A woman said her juvenile daughter hadn’t been in contact since the previous night. The daughter called police, gave her location and said she wanted to talk to a social services agency. Officers talked to her and both she and her mother went to the police station.

A 911 caller said a boy put a knife to a man’s throat but put down the knife while the caller was on the phone, and she was able to get it away from him. The boy calmed down, and his guardian took him to the hospital.

At 12:24 p.m. a caller said he saw a man with a needle on his lap sniffing a white powdery substance off his fingernail, in a vehicle downtown. The vehicle was gone when officers arrived.

At 1:45 p.m. a man was seen yelling at a pole at the dock in the 4500 block of HPR. Officers found he was “acting out” but not doing anything criminal.

A store owner asked police to help ID a man seen on store video peeing on some clothing. Police said the man didn’t look like someone local.
