My online source for small town police blotters changed while we were in Italy so I wasn’t able to go through the two weeks we missed.
Here’s the strangest and funniest entries I was able to find last month:
- 8:22 a.m. – A caller reported a man dressed in red was flashing “gang signs” to kids walking to school.
- 8:33 a.m. – A woman called to report the possible theft of Christmas decorations. She said she saw some reindeer that looked like hers in her neighbor’s backyard.
- A caller reported “something just went down” around the corner from her house and would like an officer to look into it.
- 5:13 p.m. – A caller reported an emu was in the road. Police chased the emu and cornered it until Animal Control responded and took the emu into custody.
- 5:46 p.m. – A woman called to report her husband shoved her several times during a fight and threw raw chicken in her face.
