  • Wednesday, July 22, 2015

Police said a teen was spotted with a bulge in his pocket at Cypress Street Courts.

An officer told him to stop, but he kept walking before finally stopping and turning.

The officer could see the outline of the gun so he quickly took control of his hands.

The gun was a small 9 mm SCCY handgun.

The youth said he had bought the gun the prior day. He said he assumed that it was stolen.

He was taken from the College Hill Courts to the Juvenile Detention Center.

He found that someone had tried to steal it. They had broken the driver's window and door and damaged the steering column. That damage was estimated at $1,200.

He said the fuel lines were cut and a $1,000 carburetor for a modified engine, $200 battery and a breather were taken.

A resident of Buckley Street complained that a neighbor was keeping a rooster locked up inside the home.

The resident said the rooster kept clucking and "making rooster noises."

There was a concern that since the units are joined that bugs from the rooster might get over to his side.

An officer said he could not go inside the residence, saying it "might be the neighbor's pet."

The complaining resident said he would try the McKamey Animal Center next.
