Manhole Theft, Cadillac Kicked and Stun Gun Found on Intoxicated Man Among Police Investigations

Manhole swiped

The owner of the Val Mar Apartments observed three men July 19 enter the parking lot and steal a manhole cover. The males picked up the manhole cover and placed it in a silver or white Mitsubishi Galant. The men fled the scene.

Car keyed

A resident in the 19800 block of Shady Lane reported July 21 that four males, between the ages of 12- and 14-years-old, who were riding BMX bikes and with green rims and wearing knee length shorts allegedly keyed the driver's side of her 2012 Ford Edge. The resident said she had seen the teens the previous day ride over the Shady Lane bridge and hang out at Avalon Elementary School. Police had a report of damage to a storage building on July 20 and believe they may have been involved in that incident.

Kicking a Cadillac

Police arrested a 51-year-old Eastpointe man on a charge of malicious destruction of property July 20 after a witness observed him allegedly kicked a car in the lot of Don Gooley Cadillac. Police arrested him in front of South Lake High School. He told police he fell off his bicycle near the dealership due to construction equipment on the sidewalk. He became angry and kicked some cars in the lot. 

Stun gun found

A 20-year-old St. Clair Shores man was arrested July 19 at Shoreview Court and Greater Mack for carrying a concealed weapon. Officers were on patrol when they saw a man laying in the grass at the corner. When officers attempted to speak to him, he got up and started stumbling. He initially said he was stung by a hornet, but had no sting marks. Offices smelled alcohol on the man, when asked how much he had to drink, he said "not enough to put me over the legal limit," according to a report. Officers searched the man and found a pocket knife along with a stun gun in his pockets.
