Thief makes off with hardware store truck
9:21 p.m. 300 block of Cypress Edge Parkway. Stolen vehicle: A 35-year-old hardware store employee called the Sheriff's Office after one of his co-workers texted him to say he'd seen one of the store's flatbed trucks somewhere it wasn't supposed to be. The 35-year-old checked to make sure the truck hadn't been signed out for a delivery or for maintenance, and it hadn't. Both of the keys for the truck — a white 2008 model valued at about $45,000 — were still inside the store, and the employee told a deputy he didn't know if the truck had been left locked or unlocked, according to the deputy's report.
Man arrested after calling 911, swearing at dispatchers
9:57 p.m. First block of Utica Path. Abuse of 911: A 47-year-old man called 911 four recorded times and "used explicit language and insulted the dispatchers," without saying why he was calling, according to a Sheriff's Office report. Deputies went to man's home and found the man intoxicated. The man "proceeded to spontaneously utter that he had called 911 at least 20 times, but he still could not advise as to the emergency that was causing him to dial 911," according to the report. He yelled so loudly at the deputies that neighbors came out of their houses to watch. Deputies determined there was no emergency. They arrested the man for misusing 911, and he then swore at the deputies and threatened their lives and the lives of their families.
