An officer initiated a park and walk underneath the Walnut Street Bridge to check for homeless encampments setting up and starting fires. When he got underneath the bridge, he noticed a tent set up next to a burn pit that was not there the previous night. The tent was blue and beige in color with a blue tarp set up over it. The officer attempted two separate times to locate the owner of the tent to notify them that they were trespassing underneath the bridge and needed to relocate, but was unable to do so either time. The officer left a note attached to the tent notifying the owner that they needed to relocate to another location, and will attempt to make contact with this owner later this week.

A husband and wife on King Arthur Road told police they received a call from a woman who said she was a representative for another woman who plans on counter-suing the husband. The woman then said she was a prominent figure in the community and head of the contractors' association and her cousin is a judge. She then told the husband that he should settle out of court or things are not going to go well for him. The wife said the conversation was a little hostile and the woman was using intimidation factors, and she was acting as a mediator for the other woman and was not a legal counsel or representative. Both the husband and wife said they are wanting to add the phone conversation to this report.
