Flushed Out: City Garage Employee Harassed by Angry Man
A city garage employee got a not-so-nice reaction from a community member when the employee was flushing roads and sewers in the 800 block of Corporate Court.

The employee told police a man was yelling at him, throwing snow at a snow plow and kicked a dog the man was with.

Police made contact with the man, who denied throwing snow at the plow. He said “why they were (expletive) off!” and that he is “pissed” that he sees Department of Public Works employees “sloughing off” all the time.

The city garage employee was gone from the area and no complaint was filed against the man.

Bank Robbery, High-Risk Traffic Stop

After a robber threatened to blow up at 1:27 p.m. Wednesday, police thought they had a
possible suspect driving near Ellis Street and Greenfield Avenue.
