Violation of injunction: A woman called because her ex-boyfriend was violating his injunction by contacting her. She had received several text messages from a number she didn’t recognize, but the contents of the texts indicated that it was her ex. He was trying to get his possessions back, and also wanted to get his dog. The Sheriff’s Office documented the texts and verified the active injunction.

Trespass Warning: A man called the Sheriff’s Office because another man was squatting inside a home that had been partially burned a few years ago. The first man still owned the home and had some valuable property inside, so the owner wanted the squatter removed. The deputy explained the trespass warning to the man and he was advised that he would be arrested if found at the home again.

Suspicious circumstance: A man woke up in the middle of the night when he heard his sliding back door open. When he went to check it out, he found his neighbor standing inside his home. His neighbor began to apologize for the mistake. The resident called the Sheriff’s Office, and upon the deputy’s arrival, they learned that the neighbor had a sleep walking disorder and did not know how he got inside his neighbor’s home. The resident decided not to press charges. The deputy told the neighbor to install audible alarms on his doors that will wake him up if he wanders outside while asleep.

A friend of a friend had accidentally texted him while arranging a gig for a band named "The Cherry Bombs."
