RATHER BE THE HAMMER THAN THE NAIL

Police were called to the 2600 block of Arnold Street at 7:25 p.m. The caller said two men came to his door threatening to beat him up. They pulled on the door and popped off the lock, so he went to the kitchen and came back with a hammer. The suspect fled to a car outside, so the victim pursued and broke out the car window with his hammer. The suspect then got out of the vehicle with a hammer of his own. As soon as he entered the victim’s property, the victim hit the suspect in the face with the hammer. The suspect fled. No charges were filed.

THE CHARM BANDIT

A woman called police just before 9 p.m. to the 400 block of East McKinley Avenue saying she had just been robbed at gunpoint. She said she walked up to her front door when a man in a ski mask approached her demanding money. She said she had no money but offered him her jewelry. She gave him her wedding ring, earrings, including one that was gold and one that was silver with two dolphins, and necklace with two charms that said “Big Sis” and “I Love Mom.” Investigations continue.
