Parolee Punches Woman Holding Baby

Portsmouth Police Officers responded to 113 calls on Wednesday and Thursday. Among the highlights were a parolee who punched a woman holding a baby, several suspected ODs, and an incredibly confusing custody situation that I’m grateful I didn’t have to unravel.  Honestly, I’m still not sure what went down.

Plus, thankfully, first responders were on hand to help two very large individuals who took tumbles. The more of these reports I read, the more I appreciate everything they do. Let’s break it down into 10 easy slides.

But they weren’t done with Kroger yet.  An hour after that, a man who had been trespassed from the store came back looking for a backpack that he’d left there. Officers warned him not to come back. But they did get his backpack first.

Just after noon on Thursday, police received a call from Kroger about a man stumbling around inside the store. He was invited to leave.
