Wanted more: A man who spent the night with a woman in the 1200 block of Lincoln Avenue told police she attacked him when he told her he was going home, Saturday. He told police she scratched his face, and they confirmed "he had fresh scratch marks that were bleeding." He said they're not in a relationship and "he just wanted to go home."
Say goodbye: A Ridge Avenue man wanted two people who'd been living with him removed from his residence because they're "causing a disturbance," Saturday. Police tried to talk with the woman, but she'd locked herself in an upstairs bedroom and refused to talk with them. They discovered she had an active protection order against her boyfriend, but he'd left before police arrived. Police told the homeowner that he'd have to evict the woman because she'd been living there for a year. Two hours later police had to return to the residence because the woman and her supposed boyfriend had caused a disturbance. The male left before police got there and the female was "unable to calm down." She and the homeowner both reported there'd been an argument and told police the issues they've been having "have been ongoing for quite some time" and said she doesn't know what to do. She was unable to explain why police had to return to the property, and police said the conversation "continued to lead nowhere."
She said, he said: A woman in the 400 block of South Sixth Street told police a man was inside her residence, refusing to leave, Saturday. She said they'd started arguing and he "dragged her out of bed by her foot." He said all he did was ask her for money to get a coffee and it triggered an argument, so he walked outside to cool off so it wouldn't escalate. She'd told police he doesn't live there, but he told them they've lived together for seven months.
Phoned it in: A woman thought she left her iPhone 14 on the back porch of a residence in the 1200 block of Plum Street, Saturday. She told police she went to the location where it last pinged and opened the front door to ask to the resident if she had seen it, and wanted police to talk to the woman who lived there. Police told her to stay away from the residence and then spoke with the homeowner, who said she didn't know the woman and does not have her phone, but confirmed that on Friday a stranger opened her door while she and her kids were inside and wanted to pursue charges.
Not going: Police were told a man they'd been interacting with on a regular basis would not leave the emergency room bathrooms and was "becoming belligerent," Sunday. He was told he'd have to leave the property.
Flaky: A woman who has had frequent interactions with police was in the 600 block of Market Street, screaming, Saturday. She claimed she was being followed by an unknown male and was afraid and began to scream, then told police he'd already left the area, police said. She was advised to keep the noise down.
Carrying a grudge: A city resident said his neighbor has "been harassing him and making statements that she was going to have him stabbed and shot" ever since her dog attacked him, Friday. He said he heard a male passing the woman's apartment asked if he "could stab him yet" and his neighbor said no, "because they do not need that heat right now."
Party central: Neighbors complained about a party in the 1300 block of Plum Street, Sunday. Police said as they pulled up they saw individuals jumping out the windows and running from the scene, and several others were standing on the lawn. They located the host, telling him to send his guests home for the night due to several noise complaints being called in. Police stood by until they'd left, but while patrolling the area officers "observed several groups ... walking back to the residence after being told to leave the area." One woman flagged an officer down and asked the officer to accompany her to the residence to get her friends, who were still inside.
Nodded off: A caller was concerned because a man was sleeping in a vehicle in the 2600 block of Chestnut Street, Friday. Police woke the man up and he went inside his house.

Fled: Police responded to the 1500 block of Maryland Avenue after callers reported a "seemingly intoxicated" male walking in the roadway, Friday. They located a male matching the man's description, but when he saw the cruiser approaching he ran into a house.
Bucket list: A man in the 1300 block of Belleview Boulevard told police he had a raccoon trapped in a bucket and wanted to know what he should do with it, Friday.

Tired of sharing: A downtown resident said he wants his car keys back from a man who had them at his house, Friday. He said they'd been sharing the car but it's in his name and he wants his car back because the other man "doesn't have a license."
