Hot dog Heist: Male takes coneys and runs
At 1 a.m. March 6, an officer working uniform security at Skyline Chili observed a white male walking out of the restaurant without paying for his food. The male subject in question was standing near the cash register and then slowly walked toward the exit and left the store without paying. The cashier told the officer that he had not paid his bill and the officer stepped outside and spotted the same male running down the street away from the restaurant. The officer was able to run after the subject and caught up to him approximately one block away. The male was escorted back to the restaurant. The officer could smell a strong odor of alcohol. The male paid his bill. The officer asked to see the male's wallet in which he discovered a fictitious ID. He was cited for Sales and Use by Underage Persons.
Police delivery boys gone bad
At 1:15 p.m. March 6, units were dispatched to 115 Arrowhead Dr. in response to a theft. Upon arrival, a male resident of the apartment informed the officer that there had been a knock on his door and when he opened the door two subjects with knives forced their way inside and one of the subjects held the victim. The subjects demanded to know where his money and marijuana was. The victim told the subjects where the items were, in his bedroom, and one of the subjects went to his bedroom and took approximately $400 in cash and two or three ounces of marijuana. The victim stated he knew both of the subjects as they had previously worked together at Dominos Pizza as delivery drivers. After a brief investigation, the officers discovered that one of the identified subjects was currently at Domino's working. The other subject was located at his residence. They were both taken into custody. Both subjects admitted to breaking into the victim's home, but denied that any cash was stolen. They did provide locations for where the stolen marijuana could be found. Both subjects were transported to Butler County Jail. They were charged with Aggravated Robbery.
Intoxicated male kicked out of Skyline
At 2:30 p.m. March 7, an officer was working uniform security at Skyline Chili when he observed a white male enter the store that appeared to be extremely intoxicated. The male subject was swaying from side to side and was leaning over the service counter to keep from falling down. The male's appearance was disheveled and his eyes were blood shot. The officer observed the male for several minutes and observed him eat crackers from several bowls that were not his own. The male subject was in line to place an order but was not moving as the line progressed. The officer asked him if he was going to place an order and the male did not respond. The manager and the officer both asked the male to leave the restaurant due to the fact that he was so intoxicated and was holding up service to other customers. The subject refused to leave. It was at this point that the officer grabbed the subject by the arm and asked him to step outside. The subject began yelling at the officer and screamed that the officer did not have permission to touch him. The officer escorted him out, but the male attempted to enter the store three more times. It was at this time the officer arrested the subject. The subject refused to cooperate and was transported to OPD where a sober friend was called to come pick him up. He was charged with Disorderly Conduct.
