The Blotter is a look at some of the unusual things that happen on the crime beat in
A man called police because people had been harassing him in person and over the phone. He wanted to know how to have someone trespassed, so police gave him that information.
The man called back 30 minutes later to report that they were at his home again. He had invited them.
Police spoke the man suspected of harassment, and he told them he was simply trying to collect money the man owed him for drugs.
The drug dealer had an arrest warrant, but police weren’t particularly happy about being used to protect a drug user from people he owed money too. They did trespass the drug dealer.
“[He] was contacted later to sign the trespass warning and advised in the future he will not be allowed to use the department to keep the drug dealers from collected the money he owes them, especially if he calls them over to facilitate the trespass warning being issued.”
