Law roundup: Scantily dressed man just working on his tan

A naked man, who might have been in his skivvies, was allegedly lying on a bench, accompanied by a woman, near a trailhead. The individual who called out the alleged indecent exposure was “very concerned for their safety.” Officers spoke to a group of people by a trestle bridge who hadn’t spotted the naked man. When they found him, he was wearing shorts and reportedly working on his suntan and eating lunch.   

Officers received a later call about a man lying in the woodchips in front of storage units and a passerby was concerned he may not be doing well. He was OK, just snoozing in the woodchips. He continued on his way.   

A man was walking his two dogs when a shaggy-haired German shepherd reportedly jumped its fence and attacked his canine companions when the owner came out, pulling the German shepherd away. The man said it was the third time this had happened and wanted officers to talk to the dog owner to prevent another occurrence because he didn’t want to have to mace the dog in self-defense.   

Later, officers spoke to a man who alleged that his dog was friendly and “just wanted to say hi,” adding that the other man kicked at his dog, so he “had words with him.” He was counseled on city ordinances, vicious dog petitions and options to contain the aggressively friendly dog. He reportedly said he was getting a new E-collar system to prevent his dog from getting out.   

Someone didn’t feel safe around a man in a parked blue Ram that sat idling from 8:45 a.m. to the time they called the police after 1 p.m. The truck was legally parked.   

A woman allegedly heard a dog “crying” for 20 minutes and called the police.    

A woman suspected a man with a tattooed neck who was driving a silver sedan of stealing mail out of her mailbox.
