Someone calling from Stoner Loop in Lakeside reported a man who had supposedly been in a parking lot for “at least an hour” and was getting “really close” to vehicles and flipping people off, which was “not cool” with the caller and they wanted a deputy to tell the man “to knock it off and leave.”

A shop on Cedar Drive in Evergreen was reportedly broken into and a gun, bullets, air pistols, a “very large stereo system,” stolen.

A woman was allegedly standing behind the Lakeside post office on U.S. 93 and “going to the bathroom in the parking lot.”

A man on U.S. 93 in Lakeside was reportedly driving around a building and acting strange. Someone allegedly watched him smoke crack in his truck and drive around the building.
