A Jefferson County Sheriff's deputy was sent to the 9000 block of West Arbor Avenue at 7:54 p.m. Jan. 30 on a report of a suspicious incident. A 48-year-old woman told the deputy she had bought the home a few weeks ago and a woman in her twenties had come to the door twice in the past two weeks and asked her some questions about the previous owner.

The woman told the deputy she thinks the younger woman may have been a process server, but she was not sure. The deputy searched the area but could not find the woman.
TWO MEN VICTIMS OF A PRANK
A man reported to Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies someone had put a pizza box with dog feces in it on his porch on the 10000 block of West Quarto Drive at 4:26 p.m. Feb. 2. The man told the deputy that between 3:30-3:45 a.m. the previous night, he heard some people talking in the street. The man said he looked outside, but could not see anyone. The next morning he went outside and saw the pizza box on his porch. The deputy spoke with a neighbor across the street who told him someone had placed a plastic container with dog feces on his porch the same night. The deputy found a phone number on the pizza box, but it was unable to be traced because it belonged to a pre-paid cell phone.
ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSHES STOLEN

WOMAN REPORTS SUSPICIOUS INTERACTION
A Jeffco Sheriff's deputy was sent to the Indian Hills Equestrian Center, 22828 Inca Road, Evergreen at 7:14 p.m. Feb. 1 on a report of a suspicious incident. A 47-year-old woman told the deputy she had gone to the center to check on her two horses, but she was nervous because she had recently filed a complaint about the center with animal control. The woman was waiting for her friend to arrive at the center when the caretaker of the center drove up. The woman spoke to the caretaker who told her the center's well was frozen and that she needed to bring some water to the center for her horses. While the pair were talking the man was holding a silver pistol in his hand with a "cover on the end of it." The woman said the man never threatened her and she never felt in danger, but she though it was strange the man would hold the pistol while they were having a conversation. The deputy spoke to the caretaker who told him he has a concealed weapons permit and had the gun with him because he had just accompanied a friend downtown who was carrying a large amount of cash. The man told the deputy he was tired of caring the gun on his hip, so he held it in his hand when he spoke to the woman and never intended to alarm or frighten anyone. No charges were filled in the incident.
