Arcade PD
Music complaints made two nights straight
Complaints of loud music were made Sept.
16 and 17 at a Davis Road house.
The first night, a woman said a family
get-together was celebrating a nephew’s eighth
birthday and the music was turned down.
The second night three men were outside
drinking beer and the music "was very loud."
The sound system was attached "to some very
large speakers outside,” an officer said.
One of the men, who is the woman's hus
band, was argumentative. The officer said he
“wanted to change the topic to horses, chickens
and roosters and him not being allowed to keep
them or something to that effect."
JUVENILE HIT WITH
STICK, CALLER SAID
An officer went with a Jackson County
Division of Family and Children Services staff
member to respond to a juvenile being hit with
a stick by his grandfather.
The boy was hard to understand because of
a cleft palette. His grandfather helped interpret.
The boy said a bruise on his arm was from
fire ants hitting and biting him. “The bruise
looked like he had been shuck,” the officer
said.
The grandfather’s girlfriend said bruises on
his knees were from climbing and playing.
