his former tenants left the vehicle behind when they moved and that police advised him to have it removed from his property by a tow company. The vehicle was now located at the tow company.
The woman was not pleased to hear that information. The landlord claimed the couple stole a new furnace and damaged the inside of the property. Police advised the landlord it was a civil matter.
The landlord called back at 11:30 am to report a neighbor told him the couple was attempting to gain entry to the property.
It turned out to be new prospective tenants instead of the previous ones.
