Tales from the front row

Police673

Allen Park Police Department recently issued the following announcement.

Snow or no snow, the shenanigans stay steady. 

Officers were dispatched to the area of 15200 Regina on reports of a Ford Focus  driving up and down the street for 30 mins , with no headlights. LIFEHACK, ya need headlights at night. 

Officers found the Focus on the street, running. The officer illuminates the driver. The driver provides a single finger hello to the officer then reclines the seat all way the back. LIFEHACK-We prefer the entire hand when you wave.  The driver, ignores the requests to roll down the window. Odd, as he seemed so warm and friendly.. He eventually rolls the window down and a conversation is had. Some items of note during this convo. A very strong odor of intoxicants filled the crisp night air when the window was rolled down and the driver spoke. The open bottle of “Fireball” and the open can of ”Budweiser” are both noteworthy and what we call a clue as well as , Open intoxicants in a M/V.

Tests were given and stuff and blood alcohol was a .13%.  

“Shopping “ with no money should not be a thing. We responded to a retail fraud in progress. Officers arrived after the “shopper “ had exited the store. We were given a description of this “shopper” as she had exited the store with purpose and desire to leave.

Officers checked the area and located the individual behind a business in the area. She was breathing heavily. She matched the description and a conversation was in order. When speaking with her, she blurts out. “Okay , I need to say something, I threw everything in the dumpster”.  She was not lying. The products she had stolen were all recovered in the dumpster. 

The “shopper” was a frequent “shopper”. She was issued violations for the incident.

The next shopper pulled the ole hide stuff under stuff trick. This isn’t a new trick. 

He selects 6 sheets of aluminum. Then covers the aluminum with a sheet of drywall. Get the register and apparently forgot about the aluminum?! Pays for the single sheet of drywall and leaves the store. Out at his vehicle he is observed putting the aluminum on top of the drywall? He now goes back into the store pushing his drywall and aluminum and over to the service desk. He now presents his license for a no receipt refund….Gets a merchandise card for over $500 bucks. He heads off into the sunset.

But his “shopping” is not flaw free. He will have chance to speak upon these shopping habits to a judge.

That’s a sample of stuff we came across
