Law roundup: Parking lot the scene of a horror movie or crime

An assistant manager allegedly reported a couple arguing in the parking lot yesterday and that the cleaning crew found a bloody sheet today. It was unknown if the situations were related.

Someone reportedly called 911 when a man holding a bat began pounding on the neighbor’s door across the street, yelling that he was going to break them in half. He also tried to hit a window with the bat.

A custodian reported a stocky man peeking in the windows of a building. The employee described him as wearing shorts, a plaid short-sleeved button-up shirt and white baseball cap — also known as retired-dad-on-vacation attire.

People allegedly piled chairs in front of a bar’s emergency exit and left in a gray or silver Subaru. An employee said the people, who sounded like a group of teenagers, had been messing with the building on an ongoing basis such as opening windows from outside and tossing items into the bar.

Someone was concerned that a man was being scammed and called the police. Officers met with the man who reportedly sent $9,000 to a woman in New York and was trying to send another $9,000 to “pay off taxes” on his alleged winnings of $19 million, a Mercedes and $7,000 a week. Officers tried to contact his son and left a message before reaching out to Adult Protective Services.

An argumentative woman reportedly found a red merle Australian shepherd in a parking lot and refused to bring the dog to the shelter, claiming she already posted to social media about it and saying she would keep the dog if no one came forward. Officers arrived at her residence where her 18-year-old son gave them the dog. He was told she could leave her information to adopt it if the owner didn’t claim it.

Someone who had to work in the morning complained about a noisy party with underage drinking going on.
