No equipment was in the roadway and no one was working there.
At 12:26 p.m. a caller reported a domestic incident in progress in a downtown apartment building, with someone yelling and a woman throwing something. A second call gave the room where the dispute was occurring. An officer talked to a woman who refused to give her name. She said she and a man had been having an argument, and the man had already left. The officer said she’d been crying but didn’t appear injured.
A Specialized CrossTrail disc bicycle was reported stolen the night of Sept. 30 from Katlian Street.
At 2:47 p.m. a caller said two men were arguing. Police tracked down the caller, who said they were at Back Beach and one man had hit a male relative in the face. Officers found both men were intoxicated but able to care for themselves. They had gotten into a dispute over a recent death in the family and got into a scuffle, where neither was hurt, police said. They left in a cab after working out their problem.
