Nov. 7, 10:04 p.m.

Officers received a report of a white 70-year-old man wearing a cowboy hat and walking with a walker. He was trying to sleep next to a building. The man would not give his name to the officers, said he had a heart issue and was refusing medical. He said he wanted to get on the bus to Las Vegas and go home.

Officers responded to a report of an aggressive black dog that had attacked a postman. The dog was secured in the yard, and the owner was contacted and cleared with a warning.

Nov. 8, 11:19 a.m.

A caller reported that there had been “ongoing noise for days” that also shook her house.

A woman called the police station and said that a man had approached her in the laundry room and was holding a gun. The man said that he never pointed a gun at the woman but that he did have it “in the air.” The gun was reported to be black and looked like ones that police used. Officers also found out he was jealous because the woman was spending time with another man.

Nov. 10, 8:40 a.m.

Officers responded to reports of a white woman yelling at something. Officers observed her yelling and talking at no one. She said that she was venting.

Nov. 11, 6:19 a.m.

A man called again to complain about someone in a black pickup truck who “blasts his train horn as he leaves work.” He said that he would take care of it if the police didn’t do their jobs. He also threatened physical violence against the truck driver as he has no time to take him to court because his wife is terminally ill and he takes care of her. He said again that he just wanted the police to do their jobs.

Nov. 12, 8:05 p.m.

Officers responded to a report of a man armed with possibly brass knuckles and a knife who was part of a loud disturbance. Upon investigation, officers found he had punched a 49-year-old man in the face.

Nov. 14, 2:14 a.m.

Officers received reports of a possible bonfire near Arizona Street. Upon investigation, officers saw the fire and pursued the subjects. They found one subject to be intoxicated.
