The male party stated that there were youths riding scooters through the hallway which was disrupting the classes. He stated he attempted to advise them that they were not allowed to ride the scooters in the hallway and the youths ignored him so he told them if they didn’t stop he would take a photo of them riding the scooters in the hallway.

The incident is under investigation.

On February 8, 2018 at 7:45 p.m. Officer Carrasquillo was dispatched to residence on Pinevale Road for an odor of smoke inside the garage. Officers could not locate anything that would have caused odor of smoke, but while checking the exterior of the residence observed that one of the window screens appeared to have been damaged by a blunt tool in an attempt to force it open.

On February 10, 2018 at 11:10 p.m. Officer Carrasquillo was dispatched to Lowell Road at Arnold Road for a report of a cab fare evasion.
