Keep your hands off my cans
900 block of 21st Street East
Information only: A woman had a landscaper cleaning the outside of her apartment March 8. She heard him dump out her container of recycled cans. She went outside and yelled at the landscaper not to dump the cans because she turns them in for money. She grabbed the container and continued to yell at him. She said he then grabbed it, and the two tugged back and forth for a moment. The woman became so upset that she let the container go and went inside to “cool off.” She waited a month to call in and report the incident.

Parking lot pirate
6200 block of S.R. 64 East
Information only: A man was walking through the pedestrian crosswalk in the parking lot to enter a store when a car accelerated right in front of him, moving so fast he had to jump backward out of the way. While he was in the store, an unknown man with a patch over one eye approached him. He told the pedestrian he needed to get out of the road because it's hard for a man with one eye to see him. The man with the patch continued to make a scene, so the pedestrian left and called the Sheriff’s Office to document the incident.

See if grandma gets any mail now
700 block of 15th Avenue Drive
Criminal mischief: A couple live together with their children. They got into an argument because the girlfriend had gone out the evening before without her boyfriend. The next day the boyfriend called the Sheriff’s Office because the girlfriend was creating a scene while his mother was trying to pick up the children. The girlfriend had intentionally run over the mother’s mailbox with her two kids in the car. The mother is not pressing charges, and the girlfriend agreed to pay for the damage.
