Law roundup: Man knows which dog ‘did the deed’

Two people with “a lot of bad history” got into a fight because one suspected the other had let his dog defecate on the other person’s property.

An ex-boyfriend refused to give belongings back to his former partner, including items she allegedly needed for an upcoming surgery. Then he told the dispatcher, he had “grown weary of this conversation” and hung up.

A blanket was discovered on top of a suitcase outside a library, and confusion ensued regarding the blanket’s owner.
