Police Blotter

Nov. 23, 2:42 a.m.

A man called police to report that his girlfriend had come home drunk and threw a thermostat at him.

Nov. 23, 11:46 a.m.

A caller complained that there was a suspicious vehicle, occupied by two men, parked in front of a neighbor’s home. Upon their arrival, officers determined that the owner of the home had a water main link and the two men in the car were among four that were working on the problem.

Nov. 23, 2:21 p.m.

A woman came into the police department to complain that she had rented a room out to a person in need at the behest of a friend, but the tenant had paid with two bad checks and stole things from her house.

Nov. 23, 2:50 p.m.

A man complained that three days before a man had offered to buy a five-piece tool set from him, but when he took the items to the buyer’s apartment, the buyer refused to pay and forcibly expelled the man from his apartment. The man’s backpack was left inside with $60 inside and various other items.

Nov. 24, 12:16 a.m.

A woman called to complain that the same man who had reported having his backpack stolen the previous afternoon had come to her home, claimed to be a “CI” and made her crawl around on the ground like she had done something wrong. Upon the arrival of officers, the man was trespassed by officers.

Nov. 24, 12:57 p.m.

A woman called to complain that she and her husband had seen a group of youths and several cars parked at a Realtor’s building, riding skateboards and filming. The woman said that she and her husband asked the juveniles to stop but the juveniles became belligerent and even opened a car door, hitting her husband.

Nov. 24, 9:12 p.m.

A caller reported that a woman in a neighboring building had yelled “call the ‘F’ing’ police” out of her window. Upon their arrival, officers spoke to the woman in question and arrested a man for failure to change address.

Nov. 25, 5:14 a.m.

Multiple officers were involved in a foot chase, which continued for several minutes until the suspect ducked down a side street, running while dropping things out of his pockets and waistband, including what appeared to be methamphetamine. After being hit multiple times with a Taser, the suspect finally stopped running, put his hands up and was apprehended.

Nov. 25, 9:53 a.m.

Officers received reports of two juveniles breaking a couch apart and putting pieces into a fire pit, attempting to light it aflame. Upon their arrival, officers determined that one of the two young men lived in the unit above the business and that they were removing wood from the sofa to use as fuel for their barbecue. At that point the men had retrieved the wood and were cleaning up the remnants of the couch.

City reallocates $750,000 for fiscal year 2025

More than a year ago, in a Boulder City Council discussion about budgeting, Mayor Joe Hardy, in two sentences, summed up the most basic truth about city budgets.

Update on city utility projects

Sometimes the good information comes from unexpected places.

Third extension for portico funding

About once a month, before the start of the city council meeting, the members of the council meet wearing their hats as the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and dole out money to reimburse businesses and homeowners in the historic district for qualifying work done to their properties.

Public weighs in on purchase

With last week’s announcement in the Boulder City Review that three longtime residents/businessmen purchased the former Central Market building and their plans to bring in a small grocery chain, there’s been plenty of input from the public.

Trio looks to bring new grocery store to town

If one were to ask 25 Boulder City residents what the town is missing, you’d probably get a few different answers like affordable housing or a movie theater. But the overwhelming answer would likely be the same – a second grocery store.

City awards $1.6M for pool design

Back in March 2024, Councilwoman Sherri Jorgensen said, “I can’t even imagine what it would cost in 2028.”

City transfers bond capacity

Kevin Hickey, of the Nevada Rural Housing Authority, has been making pretty much the same presentation to the council annually thanking the city for transferring nearly $1 million in bond capacity to the group he represents.

Council confusion: The leash law saga continues

Three statements — notably, none of them from members of the city council — best illustrated the difficulties residents (both dog-loving and not) have had for at least four years when it comes to the issue of off-leash dogs in public parks.
