Don’t forget the lug nuts
10:23 p.m. — 400 Block of Clyde Morris Boulevard. Person Shot. The officer was dispatched in reference to a disabled vehicle. He came upon a car in the inside, southbound lane and it was missing its left-front tire.
The driver was visibly upset. She said her tire fell off and rolled into the woods.
The officer searched for the tire but was unable to find it. A wrecker was called, and the driver said he would have to drag the car onto the wrecker, which could damage the car.
The driver was able to contact two friends who arrived to drive her home. The friends said they had removed the front tires earlier in the day to fix the brakes, and were convinced they had properly reinstalled the tires. The officer said the incident suggested otherwise.

Alert teller stops crime
1:23 p.m. — First Block of Woodgate Court. Theft. The victim said he wrote a check to the city for a water bill in the amount of $53.48 and placed it in his mailbox with the flag up. Later, he received a call from his bank saying that a person brought in one of his personal checks to the bank in the amount of $680.48 and attempted to cash it. The bank employee said she thought that was odd because she knew the victim did not write large personal checks.
As she was calling, the suspect fled on foot and left behind the ID he presented with the check.
The victim checked the mailbox and the check was gone. He filled out a statement saying he wanted to pursue charges.
