Fraud reports and a laptop theft that was later found

Other calls

• Harassment and threat calls came from Clinton Court overnight (the caller wanted advice and did not want to file a report), Tiffin Avenue in the late afternoon (a customer upset about a double card charge; officers noted no direct threats were made), and Dayton Avenue in the evening (a neighbor dispute; advice was given).
• Trespass calls at a Tiffin Avenue business at 9:54 p.m. and 11:54 p.m. ended with people asked to leave without a trespass notice being issued. An earlier trespass report in the 200 block of East Lima Street turned out to be an employee doing maintenance work.
• Suspicious-activity checks included a person by a dumpster behind a North Main Street business (nothing found), two vehicles left unlocked in a U.S. 224 parking lot (no action required), and other evening checks with little or no detail in the log.
• A parking ticket was issued on Clinton Court for a truck repeatedly parked on the no-parking side of the street. A semi parked at East Bigelow and Crystal was checked; an officer said traffic was still flowing and saw no violation.
• A front-door alarm on West Hardin Street was set off by a cleaning crew that said they had canceled before officers arrived. A barking-dog complaint on Franklin Avenue found nothing. A welfare check at a Melrose Avenue car wash found someone waiting for a ride after work.
• Officers also handled 18 traffic stops (several ending in verbal warnings, including expired registration, a turn signal and lights required), seven court-ordered fingerprint sessions, four summons services, two overnight business door checks, two court-security assignments at the municipal building, and a school walkthrough.
