Police Blotter: Searching for 'Sophie' Door to Door

A man who apparently started celebrating the new year early on Dec. 31 went on a door-to-door search for someone named "Sophie," a report said.

A resident on Village Green said a young man who appeared drunk rang his doorbell about 9 p.m. and said he was looking for Sophie.

He got back in his car and pulled in a driveway about five doors down. He came back down the street a few minutes later and headed toward Fair Road.

Police couldn't locate the man or the Oldsmobile he was driving.

Eggs Not Related

A West Kerry Place house was egged the night of Dec. 29, leading police to suspect a group of about 11 p.m. that night was responsible.

But a youth involved in that incident on Forestwood Drive said his friends only threw eggs at another group of kids that had thrown snowballs at them -- not at any houses.

There are no suspects in the West Kerry egging. The homeowner told police the egg goo would damage the siding.

No Hitting

Police were called to the Dec. 30 after a male customer slapped the branch manager's hand.

A report said the hitter, an elderly man, was confused as to how the postal system worked.

Vegetable Mischief

An Arlington Drive resident told police his house was hit with something Jan. 1, but he wasn't sure what.

It was tomatoes. Police said two sides of the house were hit.

Christmas Vandals

Vandals went after Christmas lights early Dec. 30.

A resident on Hunting Meadows reported someone knocked over his Virgin Mary statue and cut his lights. Another resident of the same street returned home from vacation Jan. 1 and found his Christmas lights damaged.

On Shurmer Road, someone punched two lamp posts, breaking the glass.

More Burglaries at Apartments

Someone tried to get into an apartment on Cherry Tree Drive the night of Dec. 29 through a sliding glass door, damaging the door.

The resident said he checked his door the day before after seeing police there to investigate another attempted burglary, and found no problems. 

A security bar prevented the burglar from getting in.
