Attempted burglary. Several window screens were cut and windows were broken in an apparent attempt to get into a house in the 400 block of 6th Avenue S.
Vandalism. Somebody spray-painted a vehicle's tires and rims with green paint, left a bag of compost and old newspapers on top of the vehicle, and placed several orange construction cones, sand bags, metal posts and other items on the curb alongside the car. The victim had no idea who would have done it or why.
Warrant. While patrolling an alley between 3rd Avenue S. and 4th avenue S. because of a recent spate of burglaries, an officer encountered a man riding a bicycle and stopped him. A records check found that the man was wanted on a Washington County warrant for disorderly conduct. He was arrested.
