Police report the woman was shouting insults and profanities and when she was told to stop, the man arrested interjected himself and told an officer to be quiet in a hostile manner. The man was arrested, to the protest his friends, and when the woman refused to leave the area after being told to, she was also placed under arrest.

The sixth sense

Information. A 76-year-old woman reported her passport, safe deposit key and Chase credit card missing after giving them to an man in her retirement home 10 days prior.

The woman said she did not know what his name was, but that she knew which room he resided in. When the officer asked if it was possible he could still have her things, she replied: "I don't think so, I have a sixth sense about these things."

The woman asked the officer to accompany her to the bank to get a new safety deposit key. The officer asked how she got to the police station and she said she walked across her retirement home to the gas station and asked a stranger for a ride. 

Contrary to her "sixth sense," the items were still in the possession of the man in her retirement home. He gave officers a black cloth bag full of her items "and then some" according to a police report.
