Sept. 6
‘I pay your salary’
4:36 a.m. — 200 Block of Linden Street. Disturbance. An officer arrived to find the suspect in his front yard upset and yelling, so he was placed in handcuffs for the officer's safety. The man said he was in an argument with his roommate, who accused him of drinking and driving. The roommate said he does not like the suspect and he wanted the officer to take him to prison.
When the officer explained that he couldn't do that, the roommate began yelling that he pays taxes and, therefore, the officer had to do what he told him. The officer gave the roommate legal advice in reference to eviction, Baker Acts and trespassing. He then gave the suspect a ride to a friend’s house.

My wife, the felon
1; 23 p.m. — 1500 Block of N. U.S. Highway 1. Stolen Vehicle. The victim told the officer he had not seen his vehicle since the prior night, adding that his spouse, who was hanging out with people who may have given her drugs, may have taken it.
The man saw his wife talking to people outside when he went into the restroom, but when he came out, his wife, the vehicle and the people were gone.
His wife may have just taken the vehicle somewhere and planned to return it later, the officer suggested, and if the cop were to enter a stolen vehicle report, his wife could be arrested for auto theft — a felony. The victim said he was OK with that.
Sept. 3
'... But you'll never take my furniture'
1:18 a.m. — 100 Block of River Beach Drive. Theft. The victim asked the officer to stand by while he removed his furniture from his former residence. But when they arrived at the house, the victim was told by the suspect that he could not get his furniture back until he paid an electric bill he owed.
The officer explained that the suspect could not hold the furniture, but the suspect did not give in. The victim filed theft charges, for property valued at $2,700.
