A man from Oregon allegedly met "some lady" at a gas station where they ate lunch and went to “some apartment” where they picked up her 19-year-old daughter. When he dropped them off, they reportedly went inside and came back out when he thought he saw a gun in the daughter's waistband. He told officers that the daughter “freaked out" when he told them he was calling the police and wanted the incident documented.  

Three people reportedly got into a fight where a gun was pointed by “graffiti rock” and a Woodland Park pavilion. Parties were separated and the altercation was deemed verbal only. 

A manager was counseled on when to call 911, when he reportedly requested extra patrol about suspicious activity that was not in progress.  He alleged that every few days a red, and dirty GMC pickup with a snowplow attached to the front — and sometimes a trailer attached to the back — cases the back of the building. The driver will try the door and peruse delivered items out on palettes, then does some shopping on a five-finger discount. The manager said after two weeks more than $10,000 was stolen in doors, windows, special deliveries and other merchandise. 

Officers responded to a call from a building owner who allegedly found a broken window and was unsure if someone was inside. Officers cleared the building. 

A woman reportedly assaulted by a neighbor’s son told officers she thought he also popped her tire and banged on her window. 

Two trustees of an organization were suspicious over potential discrepancies in the amount of money accumulated over the weekend and the amount collected in bank rolls and deposited by a secretary. They were unsure if any money was taken but wanted officers to respond, saying the organization's typical policy was having funds triple-checked before deposit. Officers advised them to call back after double-checking their point-of-sale system and receipts against the deposit. 

A casino manager asked officers for assistance in moving along a yellow van with two barking dogs when they didn’t get any response after knocking on the blacked-out windows. 

A scooter was reportedly stolen from someone’s front porch.
