Law roundup: Neighbors seek to root out planter thief

Police responded to a call from a highly agitated woman who allegedly wanted law enforcement to arrest her husband without saying why. She claimed he showed up, was not welcome and had a wire in his hands that he could strangle her with. When dispatch asked her if he threatened to do that at any point in time she said, “No, but he could,” then the line went silent until dispatch disconnected. When dispatch got her back on the phone, she said he had a water bottle full of booze. Meanwhile, officers had a man on the phone, who wanted to go inside the residence to pick up items. Officers determined the incident entailed a verbal argument over what property belonged to whom. The couple was advised to gather items separately and go to civil court if they couldn’t agree on ownership.
