I’ve never seen that baggie in my life

A field test on the substance tested positive for marijuana, and a towing service arrived to remove the vehicle.

There are no suspects at this time.

Couch nap
8:27 a.m. — First Block of Blairsville Drive. Burglary residence. A victim advised that an unknown person by unknown means broke his bedroom window while he was sleeping on the living room couch. The victim went to investigate the noise and observed a male in a black T-shirt and surfer shorts exit through the window and ride off on a silver mountain bike.
Officers discovered a large area of dirt outside the window; the window appeared to be broken from the outside. However, the victim’s bed was directly under the window, and there were no signs of the dirt being stepped on.
The subject took several items, including a black backpack containing 68 prescription pills, a plain black hoodie and a black T-shirt. The total value of the items stolen is approximately $210. Photos were taken of the scene for further investigation.
