Law roundup: Group hits the road, vexed passenger hits the car

A passenger reportedly got out of a small brown SUV full of people and dogs and began punching the window. 

Officers responded to a woman who called 911 to report plants stolen off her porch yet she didn’t answer the door or phone when contacted.  

A man allegedly ordered a sandwich, didn’t pay for it, and threw it at the employee before leaving. 

A woman drove by a man and reportedly mistook the stack of cups he held for a five-inch fixed blade/knife, saying he was waving it around.  

Store security asked officers to advise a woman with tattoos around one eye and gray hair tied in a bun she was permanently banned from the property when she was allegedly seen “skip scanning” (not scanning or pretending to scan items) at a self-checkout register. The store said she was a repeat offender and had two teens with her.  

Two shirtless men in their 20s to 30s reportedly tried passing a vehicle on the shoulder of U.S. 93 and threw stuff at the vehicle before turning onto the bypass. Officers detained the men, and one was taken to jail after confirming multiple warrants. 

A small grass fire was allegedly spreading down a hill toward Woodland Park. 

A shirtless man wearing a hat backward allegedly yelled at a woman who screamed, “Stop.” Then, he reportedly yelled at children on a playground and pointed at someone, who called the police, saying he was going to beat them up. The pair were counseled about their disorderly behavior. 

Three men were allegedly passing small bags back and forth in a park and someone thought they were dealing drugs. 

Dispatch called back a phone number from a 911 hangup and couldn’t get through a phone tree recording to reach a person. Eventually, they made it through the woods and an employee confirmed everything was OK.
