A mail carrier allegedly backed into a Jeep and almost hit a resident before driving away. An employee at the location reportedly told officers the mail carrier seemed frantic, stressed and angry. Officers contacted the driver who purportedly thought he did not need to stay since the damage (a scuff mark) was minimal. The officer educated him that he should have stayed.  

A front desk manager called the police alleging a man hadn’t paid for his room and cut a main water line to the room, flooding it. They said he was also harassing guests and had been asked to leave.  

A woman wearing a tank top and sweatpants reportedly knocked on someone’s door for an hour. The resident called the authorities, wanting her to go away. They told officers that she had been there yesterday and thought she might be “on something.”  

Officers later received a call about a woman in her 20s who was dressed in pants and a sports bra and knocking on someone’s back door saying she was cold and wanted to use the shower. The resident said she seemed confused and thought she had a mental health issue.  

A young female, who looked to be in her teens, allegedly showed up at someone’s house asking to use the phone. She reportedly took her pants off, saying she came from the hospital, and asked if the resident had any weed or cigarettes. The resident gave her a pair of pants to put on and asked officers to check on her, thinking she might be having a mental health or drug issue. Officers dropped her off at home and told her to stay put. 

Someone in a white truck reportedly slashed the tires on a woman’s vehicle.  

A man allegedly standing on a porch wearing a tie-dyed face covering was ticketed for trespassing.  

A man was taken to jail for reportedly trespassing and resisting when he broke into a woman’s van and tried to sleep there. The woman alleged that he had a mental health condition and hoped he wouldn’t give officers trouble, but was worried he would “freeze to death and kept saying she wanted him “charged for trespassing.”  

A green Chevy pickup was allegedly abandoned behind a store.  

A resident complained that a neighbor piled snow on their property, alleging they were trespassing around midnight.  

A woman called officers alleging her ex refused to let her in the house to get her necklace.  

A man reportedly drove a commercial vehicle without a commercial driver’s license.
