The owner said she had noticed the beer bottle inventory did not match cash sale records and had watched the video surveillance camera to see how employees were ringing up sales.

ALCOHOL NOT ALLOWED
On Dec. 7 at 12:30 a.m., a deputy conducted a traffic stop at Evergreen Parkway and Douglas Park Road in Evergreen.

CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION
On Dec. 9 at 5:42 p.m., a deputy was dispatched to contact a couple who had a business disagreement with someone at a residence on Upper Bear Creek Road in Evergreen. The man said on May 26 his wife was approached at their home in Huron, Ohio by a man asking her if she wanted a subscription to a magazine. The woman wrote a check to "American Cash Awards," which was cashed on May 30. Because the contract said it might take 120 days for the magazine to arrive, the husband was suspicious and called the company on June 4 to request a full refund. They said he would receive a refund in 15 days, but he said he had not received it and efforts to contact the company proved futile. The deputy went to the last known address of the company in Evergreen and contacted the building owner who said the owner of the Great Lakes Circulation company had not rented the building for two years.
PACKAGE EMPTY
On Dec. 10 at 6:17 p.m., a deputy contacted a 38-year-old woman regarding a theft. The woman said when she returned home at 6 p.m. she found a package had been delivered. When she examined the box, there was nothing in it. She said she was expecting a keyboard from Back to Basics. When she contacted FedEx, they said the keyboard had been delivered at 2:56 p.m. She was not sure if someone took the keyboard but wanted the incident documented.
