Caregivers' quarrel
8:13 a.m. — 500 block of Golf Links Lane
Disturbance: Two caregivers got into a physical fight after one confronted the other for bumping into her. After two co-workers broke up the fight, one of the women retrieved a stun gun from her purse and threatened to tase the three, then drove to a nearby gas station and called police. Police were unable to obtain a statement from the owners of the home where the incident occurred because the couple has Alzheimer's disease. Police notified the agency the caregivers work for, along with the couple's legal guardian. None of the parties needed medical attention. A bathroom scale was broken during the fight.

The man called the driver's company and was told to file a police report.
