Nov. 4

*  A Moore Street man called police at 6 p.m. to say that “his 16-year-old son has left and gone to Tennessee with an 18-year-old female to spend the night and [he] does not think it is right and wants to speak to an officer.”

* Police went to a Jefferson Drive home around 9 p.m. when a woman there reported that earlier, a man in dark clothes was “laying on the tree line behind her property.” She was “not sure if he is there now or not” and was hoping an officer would come check.

* A Prince Street woman reported hearing “lots of screaming from somewhere behind her property” at 7 p.m. Police found nothing.
