Law roundup: There’s a new sheriff in town

Someone's agitated upstairs neighbor allegedly yelled out the window that he was a sheriff and was on the phone with law enforcement. Responding officers told him to keep it down, through the open window, because he reportedly refused to open the door. 

Two drunk men allegedly got into a blue Ford truck and drove away with a door open and a bottle of Fireball visible inside the vehicle. 

Someone called 911 to thank the officers for responding to an incident, saying “They are awesome.” The dispatcher advised the caller to use the police department’s non-emergency phone number next time, though the compliment was appreciated. 

A caller voiced concerns after seeing a silver pickup filled with youths parked in a back lot of a vacant motel because there had been break-ins. The truck then parked in an apartment building lot before parking on the east side of the motel where they got out. Officers made contact with four youths, told them they were trespassing and followed them back to an apartment building. 

A woman’s ex allegedly punched a man in the face four times. 

A woman called to complain about a group of 10 who were standing outside and “cussing people out.” Wanting to emphasize her agitation, she reportedly kept repeating they were being loud, disruptive and using foul language and noted the rowdy people “had just moved in.” 

A large orange construction sign reportedly fell into the passing lane on the U.S. 93 Bypass and someone moved it to the ditch so it wouldn’t block traffic.
