Caller Tells Police He Kicked a Dog that Barked Too Much

Saturday, June 27

At 8:57 a.m., a caller reported that a boat on a trailer was an eyesore and wanted to know whether it was legal for the boat to be there. A responding officer had trouble locating the boat, but eventually found a “small inflatable dinghy” on a stand that appeared to be ”well cared for” and looked as though it was about to be painted.

At 9:33 a.m., an officer came upon a group of landscapers who had blocked the street using cones. The crew was advised to remove the cones and hire a police detail if it intended to block the street.

At 8:10 p.m., a caller stated that a neighbor’s dog continued barking incessantly even though the neighbor had been asked repeatedly to quiet the dog.

The dog owner was advised to not engage with the complainant.

At 11:56 p.m., a loud party was reported.
