Mystery of the purse
4:21 p.m. — 400 Block of Riverside Drive. Burglary. The victim said she rode with a friend to a restaurant to eat. After dinner, the friend dropped her back off at her house at 10 p.m.
The next morning, the victim could not find her purse. She said her house was locked and nothing else was missing. She called and cancelled all of her cards and was advised that none of them had been used.
She tried to call her friend several times but had not been able to get a hold of her.
The victim was adamant that she could not have left her purse in her friend’s car, because she needed her keys to get in her house.

Sudden end to evening
10:00 p.m. — 900 Block of South Nova Road. Assist Agency. On routine patrol, the officer saw a pickup truck traveling northbound approximately 70 mph and weaving between vehicles.
The officer conducted a U-turn, but could not catch up to the vehicle, due to the speed and the traffic. He saw the truck pull into a gas station, and then saw a small plume of smoke and dust near the back of the property.
Upon arrival, the officer saw the pickup had crashed into a tree. The officer stopped behind the truck, and a male got out of the driver’s side. A beer bottle fell out of the truck onto the ground.
The driver had a small laceration on his forehead and appeared disoriented. He used the side of the truck for balance, and the officer could smell alcohol.
The driver asked to officer to just “take the truck home.” The officer informed him it was not drivable, and he said, “The truck is good to drive, but I’m not.”
The driver was taken to the hospital. A copy of the footage from the patrol car, showing the driver stepping out of the truck, was turned into evidence.
