Suspicious Person/Activity - Woman reported receiving an odd call on her business line from a mumbling man who identified himself as Frankenstein and made about as much sense as same.

Suspicious Person/Activity - An officer investigating the strange abandonment of a Ford Bronco in the middle of the roadway was approached by a man whom he believed was the owner of the vehicle, but who was in fact another person who was also missing his Ford Bronco. After the second Bronco-less man helped the officer find the first one, the abandoned Ford was reunited with its rightful owner. The second Ford remains at large.

Civil - A man who had resigned from his job and was trying to leave town called to complain that his previous employer had gone to the trouble of collecting him at the airport after his departing flight was cancelled but had the temerity to leave him sitting in a van for several hours. An officer advised the man there was nothing criminal about being left to his own devices in a van.

Trespass - A drunken fellow's tirade against his mother's alleged affair with a man young enough to be her son resulted in the fellow's being ordered from his mother's house.

MVA Damage - A driver who elected to take a running start out of any icy parking lot and into traffic failed to take into account that other motorists might also be using the roadway and promptly struck a passing vehicle. No injuries, moderate damages and the driver was cited for Failure to Exercise Due Care.

Assistance Rendered - Officer presence was requested while a man was terminated from his place of employment, due to concerns about the number of firearms in the employee's possession and his likely response to the loss of his job.
