Forest Acres
Forest Drive: Police were called to a grocery store at 8 a.m. Wednesday after employees said a man had stolen a “cart full of groceries.” When officers arrived, the employees said the man had gotten away but they had recovered the cart with the groceries. They told the officers the man had come into the store and gotten a cart he filled with “a bunch” of laundry detergents and bleach, along with packages of chicken wings and crab legs. They said he just walked past the registers and was pushing the cart out of the parking lot when he realized he was being followed. At that point, he abandoned the cart after grabbing as much as he could carry as he fled the area. Police will review the store’s video surveillance tapes to try and identify the culprit and the store said it would prosecute.
Trenholm Road: A man went to police headquarters at 3:30 p.m. Monday after he said his girlfriend was threatening him. The 60-year-old man told the officers he had driven his 53-year-old girlfriend to the store for cigarettes. On the way, he said the girlfriend realized she didn’t have her wallet and asked him to borrow $12 for the cigarettes. He said he gave her the money but she came back with a bottle of wine instead. He said the woman had “been drinking all day” and then started becoming belligerent towards him. He said she had accused him of stealing money from her and got “so mad” she told him she was “going to stick a dagger in your heart.” The man said he took the woman to her home and then “came straight to the police” to report her threats. He said he wanted to file a report because he was afraid she might actually harm him. He said he “wanted out of the relationship” because he could no longer take “all the ongoing verbal abuse” and he told the officers the woman was “abusing alcohol and drugs.” He is also the woman’s landlord and said he might need the police report for eviction purposes.
