Who Let The Dogs Out?

At 11:33 am, police received a report of two loose dogs in the area of Timmonds Avenue and 20th Street. Witnesses described one as a German Shepherd and the other as a brown dog. The dogs were harassing a mail carrier. The dogs had left by the time police arrived.

Determined Aunt

Just before 10:30 am, an aunt told police she needed to speak to an officer about retrieving her nephew’s property from a home he shared with his girlfriend. She said the girlfriend will not let them take his belongings. Officers explained they can’t divide up belongings

At 2 pm, police stood by to keep the peace when the aunt came to pick up the property. The resident asked the aunt to leave and she became aggressive.

Police explained again that it was a civil matter. They advised the aunt that her only option is to request the property and that police cannot assist in removing the property.

Hey! That’s My Stuff

Angry Ex Calling

A man called the police at 3:30 pm to report a phone threat. He said a man called his office and asked if he were in. When he said that he was, the man said he was an ‘angry ex-boyfriend’ and hung up the phone.

He thought he knew who the caller was and asked police to drive by his house and make sure no one was there.

Barefoot and Hungry at Kroger

Just before 7 pm, a caller reported a “crackhead” running around the Kroger parking lot grabbing things out of buggies and attempting to eat them.

They also reported the man kept taking his shoes off and on. Officers advised the man to leave and Kroger filled out the form to bar him from the property.

The man returned at 10:30 pm. This time, the caller thought he was carrying a knife and appeared to be on drugs. Police took him into custody.

Family In Need

When officers answered a call at 8:40 pm to help a 94-year-old woman after a fall, they discovered a sad situation.

The woman served as a caretaker for her 59-year-old disabled daughter. Police said there were heaps of trash, papers, and other items strewn throughout the house with just a path cleared for a chair and a refrigerator.

Police notified adult protective services and arranged for both women to be transported to the hospital.
