Identity theft: A man living on the 7000 block of Fletcher Bay Road
reported that he received several pieces of mail from a bank that
he hadn’t opened an account with. A debit/Visa card with a pin code
for online banking was in one of the letters.
Found property: A woman found some cash in the middle of the road and reported it to the police, who placed it in found property. The location and the amount of cash was redacted from the report.
Reckless driving/racing: An 85-year-old woman living on the 6000 block of Monte Vista Drive was reported to police for reckless driving. Another driver witnessed the woman driving all over the road and driving onto the curb at a roundabout. The reporting party said it was the second time she had seen the woman driving recklessly. When police caught up with the driver at her home, the woman said she had been under a lot of stress with family health problems. The driver also admitted to the officer that she had driven over the roundabout’s curve and that her mind had been occupied, which caused her to possibly daydream. The officer suggested to the woman that she may want to retest with the Department of Licensing and that she needed to drive more carefully.
June 28
Driving with license suspended or revoked in the third degree,
failure to transfer title within 15 days: A 26-year-old man living
on the 300 block of Shepard Way was stopped when an officer noticed
an apparent expired license plate tab. The vehicle’s registration
had expired in 2012 and the car was sold in November 2011. However,
the vehicle was displaying a 2014 license tab. The driver admitted
to the officer that he took the tab from his father’s Ford Ranger
truck. When the officer ran the man’s name in the state’s database,
it returned with the man being charged for a driving while license
suspended/revoked in the third degree for failure to appear for
unpaid tickets. The improper tab was removed from the man’s car by
the officer.
June 27
Residential burglary: A woman living on the 800 block of High
School Road reported someone had stolen two prescription bottles
from her home’s bathroom. The woman believed she had failed to lock
her apartment since there was no evidence of forced entry. One of
the lost medicine bottles contained approximately 20 pills of
Oxycodone and the other contained about 30 pills of Meloxicam. The
woman said several people in her apartment complex were aware the
woman needed medicine because of her recent foot surgery, which she
still had a cast for.
