A woman walking her dog by Deerfield Lake June 3 was upset when five teens who had been fishing came up, grabbed her dog and made a loud noise, startling the pup.

A report said the dog was so frightened he almost bit the kids.

The teens then made inappropriate remarks to the woman.

She reported the teens' vehicle to police.

A Winding Trail family is apparently being target by someone for harassment.

Woman Followed

A woman reported about 3 a.m. June 5 that a bunch of kids in a car were yelling at her as she was going to CVS in her wheelchair.

He met the cabbie at the police station and paid his bill. No word on if he gave the driver a tip.
