Here’s a roundup of some of the funnier police blotter bits from around the county the last few weeks. Identifying details have been removed.

(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.

On 5-26-11, two students in (the street) were joking with each other. The jokes turned personal, and one of the students threw a bag of sliced apples at the other student.

On 5-31-11, a 26-year-old Montana man was booked for Criminal Trespass 1st and Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer in (a movie theater). He was intoxicated and became angry when staff asked him not to bring his beer into a movie.

(Dispatchers) reported a 911 hang up with an open line with nothing heard that came from the residence. On callback the resident said her daughter was distraught and wanting to drive. Officers determined daughter had quit her job today and planned to move to California to become famous.

The officer was dispatched to an area check for two reportedly intoxicated females crossing (the road) into the parking lot. The officer determined the subjects were two sober employees walking to work. One acknowledged she had “danced” across the street while in the crosswalk.

RP reported the sounds of a possible DV coming from the apartment below her. Officers contacted the residents, who were having a birthday party sleepover and just being loud. They agreed to keep the noise down.
