The female victim was observed to have a large knot on the top of the right side of her forehead, and she advised a 16-year old juvenile had hit her in the head with a small metal pipe.

THEFT: Officers spoke with a male victim at 9:17 a.m. regarding him giving his brother $1,400 in cash to give an exterminator on Aug. 7. The victim advised when he returned home, he learned his house was still infected with insects and believed his brother did not pay and took the money. The victim’s brother was contacted and advised that $500 of the $1,400 was a personal loan to him, and the other $900 was for work to be done to the victim’s house. He also advised the workers never showed up, so he kept all $1,400 for himself and was going to pay the victim back. The prosecutors’ office advised the officers that due to the victim willingly giving his brother the money along with the brother stating that $500 of it was for a personal loan, and keeping the rest with the intention of paying him back, it was determined that this would be a civil matter between the two brothers with no charges.
