Down 'the drain' payment
17500 block of Howling Wolf Run
Grand theft: A resident gave a person $11,195 to do a job at their home. The man then said he needed more money to start the job. The resident gave him another $8,956. The suspect never started the job or came to the home with materials. Nine months have passed and the resident believes the man has no intention of doing the job or refunding the money, so a report was filed.

A higher authority
1200 block of Clyde Jones Road
Information only: While a deputy was patrolling in a helicopter at around midnight, he noticed two vehicles racing each other when signals turned green. The deputy notified ground patrol units, who were able to stop both drivers and ticket them.

Cat food for thought
3300 block of 26th Avenue East
Information only: Two neighbors got into an argument, part of an ongoing dispute, about one of the neighbors feeding feral cats in the community park. One neighbor said there was a policy against feeding feral cats at the park. The cat-feeding neighbor made a statement that the other neighbor felt was threatening, so she called the Sheriff’s Office to get the altercation documented. The reporting deputy advised the neighbors to stay off each other’s property and check with park management to check the cat feeding policy.
