This has got to stop. Complainant is not home, but his wife is and would like to see a deputy. Complainant called back and advised his wife is leaving and doesn’t want to see an officer. The last time it was on a Friday at the same time. Caller feels this is intentional. Caller was advised to call when this is occuring.

Complainant left the driver’s side and front passenger’s side windows cracked slightly overnight.

JUVENILE PROBLEM

Caller is no longer in the area, he just wanted to advise they were being a problem. Deputy spoke with the uveniles in question. They denied any threats, but stated that the male called them the “N word.” They then “flicked” him off. Three of the four males were black.
SUSPICIOUS
Aug. 8
1:12 a.m., Kinsman Road, Newbury. Cashier at Marathon says there is someone that has been sitting at pump six for roughly three hours with the vehicle running. She appears to be asleep.

6:40 p.m., Kinsman Road, Punderson State Park, Newbury. Check on a suspicious male who went out of his way to approach two young girls. He was driving a gold or tan older Buick. He left the area of camp 164 in the direction of the beach. He was a white male, possibly in his 50s. He was not wearing a shirt. They thought he might have been naked in his vehicle, but did not expose himself to the girls. After the girls told him to leave, he pursued them a little more before he finally left. The girls are with the mother now.
Aug. 13
5:07 p.m., Sanctuary Drive, Auburn. Female student going door to door saying she is from Texas A&M trying to sell books. She is an Asian, 19-year-old female driving a new Kia maroon in color. She asked the caller to pinpoint the houses where there were children. Caller was unable to see the license plate. Deputy patrolled the surrounding areas and could not locate the vehicle. Deputy met with the complainant who said a neighbor informed her that the suspicious female said her name was Jasmine. She asked about what houses had kids in them. Complainant provided her no further information and the female left.
Aug. 14
8:32 a.m., Robinson Road, Chardon. American flag was hanging on a tree and it was broken off. Complainant said this happened to one of his neighbors last week. Would like to speak with a deputy.
