LIQUID SNAKE

Property Damage: A man discovered a small discoloration on the trunk of his car. The man said he covers his car every day and parks it in front of his house when he’s not using it. He believed an unknown subject poured an unknown liquid onto the vehicle. An officer confirmed there was a very small blue mark on the trunk of the car, but the man was unable to provide any information on who may have been responsible.

NOISE CONTROL
3:10 a.m. — 900 block of John Ringling Boulevard
Property Damage: A woman was with her boyfriend in their car, which was parked in a parking lot. Several other cars in the area were playing loud music, so the boyfriend laid on the car horn until one of the subjects came over to the vehicle. The boyfriend asked the man to turn down the music, but the man walked back to the group and turned the music back up.

The boyfriend yelled out of the window to turn the music back down, at which point another man walked over to the car and slapped the window with his hands. The man walked back to the group and threw a bottle at the car, cracking the windshield and passenger side mirror. Officers were unable to locate a man matching the description given.

Sept. 5

WET AND WILD
4:24 p.m. — 1500 block of North Orange Avenue
Property Damage: A man was driving down the street when a water balloon struck his car, knocking the passenger side mirror off the vehicle. The man said he nearly lost control of the car, but he was able to stay on the roadway. He said children playing nearby threw the balloon. An officer made contact with the large group of children playing with water balloons, and they said they did not throw any at a car. The officer advised them to be sure not to throw anything at moving vehicles, because it is very dangerous and they could get in trouble.

CLEANING HOUSE
6:31 p.m. — 1900 block of Eighth Street
Dispute: A woman said her landlord refused to return her security deposit after her lease ended because he did not think the home was clean enough. An officer informed her that this dispute was a civil matter, and she would have to go to small claims court to handle the issue.
