Police Log Humor: Resident Makes Noise Complaint About Sleeping Man

We realize that police business is serious, but every once in a while there are entries in the local police log that make us chuckle.  We thought we’d share them.

Police responded to a report of a Lynnfield driver and a Wakefield driver exchanging threats over a parking space at 24 Walkers Brook Drive.

There are two circumstances under which this may be acceptable: if it was the absolute last parking space available in the lot, or if it was the absolute first space in the lot, right next to the handicapped spot.

On second thought: No, no it isn't. On the upside, this is probably safer place to vent road rage than on the roads.

An anonymous caller reported that a man was standing in the middle of the road on Winter Street and yelling. An officer checked the area but could not find the man.

Police officers have explained to me that being taken into protective custody is an unpleasant experience. The lights stay on all night and they wake you up every few minutes to make sure you’re okay.

With that in mind, try not to follow the above subject’s behavior. It’s a good way to find out just how unpleasant the experience can be.

Police responded to a report of neighbors yelling and slamming doors at a Washington Street apartment. An officer spoke to the man who had been accused of being loud. The officer said the resident was home alone, sleeping.

Maybe he has the loudest snore in town?
