Even though I sleep soundly at night ever since moving to Maine, trouble is afoot. The following crimes were reported in our local community newspaper, the Northern Forecaster: Falmouth, 4/6 at 11:58 am: A man flagged down an officer on Route 1 to report his girlfriend had taken his handgun. The officer spoke to the woman, who admitted she had the gun and turned it over to the police.
Falmouth, 4/11 at 1:24 pm: A man who caused a disturbance in Walmart was asked by officers to leave the store. When officers arrived, the man was swearing and yelling at employees as he tried to return an item without a receipt. The man told police he spoke loudly because he is Jamaican and denied he had been yelling.
Yarmouth, 4/11 at 7:55 am: Police responding to a call about missing funds at the H & R Block office on Route 1 were told it could be a clerical error, not a theft.
Yarmouth, 4/11 at 2:53 pm: Police responding to a call about a prowler at Juniper East discovered the caller was unaware her brother had been upstairs taking a nap. Police found him watching TV and eating a snack while the caller had hidden in a downstairs closet.
From the Florida police blotter as listed in today's Palm Beach Post:
