Police responded to reports of two men trying to break into a residence on Park Street on March 21 around 2 p.m., one of whom has a tattoo of a gamecock on the back of his right hand. The victim said that he had given the two men, who claimed to be looking for landscaping work, his business card, and they called him later that day asking if he was at his house. The victim's roommate saw the two suspects messing with the victim's window and confronted them before they left and the police arrived.
On the evening of March 21, police and animal control removed a maltreated dog from a home where it was not provided with food or water. The dog, which belonged to 74-year-old Francis Schmieding, was struggling to walk around the backyard and was thin enough that its ribs and hip bones were visible. Schmieding never responded to any knocks at his door, so animal control officers removed the dog from the residence. The dog was slightly aggressive when they first approached it, but calmed down after it was fastened to a stretcher.
March 25 around 10:15 p.m., police responded to reports of an elderly woman causing a disturbance at a convenience store on River Drive. Diane Crawford, 60, was begging for money from the customers. She was about to buy several items, but then became violent and began throwing and crushing some of the merchandise. When the victim started to call the police, Crawford grabbed his collar, yelled at him and shoved him. She then went back to her apartment, where police took her into custody.
