Bizarre crimes from Charlotte police files (April 4) 

By

Not the baby!: Police responded to a domestic disturbance call at a house on Monroe Road last week after a man was threatening a home and its owners. The woman living in the house told officers that the suspect was trying to break into her home to fight her husband. When the suspect realized he wouldn't couldn't get in, he opened the couple's bedroom window and threw a beer bottle into the room. The bottle hit a four-month-old girl who was sleeping in a crib inside the bedroom.

Desperate times: A 46-year-old man called police last week after falling victim to a very scary and needy suspect. He told officers that the suspect pushed him to the ground and held a knife to his throat, all in an effort to force the victim to "perform and participate in sexual acts with him against his will."

Got Beef?: A man working for Carolina Choice Gourmet phoned the police department after realizing that some men he had hired to do some work were really just looking for a very big meal ticket. He told officers that he gave two suspects who knew each other access to two separate work trucks with freezers attached. The trucks were filled with $5,000 worth of meat for the men to sell in Raleigh. The men left on their business venture in February and were supposed to return on March 3. The suspects have yet to show up.

Child's play: A 41-year-old woman filed a police report after waking up to realize that her children's bicycles had been stolen. She told police that someone had broken into her car overnight, rummaged through it and unsuccessfully attempted to start the ignition. The suspects then left the car alone and instead left the scene on two children's bicycles that had been left in the yard. Someone please call Nancy Drew.

Sexy bandit: Employees at the Victoria Secret store in SouthPark Mall called police after catching a woman shoplifting. The reporting employee told officers that the suspect aroused suspicion when she stayed in the dressing room for more than two hours. When the suspect came out, her clothes were bulkier than from when she entered and her bag was bulging with items. She was found to be concealing $890 in underwear.

Bad seed: Police intervened with a vandalism case taking place on Trade Street last week after catching a green-thumbed woman red-handed. Police witnessed the woman pulling a series of potted flowers out of the ground and throwing them on to the 100 block of West Trade Street.

Blotter items are chosen from the files of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
