A combination of oddities had an employee concerned for her safety. First, someone called the office and made weird sexual noises. Later on, a strange man came into the office. She said the workplace environment was too creepy and she planned on quitting the job.

Police responded to a report of a verbal disturbance at a gas station. A woman said she had a drink poured on her head, while the man had a bloody thumb he didn't want to talk about. Neither wanted to press charges and they agreed to separate for the night.

A brawl allegedly started when an off-shift employee swung a bat at another man, but whiffed. Somehow the other man ended up with the bat and he allegedly slugged the employee in the face. Medical assistance was requested.

Police requested assistance from a swat team for a disturbance with a weapon incident. A man allegedly threatened a woman with a gun and barricaded himself inside the home after law enforcement arrived.

A caller reported a skinny woman with her pants around her ankles. It appeared she was camped out nearby.

A woman driving a white Jeep was swerving all over the road.

Rowdy neighbors were counseled about speeding on motorcycles through an alley and doing doughnuts.

A woman called police while hiding in a bedroom following a physical confrontation with another woman. She said she hit the suspect with a hammer a couple of times before the suspect left.

A man on a bike was caught dumpster diving at a motel.

A customer at a box store claimed "secret shoppers" follow him around every time he goes there. He was banned from the business after he confronted one of the alleged mystery workers and refused to leave.

A hospital patient wanted police to respond “immediately” as she was allegedly being held against her will. Turns out, officers had taken her to the hospital early in the day.
