A drunk man allegedly hit his friend in a hotel elevator.  

An electric bicycle with a few missing parts was reportedly ditched by a dumpster. A man told officers he saw the occupants of two vehicles parked in the lot working on it. The bike was taken in by officers for safekeeping after the serial number didn’t lead to any records of ownership.  

A welfare check was requested for a man reportedly slumped over the wheel of a black Range Rover that was taking up two parking spaces. The vehicle was gone by the time officers arrived.

Someone wanted to speak to an officer about an ex-spouse who, for three years, had allegedly been “hiding” a vehicle that was supposed to be theirs after the divorce, saying that at this point it constituted theft. It was determined the issue was a civil matter that would need to be brought before the judge who issued the divorce decree.
