Oct. 10 No shirt, no shoes ... 12:28 a.m. - 1900 block of Hillview Street. Trespassing. A nightclub patron began to hassle other customers and was asked to leave. He did, but then returned later and began bothering people again. Employees asked him to leave once more. This time, he refused. He took off his shoes and starting arguing with the employees. Police were called. An officer tried to get the man's side of the story, but the man yelled and cursed at the workers and ignored the officer. He finally calmed down and was issued a trespassing warning.
