An officer on patrol in the 900 block of East Hickory Hill Road noticed a van parked off of the roadway. The driver of the van attempted to drive off when the officer’s patrol car approached.

The driver was cited for driving with a suspended license.

A woman came to the police station and said that someone withdrew $4,000 from her Bank of America checking account from several different bank locations.  

Police responded to a home invasion burglary in the 100 block of Eagles Nest Circle in Canyon Oaks.  The suspects had already left the scene.  

After being stopped by police on Hwy 377 for swerving all over the road, the driver explained that he was looking in his rearview mirror a lot because he was afraid that the bag of cans in the bed of his pickup was going to fall out. He was told that he needed to pay more attention to his driving and secure his load better in the future.

A caller in the 100 block of Pecan Acres said that someone banged on the front door and then ran away.

An Oklahoma man who was found sleeping in his pickup truck in the Paradise Foods parking lot was arrested for outstanding warrants and possession of drug paraphernalia.  

A man came to the police station with a letter he received from the American Family Sweepstakes Commission out of New York stating that he had won a drawing for $146,000. A check for $2,860 was also enclosed and he was instructed to deposit it into his account and wire the money to a female in Canada to cover taxes and fees for the grand prize. The man had already deposited the check into his account, but did not wire the money. He was advised by an officer that it was more than likely a scam.
