A man approached a woman who lives in the 2100 block of Linton Lakes Drive and told her he found a package. Another woman walked up to them and told him to open the package, which contained thousands of dollars in cash and bonds. The man acted like he wanted nothing to do with it and the second woman suggested they split it. She said she would give the man $1,000 if he’d split the money from the package. The first woman also agreed to give the man $1,000 if he’d divide the money. She drove to a bank with them, withdrew $1,100 and gave it to the man and the other woman, who then took off without splitting the money from the package with her. She went back to the bank crying, but a bank employee told her nothing could be done.

Police responded to a report that a 50-year-old man hit his 46-year-old sister with a dead raccoon at their home on Hillhouse Street last Friday.

The woman told police the altercation began when she accused her brother of letting someone use her outside water spigot.

She said her brother began cursing and yelling at her, saying he did let someone use her water. He then struck her in the face with a dead raccoon he had been cleaning.

The man told police he did throw the raccoon at his sister, but only after she hit him with her phone.

Police noted the brother could not give a written statement at the time because he was intoxicated.

The man retrieved his property from the residence and left without incident. Officers advised him not to return.
