Can’t we all just get along
3:50 p.m. — 1500 Block of Granada Boulevard. Fight. A man was walking through a parking lot, in the pedestrian lane, when he was almost hit by a vehicle, according to reports. When the vehicle parked, the man told the driver to watch where he was going.
The driver then got upset and started swearing at the man. The man approached the driver in an attempt to calm him down, the report said, but the driver pushed him and then punched him. A witness, who told police she saw the entire incident, corroborated the man’s story. Neither party wanted to pursue charges.

Not so honest Abe
5:39 p.m. — 200 Block of Granada Boulevard. Fraud. The suspect entered the restaurant and paid for a sandwich and drink, which cost $9.24, with a $100 bill.
The clerk checked the bill with a money marker, and according to the report, it checked out as legitimate. However, after the suspect left the restaurant, the clerk held it up to a light and noticed it had an Abraham Lincoln watermark instead of a Benjamin Franklin watermark.
The bill was collected as evidence, and the clerk told police the restaurant may also have video surveillance.
