ON THE WRONG FOOT
10:30 p.m. — 100 block of Halton Place
Property Damage: A woman reported that, sometime during the night, someone kicked the rear passenger door of her car. Officers observed a large indentation on the door where a footprint had been left behind. There was also a fingerprint next to the footprint. Officers lifted the print for further testing. The woman speculated that her mom’s neighbor might be responsible for the damage, as her mom and the neighbor had gotten involved in an argument earlier. The woman said the neighbor might have been attempting to retaliate against her mother, but ended up damaging the woman’s vehicle instead.
