2:03 a.m. An underage drinker attempted to shoplift liquor from Safeway but was caught and detained by employees until police arrived.
The young man, who was already intoxicated, attempted to steal a bottle of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey Whiskey. It still had the security clamp on its top with the Safeway label in place. Employees became suspicious when they noticed the young man acting suspiciously, with a fifth of whiskey sticking out of the top of his backpack.
As he was being held by store employees, the young man told workers he had urinated on himself.
He later told police that he did not drink and that the bottle was given to him by a friend earlier that day. He said that it was already in his bag when he came into the store and was rightfully his.
The young man was sitting down, but was falling asleep so police had him stand up while speaking with him. He signed a no trespassing order for Safeway before police transported him home.
1:56 p.m. A resident on Pleasant Beach Drive reported that his mail was stolen. The resident put outgoing mail in his mailbox early that morning.
A neighbor later found some of the mail in a ditch, opened. All the opened mail had checks missing from inside.
