MISTAKES WERE MADE
2:46 a.m. — 0 block of South Tuttle Avenue
Trespass: An employee at a convenience store reported a theft in progress. She said she saw a man put a can of malt liquor into his pocket and walk past the register without paying. She tried to stop the man as he walked out the door. A customer tried to help the employee, and the two were able to get the can away from the man.
Another customer saw the scene, and thought the customer helping the employee was the individual committing the crime. The second customer punched the first customer in the face. He said he was also intervening to help the employee, and he thought he was making a citizen’s arrest on the first customer. The actual suspect fled the area, but an officer found him nearby. The officer told the suspect he was not welcome on the property anymore. The customer who got punched declined treatment and did not wish to prosecute the customer who punched him.
PARK PLACE
7:02 a.m. — 2500 block of Hillview Street
Misc. officer: A woman complained about a neighboring homeowner parking multiple vehicles on the street. The woman said another neighboring homeowner also parks his car across the street at the same location, which blocks traffic both ways. While an officer responded to the complaint, several other residents approached the officer to report the same problem. The road was not blocked when the officer arrived on the scene. The officer spoke to the homeowner in question and informed him about the complaints.
MIXED MESSAGE
4:49 p.m. — 2300 block of Waldemere Street
Dispute: A woman reported that her neighbor left a threatening letter in her mailbox regarding money he said she owed him. An officer read the letter and determined there was nothing threatening written. The neighbor said he planned to make a code enforcement complaint regarding a fence she tore down that was allegedly on his property.
SERVICE CALL
8 p.m. — 3700 block of Colby Street
Suspicion: An officer responded to a report regarding tampered phone lines. A woman said the security for her apartment complex had cut her phone lines. She said she was unable to make any calls because the phone indicated the line was in use. An officer told her the problem was likely with her phone service. The officer spoke with the security employee, who said he had not been to her apartment and did not know why her phones were not working.
