Featured Call of the Day

Feb. 21-

At 2:55 p.m. police responded to a Sheila Avenue residence for a report of shots fired. When police arrived they observed two motor vehicles in front of the residence, a BMW and a Cadillac. The BWM had what appeared to be blood inside and blood droplets around the motor vehicle and in front of the residence. The Cadillac also appeared to have blood in the passenger side rear quarter.

Police spoke to the resident who was not forthcoming about what had happened. Police searched the place and found nobody needing medical treatment.

At the same time a detective responding to the scene passed a Honda coming from the direction of the scene that had a shattered rear window. Also the driver did not pull over for police and subsequently ran a red light. Police stopped the vehicle and questioned the driver who did say he was in an altercation at the residence. Police searched the driver and the vehicle and found no weapons but there was blood on the passenger door and window, which the driver said was from a gash he had suffered during the altercation.

Neither party wanted to pursue criminal charges.
