Grass Valley Police Blotter vol. LVII

At 9:07 p.m., a caller form South School Street reported a man with a beard wanted to sleep in an air conditioning unit. The man left and the caller was told to call police again if the man returned.

[Warm weather brings mad schemes.]

At 11:06 a.m., a caller from the 20000 block of Tanglewood Loop reported a man had gone to Bridgeport the day before and had not returned home. His vehicle was at Bridgeport. State Parks personnel located the man in the river with no shoes on. The man refused to get out of the water because it would be too hot on his feet. The man was fine and searchers left.

[He refused to get out of the water. I wonder who got to pick up the tab for the search?]

At 7:53 p.m., a caller from the 11000 block of Sierra Circle reported several juveniles were walking around a park, lowering their pants and showing their buttocks to people. A deputy contacted the juveniles. Parents were dealing with the situation; however, some parents did not want to talk with a deputy.

[But did the parents then show their buttocks?]

At 4:15 p.m., a caller from the 17000 block of Huckleberry Drive reported the theft of a For Sale sign from a golf cart. It was later found that Lake Wildwood security guards had removed the sign because it violated the rules of the community. Lake Wildwood security said they will return the sign, and the caller was advised of the regulations.

[High drama.]

At 10:34 a.m., a person went to the police station and wanted to speak with an officer about something occurring in different areas around the city. The person was very upset and was having trouble verbalizing.

[Fun at the police station I bet.]

At 1:45 p.m., a man called from the 1000 block of Laurel Lane to report a juvenile was shooting a pellet gun at him. Police contacted the youth, who lives on the 200 block of Dorsey Drive. His grandparents said he would not be shooting anymore.

[The things you can get away with at your grandparents.]

At 5:24 p.m., a woman called from the 50 block of Candy Lane reported people were trying to get into a residence. She would sign a complaint.

[Anybody she knows?]

At 6:43 p.m., a man called from the 50 block of Candy Lane to report more problems. A woman would leave the residence for the night. No arrests were made.

[Was the man one of the people trying to get in?]

At 7:36 p.m., a caller from the 11000 block of Lakeshore North reported a person was fishing with an invalid license. There was also possibly an Immigration and Naturalization Service issue and a large language barrier. A deputy contacted the caller and would contact Homeland Security.

[For want of a fishing license....]

At 7:39 p.m., a caller from the 400 block of Henderson Street reported 20 men selling food out of their vehicles.

[Was this the flea market?]

At 6:07 p.m., there were multiple calls from Highway 49 reporting a person swinging a board at cars on the side of the roadway.

[Well, that is different at least!]

At 3:24 p.m., State Parks rangers followed a man suspected of breaking into vehicle in Sierra County as he sped towards North San Juan. Rangers caught up with the suspect in the parking lot of a restaurant on the 13000 block of Tyler Foote Crossing Road. The suspect locked himself in his car and refused to get out, saying he would not get out until "real" law enforcement officers arrived. Rangers held the man at gunpoint and arrested him. The suspect, a 40-year-old Nevada City resident, was charged with threatening a crime and evading and resisting a peace officer.

[I guess we know who is "real" now.]

At 4:22 p.m., a caller from Redwood Lane reported that a neighbor was screaming obscenities. The caller wasn't clear who the neighbor was yelling at but said that the yelling happened daily.

[Just part of the afternoon routine.]

At 11:37 a.m., a caller from Broad Street reported that a man wearing a coat over his head was walking into traffic.

[I suppose he at least has an excuse.]
