Hugo Police Reports
This Issue's Statistic: There were eight residence checks since our last publication.
Cleaning Up His Act: A male in an old blue station wagon was seen throwing items into the weeds at Goodview and Hwy 61 on June 14 at 3:11 p.m. Police did not locate any litter in the weeds.
Uncle Sam's High-Risk Pay-Off: On June 16 at 5:25 p.m. someone from the 13000 block of Europa Tr. Way N. called to inform police that he was receiving calls from someone referring to himself as "Uncle Sam." This individual said the government supposedly wanted to give him $7,000. Upon hearing this, the complainant became rightfully suspicious. The caller ID traced the number to a Chevrolet dealer.
Dangerous Lip-Service: At 4:44 p.m. on June 18 a woman called the Washington County sheriff's office because she discovered that her daughter and a friend of her daughter's had been calling 800 numbers and had contacted a place called "Secret Encounters." She saw that her daughter had received two messages on her cell phone from an older male. She was concerned about her daughter contacting this man and wanted to know what to do.
Did He Leave The Oven On?: Someone parked a Caprice in the middle of 137th St. N. and 137th St. Ct. on June 19 at 11:34 p.m. A man exited the vehicle, took off running and abandoned it. Police found a citation in the car but could not locate the owner.
In Poor Taste: At 2:00 a.m. on June 20 police wrote a underage consumption citation to a vomiting minor who was laying in the backseat of a car at 125th St. N. and Fenway Ave. N. Under Fire: The overhead phone lines in the 5000 block of 146th St. N. caught fire on June 23 at 3:14 p.m. The Hugo Fire Department was dispatched.
In-secure Salesman: A young man was spotted trying to sell and give away security systems several times in the last two weeks. On June 19 he was seen somewhere on Fondant Ave. N., on Flay Ave N., and on Europa Trail in the late afternoon. On June 23 he was observed in the 5000 block of 150th St. N. at 7:03 p.m. He was supposedly wearing a Honeywell t-shirt and asking for people's social security numbers.
Smashed: On June 24 at 1:56 a.m. a patron at Ricci's Saloon did not have enough money for cab fare. Police escorted the patron to the liquor store to retrieve $25 from the ATM to pay the driver of the cab. At 3:34 a.m. there was a loud crash in the parking lot of Ricci's. A black sport coupe was spotted leaving the scene after hitting a taxi in the parking lot. Police pursued the weaving vehicle on Highway 61 at speeds over 100 miles per hour but did not apprehend the suspect. It is not known if these two incidents are related but police are investigating this possibility.
Beating Them To The Punch: On June 25 at 10:50 a.m. a male from the 1600 block of Fiona Circle N. called to report an assault that had occurred on June 23 at a friend's home. A car had apparently rolled up with its lights off and two males had jumped out and come running after him. They had punched him and had damaged his door. Police questioned why this incident had taken two days to report. Although the man no longer had any marks from this fight, he explained that he had waited to report it because he hadn't "thought it was a big deal." He changed his mind, however, when he found out how much the car damage would cost.
Trashy Music: On June 25 at 11:13 p.m. someone from the 5600 block of 141st St. Ct. N. called to report that some juveniles were throwing compact discs into their neighbor's yard. Police went to talk to the neighbors.
