Siblings Lock Out Brother; Dog Struck By Vehicle

A 911 call led police to investigate an unusual domestic disturbance on Friday.

The call came in around 10:04 p.m. with the caller reporting that his brother, who may be intoxicated, had just left the house driving a Dodge Stratis.

Officers responded to the home at 18 Euclid St. and, after an investigation, removed firearms belonging to one of the male residents of the home, as the person's FID card had expired.

In the meantime, the brother that had left the house showed up at Police Headquarters on Main Street to complain that his brother and sister had changed the locks, effectively locking him out of a home that the the trio shared ownership in.

Charges were not filed ... a report was.

Road hazard reported

Details of the law explained to young men

Officers were able to locate the young men. When asked about the incidents, they denied placing firecrackers in mailboxes.
