The officer found the dog in the house with air conditioning and plenty of food and water.

On Aug. 4 at 9:58 p.m., a resident called police because there were 10-12 children being loud near the Cherokee Trail cul-de-sac. Officers arrived and told the kids, who were playing wiffleball, to go home because it was past curfew. They cooperated.

On Aug. 12 at 9 p.m., a caller reported that six boys were playing in a construction area near Plaza Lane in Harvest and the caller could hear them breaking glass in the alley. An officer located the boys at a nearby home and spoke to the parents. The kids were taken back with brooms and trash bags to clean up the mess.
On Aug. 15 at 4:26 p.m., a woman reported that she was vacuuming her car at the car wash on Hwy 377 at Frenchtown Road, when a black man backed his car into the spot next to hers.

On Aug. 16 at 4:29 a.m., an officer saw a suspicious vehicle parked in the back parking lot of Earl’s Pizza. The officer found a 19-year-old man, who said he was sleeping, amid vape pens in the car and conducted a search. He had the man toss all his vape pens in the dumpster and then let him leave.
On Aug. 16 at 6:56 p.m., a caller reported seeing two vehicles driving southbound on John Paine Road in the northbound lane. Two northbound vehicles had to swerve, and nearly hit each other, to avoid the southbound vehicles.
On Aug. 17 at 9:07 p.m., a caller reported that a vehicle was stopped in the middle of the road at FM 407 and Hwy 377, and the driver was slumped over inside. Another caller stopped to help the driver and said the driver woke up but was not aware of what was going on. When police arrived, the man told officers that he had two beers at a brewery in Roanoke. An officer conducted a field sobriety test and “did not observe enough clues” to arrest him, so they had the man agree to call for an Uber and leave his vehicle in the CVS parking lot.
On Aug. 19 at 8:53 a.m., a resident reported seeing a wild cat and thought it was an ocelot, which is not native to North Texas. An officer advised him that what he saw was a bobcat and it will not attack people.
