Here’s a few months worth of funny or funnyish police blotter entries from around the county. They’ve been lurking around my desktop waiting for an opportune moment that hasn’t come. Enjoy.

(Caller) reported that his neighbor was digging around in his garbage can and was concerned about possible identity theft. The officer contacted the neighbor who said that he was just sorting the neighbor’s recyclables for him.

RP reported four juvenile males possibly stole something from the cellar area of (a local church) and left in a Mustang or Honda. The subjects advised her they were from the Boy Scouts and removed tables and chairs which belonged to the church. No sign of forced entry. She was advised to have the church contact the PD if anything was actually stolen.

A 41-year-old male was contacted after his brother reported the male threw a deep fryer through the window. Officers arrived on scene to find the aggressors to be extremely intoxicated. The male was upset with his brother because he requested he turn his music down. Charges were referred to the prosecutor.

A citizen came into the PD to request a check on a firearm he had just purchased, (serial number redacted), saying the deal was too good to be true. The gun came back as being stolen, so it was confiscated for the proper law enforcement contact.

RP reported that the business’s kegs were for sale on Craigslist. He said their kegs are rented out with a cash deposit and are not available to purchase. Any of their kegs for sale must have been stolen. He explained that the kegs are “loaned out” and a deposit is charged which is returned when the kegs are returned. RP has no idea who has not returned kegs.

RP reported finding what appeared to be a cylinder from a revolver in her backyard. The cylinder was actually a “Bullet Grinder” which, according to the manufacturer, is used to grind herbs. It was booked into evidence as found property.

RP reported a large loose dog near the above location. She said that the dog looks like “Marmaduke.” He was not located.
