Police Blotter: Kids Caught "Corning" Neighbor's Yard

Police stopped a vehicle with seven teens inside about 12:45 a.m. Jan. 23 at Ellsworth Drive and Waterford Parkway and questioned them about why they were out.

The six girls in the vehicle admitted to "corning" a house -- throwing cans of corn into the yard -- on Ellsworth.

Police took them back to pick up the cans and warned them about the curfew violation. 

Officers then called the father of the girl hosting a sleepover to pick up the teens, and also called the father of the teenage boy driving the car and told him what had happened.

A passerby asked police to check on a lamb sitting on the sidewalk on Howe Road about 7:20 a.m. Jan. 24.

The caller said he believed it was someone's lost pet.

Police located the animal. It was a deer.

Police to the Rescue
