Sand Fleas

A possible prowler, white male was standing at a resident's door. The officer asked if he lived there and he replied that he did not. The officer then asked if he knew who lived there, his response was the same. There was a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. Walking did not come easy for him as he came close to falling. He was placed under arrest for criminal trespassing and public intoxication.

Driving through residential areas, an officer observed a car at least 5 different occasions taking off at high speed. The vehicle was making numerous stops and take offs at unsafe speeds. When the officer stopped the driver, she stated that she was looking for her 21 year-old son who had gone out for the night. She was very upset and crying. The officer asked her to step out of the vehicle to talk; she took several steps and nearly fell down. The officer noticed a strong smell of alcohol. She agreed to take a sobriety test. She used her arms to maintain balance while standing still. She failed the test and received a DUI.

A car was discovered in a ditch with the driver nowhere to be found and the car unlocked. A friend took the police to the car owner's
residence. Upon investigation the driver stated that while backing the car down the road, she accidentally went into the ditch. She stated she would take the responsibility for getting the car out. She later returned to the station to look at the police report to see if they had found her prescription drugs, cell phone ($100 value), prescription sunglasses ($240 value). She said they might have fallen out of the window when her car went into the ditch. She stated that the missing items had fallen into the water in the ditch and went out with the tide.
