A man walked into the lobby of the police department wishing to file a report for "verbal assault".

After being greeted by one of our officers, the complainant handed the officer a written statement which detailed an ongoing dispute with one of his neighbors. According to the man's statement, the disagreement began when a neighbor placed their yard waste in front of his house to await pickup. Things apparently escalated shortly thereafter, when a second neighbor referred to the complainant as a "bully" and suggested that he "stick it up his a--".

After reviewing the paperwork, the officer advised the complainant that no crime appeared to have been committed, and that any issues regarding yard waste being placed in the right-of-way would need to be taken up in civil court.

A report was filed, and no further action was taken during this time.

One of our officers was on patrol when he spotted a truck failing to maintain its lane. After pulling the vehicle over, the officer smelled a strong odor similar to that of an alcoholic drink emitting from within. As he introduced himself to the driver, the officer also noticed that the man's eyes were bloodshot and "glossy". When asked for his license, the man admitted that he didn't have one.

During the course of the subsequent investigation, the officer found additional evidence to suggest that the driver had been operating the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. He was then placed under arrest and charged with Failure to Maintain Lane, No Driver's License and DUI (Less Safe).
