Arvada Police

FALSE REPORTS PLAGUE TENANTS
A 21-year-old woman and 22-year-old man who live together in Arvada went to the police station at 11:56 p.m. April 19 to report that someone had been making false reports to police, causing police to come to their apartment on a few occasions. According to the two, police had come to their apartment in June and September 2007 and on April 13, in response to receiving calls about domestic disturbances. On April 13, someone had called police and stated, "I need help," then provided the residents' phone number. Police arrived at their apartment at 1 a.m. that night. The residents also said someone had called Xcel Energy on their behalf to say that the power was out in their apartment when it really wasn't. They said their lease is up July 1, but they are trying to leave the apartment complex as soon as possible.

KITTEN SHOT WITH AIRSOFT GUN
A 37-year-old man who lives on the 6100 block of Garland Street told police at 2:59 p.m. April 19 that his neighbors had shot his new kitten with an Airsoft gun. Police contacted a 15-year-old boy at the neighboring house, and the boy admitted to shooting the cat with a rubber-band gun, which he presented to officers. The boy said he shot the cat because it comes onto his property and causes his dog to "go crazy." Police later contacted the boy's 42-year-old father, who said he was actually the one who had shot the cat, and that he believed his son took the blame to spare him from trouble. Police advised the man that due to his complicity, he and his son would both receive summonses for throwing missiles. The kitten's owner signed the boy's municipal summons, but police were unable to contact him to sign the father's summons.

Wheat Ridge Police

ESCORT LEAVES KNIFE BEHIND
A 53-year-old man told police at 10:57 a.m. May 5 that he had phoned an escort service with a number he found in the phone book and arranged for a female dancer to come over to his hotel room on the 4700 block of Kipling Street at 8 p.m. May 3. A heavily tattooed woman who gave no name came to the hotel room and danced for the man for about an hour before leaving. The man stayed in his room the next day to recover from drinking alcohol, and he noticed a silver knife lying on the floor where the dancer had disrobed. A closer inspection by the man revealed what looked like dried blood and hair on the blade of the knife, which police confirmed. A check of recent activity at the hotel showed no knife-related incidents. The man agreed to provide police with the dancer's name if she contacted him.

BOY SAYS HE FOUGHT STRANGER
A police officer who responded to a home on the 4300 block of Kipling Street at 4:31 p.m. May 5 for a separate matter noticed that a juvenile at the scene had a bloody nose. The juvenile told police he had been walking somewhere along West 38th Avenue when he and another male exchanged words and swapped punches. The boy said he and the other person then went their separate ways after the fight. The boy described the other male for police, but they were unable to locate him to confirm the story.
