At the Sleep Inn on Shallowford Village Drive, a woman reported that she spent the night at room 306.

When she checked out, she noticed that she had forgotten the wallet in the room. She then went back in the room and noticed that it was gone.

Police spoke with the house cleaner supervisor and she reported that during the cleaning she did not locate any wallet.

The woman reported that in the wallet was her Tennessee ID, Social Security card, her debit car from Regions Bank and $ 611 cash.

Olivia Herndon told officers she had a cat named Coffee whom she asked to keep at a location on East Brainerd Road with a friend of hers, Rachel, while she was in the process of moving and trying to acclamate to her new dog.

Ms. Herndon stated that she attempted to get the cat back from Rachel but Rachel was not allowing her to get the cat back without proof that she was moving out of state.

An officer spoke to Rachel who stated the cat is owned by Ms. Herndon and that she has been watching the cat for at least a month and she feels that she should be able to keep the cat because she had a verbal agreement that if Ms. Herndon showed her proof she was moving that she would give the cat back.

Ms. Herndon was able to get Coffee the cat back with no issues.
