Home alone
6:06 p.m. — 1300 Block of Oak Forest Drive. Animal Complaint. Police received a complaint of a dog barking constantly. Once on the scene, the officer heard the dog barking. Peering over the back fence, he saw a small dog that appeared to be locked out and barking to be let in.
The officer rang the front doorbell and additional dogs began to bark at the sound of the bell. No one came to the door. The officer called the number associated with the residence but there was no answer, so he left a voice message.
The person who had complained said that the barking dogs at the residence are a constant nuisance.
The next day, the officer received a message from the homeowner saying that his spouse had accidentally left the dog outside. He apologized and said he would attempt to keep the barking to a minimum.
