A man shopping at a local retail store paid for his items, stuck his wallet in his pocket and left.

However, he got to the car and realized his wallet was not in his pocket. He went back into the store to check around, to no avail. When speaking with management, they said they would check the tape for him to see if they could figure out what happened.

What they saw was the wallet fall to the ground rather than make it into his pocket.

Of course this man didn't realize this, and left.

But the cashier saw it and snatched it right up.

The store manager said if the man came back the next day the store would reimburse him for the cash that was in his wallet. The man agreed to this and also called police to report the situation. The store manager told officers the employee had been suspended without pay until loss prevention could investigate the incident. The employee admitted to the theft and said he tossed the wallet in the rest room trash can but it was never found.

The victim chose to pursue charges, so police moved forward with the proper paperwork.

Drinking on the job

A mechanic walked into a local gas station and headed towards the stock room where beer was kept. The cashier called out to him, asking who was in the stockroom. He announced who he was and the cashier said, "get out from back there."

The man told her no and said the manager of the store always lets them go back there and help themselves to beer.

The cashier told him again  to get out of the stock room and  leave the store.

Well nothing was getting between this grease monkey and his beer, so he proceeded to curse the cashier, referring to her skin color and calling her the most vulgar of things.

The cashier called the police and the manager.

The manager requested that the man be put on trespass notice. The officer went across the street to the car shop and spoke with other employees who said the manager always lets them go in and help themselves to beer and this particular cashier is always very rude to them. Nonetheless, the man in question was placed on trespass notice and told to go mooch beer somewhere else.

Get over it

A newly engaged couple was grilling burgers one night when the female's ex-boyfriend comes driving up to their trailer and snatched a piece of garden art that he’d once given her to gussy up their house on wheels.

Apparently the ex-boyfriend forgot what the word gift meant.

Nonetheless, the couple called the cops and said in addition to this stunt, he has been calling and leaving harassing phone messages and some of his actions over the last few months have crossed the line.

Both have known the man for 20 years.

They also told the officer that the ex-boyfriend comes around the trailer park and drives around several times throughout the day. Then the fiance told officers that he was probably at his place and it would probably be best to just leave him be for the night.

The officer explained the restraining order and no trespass process and the warrant process for the theft. The couple decided not to press charges.

Let me try that again

An officer noticed a car sitting idling in a parking lot and stopped to investigate. The vehicle sat at the exit to the parking lot for a few minutes before it pulled off, and almost struck the curb. The car came to a stop sign, paused and drove on almost running into several mailboxes.

The officer finally pulled the car over and the female driver appeared quite drunk. He asked her if she knew why he stopped her and she said, “because I pulled over.”

He quizzed her about how much she had been drinking and she replied, “two shots and and a few other drinks.”

She told the officer she was going to Bowman Road to pick someone up and then apologized several times for driving.

She agreed to perform some sobriety tests.

They started with the alphabet from D to R. She did it from D to H then stopped and proceed to P, then stopped and went all the way to Z. She was given another chance to try again and she started with D and went to P and paused and forgot where she left off. Then she asked if she could just do it from A to Z and the officer agreed to let her try. She did good right on up to U but then said Z, W, H, I, D.

She failed the rest and was arrested.

She blew a .18 on the data master and spent the night in jail.

You gotta pay to play

A local medical office had to call the cops.  

A man was raising hell because the doctors would not treat his wife.

Apparently  he was behind on payments for previous treatment and was being denied service.

The business manager told officers he wanted the man placed on trespass notice. The officer explained this to the man who was very polite and agreed to stay away from the business.

However he looked the officer dead in the eye and told him he would protest this incident by picketing in front of the business until he spoke with the head doctor and owner of the business

No word on whether he got the proper town approval to picket.

Going postal

A postal patron lost her cool one afternoon, causing postal officials to call police.

Two postal employees were sitting in the lobby when this woman came in and said, “these bastards are taking my mail.”

She was told she could not use that kind of language and the woman told her where she could go.

At that point one of the postal workers went to get her supervisor, who then called police.

When officers arrived the postal supervisor explained that the post office has been having problems with this woman for the past few months. She apparently goes out of he way to hold up traffic at the front of the mailboxes and bothers customers.

The supervisor said this woman’s behavior has become increasingly worse.

They told officers that she uses a post office box and is paid up through the month of June. The supervisor said she had no problem with the woman continuing to use her box but her behavior would have to improve.

The officer explained to the suspect that she’d have to curb the language.

She explained that she was simply in the post office lobby going through her purse and mumbled something to herself, which caused this whole scene.

Nonetheless, she was told to straighten up.

Green means go

Green means go, but when one is asleep at a traffic light, it makes for difficulty in driving.

Thankfully an officer noticed the car in question sitting at the light and pulled over to make sure everything as okay.

By the time he got back around to the car, the light had cycled twice and the car was still sitting there.

What the officer found was a male driver taking a little cat nap.

The officer had to bang on the window to wake the man up and told him to pull his car over in a nearby parking lot.

When the officer walked back up to his car in the parking lot, he saw a cold beer sitting in plain view, right in the center console cup holder.

The driver handed it over and it appeared to be warm and half full.

The officer got the man’s information and asked him how much he had been drinking. He replied that he’d only had three beers and did not appear drunk.

The officer decided to just write the man an open container ticket, but when he called dispatch with the man’s information, he found out that this man was wanted by DNR.

So of course he was arrested and taken in for the evening.

Sicko

A man pulled into a nearby shopping center to get his jollys. He chose  to park about 30 feet from three juvenile girls sitting on a bench and pleasured himself right there in plain view.

A 30-year-old woman happened to walk by and see what was going on and called police. But by the time they got there, he was gone.

Even with a car description officers were not ever able to locate the man.

Jealous revenge

A waitress at a local bar was not pleased to see her ex-boyfriend’s car parked in the bar parking lot after hours.

So, she decided to let him know this.

She slashed his passenger side tires and keyed one side of the car, totalling about $2,000 in damages.

The ex-boyfriend suspected right away that it was the girl who’d done this and called police.

He explained that they had a casual relationship that ended and she is jealous that he is now friends with this other woman.

So jealous in fact she left him a voice mail that said she could not believe he would leave his car  in the parking lot of her bar and then go off with this other woman. She told him it would probably be best if he found another bar to go to.

Later he received a text message from her that said he had a flat tire.

The police went to question this ex-girlfriend and she immediately said she knew he would accuse her of vandalizing his car but that she had not done it.

The officer didn’t believe her and told her so. He also threw in the fact he had processed the car for fingerprints, obtained her fingerprints from police files and would be obtaining a positive identification within the next few days.

With that, she admitted to the damage and said she did it when the bar closed and was drunk when she made the stupid decision. She kept telling the officer, “I can’t believe I did it. I am so stupid.”

The victim told the officer he would like a few days to consider whether or not he wanted to press charges.
