Bristol Tennessee Police Department
March 1
* Somebody chucked a cell phone at somebody else at a Bristol College Drive apartment, but police never figured out who did the throwing. Either way, a guy ended up locked out in the cold. First, the guy told police he’d broken up with his girlfriend then she got mad, threw his cell phone at him and locked him out of the apartment. But the woman said the pair had been drinking all day and got into an argument. When she called her mother to pick her up, he got mad and threw her phone at her. That’s when she locked him out of the apartment. Fortunately for all, “the cell phone did not appear to be damaged.”
* A Bay Street man sold a paint ball gun on eBay for $410. The guy who bought it told him, via e-mail, that he was sending a check and he was to cash it, keep his $410, “then send the remaining amount to him.” A check for $2,850 arrived. The man took it to his bank, where he learned it was fake.
* Someone called from 14th Street when a person “knocked on the door and then left the area.”
