Police blotter: Doofus doing donuts ruins a soccer field; and a threat takes 2 days to sink in

That’s not a road

March 17 – An unknown vehicle drove through a soccer/baseball field, leaving huge tire marks all over the turf.

Police were dispatched at 10:19 a.m. to the 3500 block of 50th Street court where the park was seen ripped apart by the tires. The officer took photos of the tire marks.

Better late than never

March 16 – An irate customer threatened to “shoot someone” in a store, but the clerk dismissed it as a joke. Two days later, a store manager heard about the threat and insisted the employee call the police.

Police were dispatched on March 16 to the 5800 block of Soundview Drive, and later spoke to the employee who heard the threat.

The employee said the customer stated something along the lines of “It’s good a police officer is here so I don’t shoot anyone.”

Police are attempting to contact the man who made the threat.
