Dodging an Ass Whopping: A 32-year-old woman said an acquaintance called her house several times after she asked him not to call. The last time he told the woman that he was coming over to her house to kick her husband's ass. The woman told her husband what the man said. Her husband called police.

Battery Thief: An Auto Zone employee said a man came in to purchase a battery for his car. He wrote down the man's name and telephone number and proceeded to install the battery. Once it was installed, the employee told the man to come into the store to pay for it, whereupon the man jumped into his car and sped away.
Random Threat: A 51-year-old man was chilling at home when the telephone rang. He picked it up and received a menacing message from a man he didn't know.

The man has no idea why someone would threaten his life and is fearful that the caller will try to carry out the threat.
