Guilty, but not sorry. Arvada police responded to a harassment report in the 7700 block of West 61st Avenue on Aug 17. A resident checked her boyfriend’s phone to find he’d texted their neighbor about having sexual relations. According to a police report, the girlfriend admitted to kicking her boyfriend in the genitals and then repeatedly while he was on the floor. When asked how many times he was kicked, the boyfriend said “1,010” and the girlfriend said “enough.” The girlfriend then reportedly tried to confront the neighbor, who refused to open the door. The girlfriend was jailed on harassment charges.
Plea of ignorance. Arvada police were dispatched to Target, 5071 Kipling St., Aug. 17, because of a theft. The reporting party said he witnessed a woman leave through a fire exit in the back of the store with items she had not purchased, according to a police report. When officers contacted the suspect, they found merchandise worth $360.75, as well as drugs and drug paraphernalia on her person. Despite the proof presented on the surveillance footage, the woman claimed she entered the store with all the merchandise. She also claimed the drug paraphernalia was not hers and that she didn’t even know its purpose.
Expensive taste. A woman at King Soopers, 5301 W. 38th Ave., Wheat Ridge, was seen putting four steaks in her purse and attempting to leave without paying Aug. 27. She was issued a summons and a trespass notice at the request of King Soopers staff.
Imaginary friend. A man driving north on Wadsworth Boulevard on Aug. 22 was stopped by an Arvada police officer on a traffic offense in the 8800 block of West 72nd Avenue. The man had no ID, no vehicle registration and no proof of insurance. He said the car belonged to a friend and he was returning it, but he didn’t have the friend’s phone number or address. The man failed a voluntary roadside maneuver test and was taken into custody. The car had been stolen.
