Small town crime: August 2, 2015

Crime marches on in rural America, this time as reported in The Connection in Iron River, Wisconsin. 

Here are a few reports from the July 28 issue:

•"Report received of a scruffy looking creepy farmer who approached her and her friends and wanted them to come with him to see a 'cute baby calf.' When they got to the farm, it appeared abandoned and there was a tractor blocking part of the road. She and her friends became nervous and when they went to leave the farmer ran up to them and was loud and creepy."

•"Deputy checked cabin on Tar Paper Alley, Port Wing and found the main door secured, and the rest of the building appeared secure. A total 360 view wasn't possible due to a territorial skunk."

•"Caller reported he has a 'retarded' dog at his house. He states he brought her in the house and she bit him an scratched him. States it's his neighbor's chocolate lab and it has been at his house for an hour. He tried to call the neighbors to get her but they won't answer. Would not give the neighbor's name to dispatch."

•"Caller reports he was assaulted last night. He said he was sleeping when the subject came home and she threw a phone at him, jumped on him and then threw a landline phone at him. He states he then got up, met friends at the end of the driveway and they drove him and his vehicle to Milwaukee."

•"Received a call stating she, along with others, have been poisoned. She states the other person is running down the road and she is going to die. The phone line was disconnected. She thinks she has been poisoned due to the fact that they were drinking non-alcoholic drinks and then started to feel weird. She thinks she was knocked out for a couple of hours. The other female that was with her was wearing white shorts, blue shirt, and the female that ran is the one that poisoned her. Caller states her husband and her had an argument last night about him beating her up a couple of nights ago. She states he talked to someone about this but did not report it. Now the caller wants officers to tell her husband to not treat his wife so mean. Caller is now denying anyone else was there this evening. Per officer, this appears to be alcohol related and possible alcohol withdrawals going on."
