The Blotter 

By

Youth Gone Wild: A troubled youth threatened a security associate at an alternative school designed for students who have been suspended or expelled from regular schools. The unruly teen apparently became angry and threatened to harm the 51-year-old security guard after he scolded the kid for violating school rules.

Ice Cream Bandits: An ice cream factory worker discovered that one or more people forced their way into the company's parking lot, broke into the refrigerated trucks, and made off with about $3,000 worth of ice cream. Adding gooey insult to injury, the thieves left the truck door wide open, melting another thousand dollars worth of the sweet soft stuff.

Must Be The Heat: A fight broke out at a construction site after a worker asked one of his colleagues to move his truck. The request apparently angered the truck driver to his boiling point. He grabbed the other man by the neck and threw him to the ground. Then, as had been requested of him, he moved his truck.

Creepy Caller: A woman called police after an unknown man left the following message on her machine: "Hi, beautiful. I've been watching you for a while and I'm thinking about what I'd like to do to that beautiful body. If you want to know who I am I will call tomorrow." Apparently, she preferred that the cops know instead.

Good Samaritan saves beer: A young man entered a convenience store and discovered the owner in a tussle with a shoplifter. The young man jumped into the fray. After a brief tussle the shoplifter ran off without his intended booty -- a case of beer.

Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting: Two drunken revelers got into a fight outside a bar. During the melee, one of the feuding partiers threw a bottle at the other guy's car, smashing the driver's side window. Both parties were arrested on charges of public drunkeness and fighting.

Rude Awakening: During the early morning hours, a drunk and drug-addled man showed up at a female acquaintance's home and forced his way inside. Once in the house, the zonked-out intruder began throwing stuff around the residence and smashing several drinking glasses on the floor.

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