(Caller) reported that someone threw cake onto her garage door. There was no suspect information or permanent damage.

A tailgate was stolen.

On 5-10-11, police were dispatched to a robbery which had occurred in (a north county park). Investigation revealed no robbery had occurred, a male had lost his money, panicked about losing his job and decided to make up a story.

(Caller) reported hearing strange animal sounds outside his front door. The officer discovered two recently born kittens on the door step.

Officers responded to (an apartment complex) and met with the manager of the apartment complex. The manager was getting an empty unit ready for new occupants, and she discovered packages of an unknown substance in one of the cabinets. The packages were turned over to the officers and tested positive for cocaine, meth and heroin.

Officers were called to a disturbance between roommates. One was threatening the other with a knife, while the other was in his locked bedroom with a gun for protection. Both males were arrested for aggravated assault and taken to the county jail.
