Homeless Man Back in Woods with Tent: Police Blotter

A homeless man who was told last week to pack up his tent and leave the wooded area near the Ehrnfelt Recreation Center returned a few days later, a report said.

On May 7, police found the man had again pitched a tent behind the rec center.

He was taken into custody for trespassing.

On May 3, the man's campsite was discovered when his cooking fire set the surrounding area ablaze.  

He was warned then to find another place to stay.

Strange Find Underground

Police were called to Royalton Road May 7 after someone found a suspicious bag in an underground vault, a report said.

Police found an old gym bag containing a birth certificate, Social Security card and dirty towel.

It belonged to a Virginia Beach, VA man.

Suspicious Walker

A Kelsey Lane woman complained about a man walking up and down the sidewalk, talking on his phone, about 9:50 p.m. May 9.

The day before, the man was smoking a cigarette as he walked, the woman said, and flicked his ashes on her property.

He also set his coffee cup on her mailbox, a report said.

The woman told police she doesn't like the fact that her children can see him from their window.

High Beam Flashing

A motorist told police that every day for the last three months, a vehicle has been driving past him at Fair and Prospects roads and flashing his high beams.

Police spoke with the car owner, who admitted to flashing his lights because the other man has very bright lights on his truck that blind him.

He was advised to stop.
