A branch manager allegedly opened a night drop box and found drugs inside. 

A man was reportedly walking his dog outside a hotel room when a random husky mix attacked his dog and bit his leg, which was gushing blood. He applied pressure to the wound and got the bleeding under control. He did not want officers to investigate and asked EMS to knock before entering as he had a “military canine” in the room. 

A concerned neighbor allegedly called officers on behalf of a man who they thought was too distraught over being scammed out of $400,000 online to gather all the details to report it.  

Someone reportedly came upon an electric scooter with a purple rope on the right handle.

A woman was allegedly concerned about an upstairs neighbor when she heard a man screaming at what she thought were family members. Officers spoke to a man and woman who said it was an argument on the phone. 

A man reporting his headphones as stolen allegedly told officers if he couldn’t find them he would need to go to jail because he wouldn’t be able to sleep. He reportedly was experiencing mental health issues and begged officers to take him to jail saying his bags were packed. Officers told him to take a deep breath and try retracing his steps to find them, borrow a set, or buy one the next day because he was not going to jail. 

Someone reportedly found a disoriented English bulldog with no tags and put it in their backyard.
