Early Wednesday morning, a CPD officer was on patrol in the DeMun area when he observed the windows shattered on 3 vehicles. The contents of the vehicles were rummaged through; however, it does not appear anything was stolen. The investigation is ongoing.

A short time later, a man quickly wore out his welcome at a local hotel when he yelled at the staff, poured the complimentary coffee onto the lobby floor & attempted to steal the bell from the front desk. Officers escorted him from the building without further incident.

Wednesday evening, a man realized he accidentally left his ring on the countertop in his office building's shared bathroom. When he returned to work, he discovered the ring was missing.

A woman parked her vehicle in a public parking garage Thursday morning. When she returned Thursday afternoon, she discovered it had been damaged by a second, unknown vehicle. No witnesses or suspects have been identified.

A CPD officer was conducting a business check Friday evening when CVS employees alerted her they believed a man was attempting to shoplift. The man admitted to concealing merchandise on his person & had no intention of purchasing the items. A search revealed he was in possession of multiple items from CVS as well as a suspected controlled substance & drug paraphernalia. He was arrested & the case will be forwarded to the St. Louis County Prosecutor's office for consideration.

An early morning traffic stop in the area of S. Bemiston & Bonhomme Saturday resulted in the driver's arrest for DWI.

A traffic stop in the area of S. Hanley Rd. & Davis Dr. late Saturday night resulted in the driver's arrest for possession of marijuana.
