An officer met with a woman at Papa Johns on Water Street. She said she was delivering a pizza in the area of Water Street but could not locate the correct address. While in the area she attempted to call the individual who ordered the pizza. She said while here, roughly four black males approached her claiming to be the individuals who ordered the pizza. She said they attempted to "lure" her inside the home, but she refused because the building appeared to be "abandoned". She said this scared her so she left the area. Officers arrived at the home and discovered the unit abandoned. Officers located the rear door open and made entry to check the residence for intruders. Officers were unable to locate anyone inside.

While on routine patrol, an officer observed a silver SUV turn its hazard lights on and swerve to avoid an obstruction in the roadway. As the officer got closer he noticed the obstruction was a blue zero turn lawn mower sitting in the cross walk on Broad Street at West 13th Street.

With the assistance of a passerby they were able to lift the mower out of the roadway and onto the sidewalk at the corner of Broad Street and West 13th Street. The officer checked with dispatch to try and locate any calls or reports taken involving the lawn mower but nothing could be located. At this time it is unclear who lost a mower in the middle of the roadway.
