Police said damage was found in room at the Roadway Inn on Hamilton Park Drive after the occupants were in a dispute with the manager.

The manager said he asked the occupants to leave due to smoking in the non-smoking room. He said he did not refund the room rate, which angered the female registered occupant. After the occupant vacated the room, the TV was found with a large hole in it and the towel rack was off the wall.

Police and complainant were at this room earlier regarding an incident and the TV was not damaged. Complainant requested a report for his files, however refused prosecution.

At the Hampton Inn at 7013 Shallowford Road, the manager reported that two or three homeless people have been harassing customers at the hotel lately and have disregarded his warnings to leave.

Two officers patrolled the area trying to locate them and found a shed where they may be sleeping at night.

Police said they were unable to locate the parties in question but will continue patrols in the area.

An employee at the Formosa Restaurant on Highway 153 said he saw a white male beating a white female in the parking lot of the restaurant. They were standing beside a red Ford truck.

He said he confronted the man and the woman got into the truck and started to drive off. The man got into the truck with the woman and they both left the scene. A search of the area by several units did not locate the truck.

A man told police that he kicked out his former tenants, Blake Buchanan and Tristen McDonald, a couple of days prior, from a residence on Boy Scout Road.
