Police Blotter: Man Says Girlfriend Stole $1,000, She Said He's Lost His Mind; Stolen Car Is Recovered; Man With Blue Hat, Camo Jacket Swipes Tablet At Little Caesar's

  • Sunday, February 27, 2022

A man on Jasmine Street told police he was staying with his girlfriend there and that he had several bags at his girlfriend's residence, one of which contained $1,000 cash. He said that while his back was turned, his girlfriend took the money out of the bag. The girlfriend told police that he had lost his mind and that she had no idea what on earth he was talking about. She said that she never went through his bag and never took $1,000. She said that she actually doesn't think he even owns $1,000. She also told police that he had called his friend to pick him up and took his own bags to his friend's car, so maybe the money was still there. Either way, police have no way of knowing if the man ever had $1,000, and no proof that the girlfriend took the money, or if the man just misplaced the funds. Also, at this point, the man said that he no longer wanted to make a
report and fled the area prior to police finishing the investigation.
