Incidents
Reported Monday:
HIGHWAY 301 SOUTH - Prescription medications, $200 in change and three rings were reportedly stolen in a burglary.
THE BARN MOBILE HOME PARK - A man said several men came to his home and accused him and his brothers of stealing items from a nearby residence. There had been an altercation between several men, including the accused, before deputies arrived.

The complainant's brother also said that he had been struck in the face but did not know who hit him.

SUNCREST DRIVE - A woman called 911 to report that she and a neighbor were fighting physically. She said a man drove onto her property and spun tires, revving the engine. When she approached the man, he attacked her, threw her to the ground and stomped her, she said. While there were no visible signs of her being attacked or injured, she claimed that she sustained a shoulder injury and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. A witness told deputies that the female complainant slapped and pulled the man's ear during a verbal argument, but he turned away and didn't attack her.
