Police Report: Entering Wrong Houses, Smashing Guitar and Throwing Rocks

The following items are brief summaries from the call log for Sunday and Monday, July 15 and 16. In all incidents where an arrest occurred, a charge is merely an accusation and not evidence of guilt.

Police responded to two calls Sunday morning about people entering the wrong houses.

In one case, a box of cereal was found on the floor and in the other, a man was found on the couch “sleeping something off.”

• A resident in the 100 block of North Moreland Boulevard called police at 7:43 a.m. after they woke up Sunday morning and found the back door to the house open. The refrigerator door was wide open and a box of cereal was left on the floor. Appliances and furniture were moved around. Nothing was reported stolen.
• A resident in the 800 block of South Comanche Lane Sunday at 7:32 a.m. found a man who “appeared to be sleeping something off” on his couch. The man was in the wrong house. No complaint was filed.

Door left open: In the 1600 block of Cedar Lane, a call was made to police Monday at 12:44 a.m. from a woman who had returned home after being gone all weekend and found the front door standing wide open. Police checked the house and garage and found nothing amiss. The woman found nothing taken and suspects a friend may have left the door open by mistake.
