Truck v train: A dump truck was dragged about 50 feet after it turned into a Norfolk Southern train on the Tidewater Logistics property Friday. Police said the truck was traveling parallel to the tracks when the driver turned left towards the tracks "and...the dump truck attached itself to the train, causing the locomotive driver window to break." The truck driver was treated for minor injuries, police said.
Gullible: A woman living at the city rescue mission said she purchased two items from Dollar Tree for $50, then gave them to an acquaintance at the mission to return because the acquaintance needed hair dye but had the money returned to her personal Cash App card. She said the woman "eventually returned $5 to her but not the full amount" and felt she had been "scammed or defrauded...of the money." A clerk confirmed making the refund.
Stand out: An employee at Kroger told police she saw a man wearing a black hoodie and khaki green pants in the alcohol aisle with "a large bulge in his front hoodie pocket that appeared to be the same shape as a large bottle of alcohol" Friday. She said the thief left the store without paying for it, she said.
Cold one: The manager of the midtown Speedway said a male took a 24-ounce Naddy Daddy beer from the cooler and stuffed it in the back of his pants Friday, then left the store without paying.
Washed up: A Market Street resident said he's having landlord issues because his landlord "was having issues (because he) was had washing his laundry inside the residence" Friday. He also said the landlord's pest control service had conducted an inspection during that time and was concerned he would be evicted.
Carded: A Market Street resident said a neighbor had her daughter's property Friday and refused to return it. She said her daughter had been in a relationship with the neighbor and when she moved out, her Social Security card was left behind. When police asked her why her adult daughter didn't call "she advised it didn't matter" and became argumentative. Police told her they couldn't force the neighbor to give the property back so she told them she "would handle it herself," though they advised her against that.
