1705 I drove up on a disturbance in progress. A resident was complaining that a neighbor at had pulled his parked vehicle down the street for the second time today and abandoned it in the roadway because he did not like it parked in front of his home. He stated he did not actually witness this but rather the offending neighbor had told him that he had done it.
I spoke to subject who was raking leaves from in front of his home where there had clearly been a recently parked vehicle. I noticed a complete and obvious set a tire drag marks originating from this area and ending exactly where the vehicle was found setting nearly 4 residences to the east.
He admitted he was very upset the vehicle had been left abandon in front of his home because his garbage cans were not emptied this week but he would never pull the vehicle to where it was now parked and refused to admit he had stated that to the neighbor.
I noticed a very large 4 wheel drive pick up parked in subject’s driveway which would have worked nicely for just such an occasion. I could not however locate any actual eye witnesses to this incident. A disturbance report was taken and informed how to file a civil small claims lawsuit against should he find damage has occurred to his. A report was taken #14-013127.

1630 I was flagged down in reference to a very large black Rotweiler running loose. It was reported the dog was threatening persons by its aggressive actions (growling and chasing people). Upon arrival the dog also charged at me and this was truly not appreciated from my perspective. While quickly taking inventory of my digits and limbs, I retreated faster that a Wildebeest pursued by a pride of hungry lions; all the while controlling an overwhelming urge to soil myself.
This rather unpleasant fellow weighed in at about 125 pounds and had the enraged disposition of a sleep deprived Grizzly Bear. I noted what surely must have been about 3000 gleaming sharp teeth inside of his salivating jowls as he appeared to be sizing up the bite width required to remove my thigh. Clearly, he was not pleased with my presence.
Now that we had established a mutual not-so-admiration society between us, I was quite pleased with myself when I successfully duped the bad mannered buffoon into a entering a fenced yard. I allowed him to believe I could be his next tasty mid-day snack should he enter the gate and commence to devour me.
He charged towards me once again as if I was wearing a necklace draped with fresh pork chops but he soon came to the sad realization that I could jump safely to the opposing side of the fence thusly thwarting his attempt to render me forever mutilated. I must claim an entirely new appreciation for chain link fencing on this day.
Finding it impossible to hide my outward laughter while closing the gate securely behind him; I taunted “Cujo” (from a safe distance, of course) on his basic lack of intelligence. Grinning from ear to ear animal control was summonsed to come take possession this beast and I rejoiced openly in my victory in this battle of wits with man’s best friend.
Unfortunately, my self-achieved elation was very short lived as our beloved local animal control agency advised me it was a legal holiday and they do not respond to any such foolishness on holidays. Awesome!! Thank-you so much for the warm inner feelings I now achieved knowing why I pay my property taxes each and every fall and spring!!
Nearly out of options, I left my new found friend drooling and captive inside his temporary quarters. I drove through the neighborhood fervently asking all persons who were found if anyone may know who in the world may possess such a hostile creature.
I was eventually directed to a possible owner. Contact was made with a pleasant chap who, acknowledged the dog was his after checking his back yard and finding his dog was auspiciously missing.
He immediately came to the address and retrieved his possessed possession without further incident.
An animal complaint case report was filed #14-005734
