Law roundup: Patient ditches hospital to ‘play in traffic’

A man allegedly left the hospital “against medical advice” and then moved along by security when he was seen peeking into cars in the parking lot. Afterward, he was reportedly spotted in the middle of the road “playing in traffic.”

A woman walking to work was reportedly approached by a bald man with a black mustache and tattooed arms who “stared her down” while mumbling and swinging his arms. Afraid of being attacked, she allegedly yelled, “No,” as he came toward her and ran through the door of her workplace to safety. She requested extra patrol in the area as her coworkers also had to enter the business in an alley.

A bag filled with jewelry and two sets of women’s shoes were reportedly found on bleachers at a park.

A welfare check was requested on a man reportedly tearing up cloth into strips which he hung over a guardrail. He allegedly told the responding officer that he was "as OK as he could be" and didn’t need any assistance. 

A 4-year-old and a baby were allegedly left unsupervised in a parked van with the windows up.

A woman reportedly told an officer, who put a notice on her car, that she left her dog in a kennel inside her car for “not even an hour” from the timestamp on the notice to go to work, saying she was between housing and convinced her parents to take her dog. She said the excessive amount of property on top of the kennel was to “block the sun.” 

A woman was being threatened via Facebook by an individual she knew. An officer explained how to obtain a temporary restraining order. She also reported the issue to Facebook.
