Dear kindly Sgt. Krupke....

A collection of highlights from the March police reports...

Hot copy?
Fire personnel reported that someone unknown spray painted the words “punk’s not dead” on the west wall of the station.

Flushed out
Resident called stating that his mother was locked in the bathroom and then he hung up the phone. Officers spoke with mom who stated that her son is intoxicated and left the house on foot. 

Good advice
Resident reported receiving threatening calls from a person she believes to be her brother in law. Officer spoke with the brother in law who denied making calls and he stated that the resident has been calling him. Both were advised not to communicate with each other. 

Guess they won't accept each other's coupons
Store owner reported receiving threatening phone calls from a competitor because the competitor claimed the store owner was taking business from him. Officer spoke with the competitor who stated that the store owner threatened him. He agreed not to have further contact with the store owner.

Try a key...
Resident reported a subject climbing into a neighboring house through a window. Officers located the subject who is employed by a Realtor. The house was recently foreclosed on and the subject was sent to assess the home. All was verified. 

Trash talking
Resident reported that a subject goes through her garbage every week and this makes her uncomfortable. The officer advised that there is no prohibition for anyone scrapping, and that she may want to consider placing her garbage out the morning of collection. 

Watch your password
Resident received an email from her friend stating that she is in Spain and was the victim of a crime. The friend stated that she needed money and would like it sent via Western Union. The resident called her friend who stated that she was at home in Arlington Heights. The resident has received no further communication.
 
So what happened, did he sell him a horse, but deliver a mule?

Resident stated that she met a neighbor in the hallway and he made a comment about an incident that occurred a year ago. The resident then called the neighbor a name and the neighbor retorted in kind. The resident stated that the neighbor became highly irate and began flailing his arms about, causing the resident to become frightened and believing that the neighbor may attack her. Officer asked both to leave each other alone, which they agreed to do. 

Hello, Federal?
Complainant stated that the post office employees refused to mail his package due to weight restrictions. He stated that the post office employee was rude to him and he wanted to speak with the Post Master. The supervisor gave the complainant the phone number for the Post Master and then asked the complainant to leave, which he did. 

So much for this family business
Complainant stated that he and his cousin are doing work at a hotel and when the complainant assigned the cousin a task, the cousin responded by challenging the complainant to a fight. The complainant drove the cousin home and advised him that he is fired. The cousin has called and sent numerous text messages. The complainant wants the incidents documented but does not want the police to contact the cousin.

Better safe than sorry
The complainant, who was there to install countertops, stated that he did not want to leave the house because the homeowner was not there. The complainant was concerned of being accused of theft. The house was secured by the officer and the complainant left.


Hoops, there it is
Resident reported that his neighbor’s son started playing basketball at 6:45 a.m. and he requested an officer speak with the neighbor. The neighbor told the officer that his son was not even out of bed at that time. The officer reminded the neighbor that 7a.m. is a reasonable time.


You're kidding, right?
A citizen reported that he found the front doors to the Village Hall open and no one there. Officers checked the Hall and found all to be in order. The front doors were secured by the officers and a Village Official secured a door on the west side of the building.

Guess he couldn't cell his homework
Mom reported that her son refused to go to school because she took his cell phone for not completing his homework. After a conversation, the boy got on the school bus sans the cell phone.


This one defies logic
Resident reported that her upstairs neighbor’s humidifier is making a lot of noise and that the dog upstairs urinates on the resident’s balcony. Officer attempted to contact the neighbor without success.


This guy will be the butt of a lot of jokes
Complainant reported a male subject that was undressing in the parking lot. Officers located the subject who stated that he had injured his buttocks while wrestling, and was placing napkins to that area to stop the bleeding. The paramedics checked the subject out and he was also advised to use a private location to tend to his wounds.
