Police Log: Homeowner Wakes to Sound of Mailbox Being Toppled

At 7:36 a.m. on July 24, police met with a homeowner on Winding River Rd. for a report of vandalism. The reporting party stated that an unknown person had knocked over his mailbox at 2:30 that morning, a time he said he was certain of since he had been woken up by the incident.

The man reported that he heard a "loud, banging sound out in front of his house," according to police reports. The man looked out the window at this time and saw a motor vehicle speeding into the distance. He also noted that his mailbox had been knocked off its post and was lying in the driveway.

Officer Matthew MacDonald explained to the man that extra police patrols would be added to the area.

A search of the area did not yield any suspects, but Officer MacDonald discovered that three other mailboxes on the same street had damage. MacDonald spoke with each homeowner about the incidents.
