There were I 14 haffic tickets issued and 7 parking tickets written. For the month of March there were no felony complaints. There were eight misdemeanors reported: two for Petit Larceny, two lbr Criminal Mischief, two for Aggravated Harassment, one for Fraud and one for identity Theft. One petit larceny was the theft of a bicycle taken during the overnight from the front yard ofa residence. The case is still open. A resident reported a theft from his home office ofcash and a check which had been removed from his coat pocket. The resident believed that he knew who had taken the items. After an investigation by the officer into the theft, the resident stated that he did not want to pursue any charges. The case was closed with any prosecution declined. While on patrol, the offrcer observed numerous street signs u,hich had been damaged and removed from their sign post. Upon investigation, it was found that there were seven locations where the signage had been damaged or the posts bent. It appeared that the damage occurred dwing the overnight. The second criminal mischief was reported damage to the complainant's vehicle. This has been an ongoing problem for the several past months. The owner would get the damage repaired and then the vehicle would be damaged again by an unknown subject. This activity has also taken place in the City of Ithaca as the Ithaca City Police Department has also taken several reports on this. The investigation is continuing. One aggravated harassment case was the report of a female that she had broken off the relationship with her boyfriend as he had been acting irrational lately and has had some mental problems in the past. The complainant was concerned for her safety and that of her young child. Since the break up, the male had been attempting to communicate with her by calling, emails and texting. The complainant had requested the male to stop all contact. When the male again emailed the complainant, the police department in the location that the male subject resided was notified to check on his welfare and advise the male to stop all attempted correspondence with the complainant. This action was done and there has been no further problem. The second aggravated harassment case involves a youth being a victim of a cyber bully attack. Another classmate sent out several emails, claiming to be tlhis youth, which offended the. recipienis. The officer met with the school official and advised him of this problem the youth was having with other students caused by the email. The school official was going to try and identiff the student responsible and deal with the problem at the school. Since an official complaint was filed with the PD, the officer needed to be kept informed of situation. A resident reported that he had been notified by his bank that fraudulent charges had been charged to his bank card" The bank had caught the charges, the purchases stopped and his card cancelled. The resident had been advised by his bank to file a report with the police department. The final misdemeanor reported was identity theft. A residenLt had been in the process of changing her insurance from one company to another and while doing a check, she was informed that there was a record of another person residing at the house with a diflerent first name but same date of birth. The resident was concerned that her identity might have been violated. After an investigation, it was found that it could have been an information entry error as the unknown name did not appear anywhere else" The resident changed all her passwords and would look over all reports that she requested and will notify this department if there are any further problems. There were three violations reported for the month of March, all for Disorderly Conduct. Two of the complaints were reports of loud voices and noise from parties being held. The subjects responsible for the parties were advised to shut them down. In both instances a JA Refenal was completed. While on patrol, the officer observed numerous males running up the roadway carrying an object. The males were dressed only in their underwear. After investigating the incident, the officer found that the subjects were pledging a fratemity and this was part of the fraternity prank. The object the subjects had was a composite taken from a sorority. The house mother of the sorority was contacted and did not want to pursue larceny charges but to have the item returned. All subjects were transported to CHPD, processed and issued appearance tickets for court. Three 19 year old males, one eighteen year old male and one twenty year old male were all charged with disorderly conduct andhazing. There were three Village Ordinance complaints: one for Dog Control, one for Solicitors and one for Open Container of Alcohol. In all three cases, the incidents were resolved and there were no further problems.
