MAN NEEDS WALLET

WEST VALENCIA ROADK

AUG. 17, 7:31 P.M.

A man carrying a substantial wad of cash accused deputies of
sleeping with a woman who had allegedly stolen from him, a Pima County
Sheriff’s Department report stated.

Deputies reported to the restaurant where the man said the theft had
occurred. The reportee, a Caucasian male, said he had been having
dinner with a woman he knew, and she took $300 in cash from him.

During drinks, he said, the woman had asked for a dollar for the
jukebox, so he took a wad of $430 in cash from his pocket. Instead of
taking one dollar from him, she allegedly took the whole wad, returning
$130 before leaving with the rest of the money.

When deputies tried to contact the woman by phone, she called them
back willingly and told them the reportee had given her $60 to take her
daughter out to dinner; she had stolen nothing, she claimed.

Since deputies could not determine which side of the story was true,
they did not arrest the woman. When they called the man to inform him
of this, he answered the phone in an angry manner, saying, “What the
fuck do you want, motherfucker?” When the deputy identified himself and
said the woman would not be arrested, the man got even angrier,
accusing deputies of making a habit of “fucking” the alleged thief. He
then accused the deputy on the phone of being with the woman at that
very moment.

The deputy told him that if he had any complaints regarding
deputies’ behavior, he should contact the Internal Affairs Unit. The
man said he would.

JUST CREEPY

WEST PYRACANTHA DRIVE

AUG. 19, 6 A.M.

A man staying at his girlfriend’s house awoke to find his personal
belongings oddly sabotaged, a PCSD report said.

The man reported that he and his girlfriend had gone to bed the
night before around 11 p.m., and he woke up around 4:30 a.m. to go to
work. When he went to get his belt and wallet, which he had left on the
kitchen counter, he found that someone had used his girlfriend’s
kitchen knife to slice up the belt. The belt buckle was found in the
trash can. Someone had also gone through his wallet, removing his
identification and placing it face-up on the counter. No money in the
wallet had been taken.

Deputies saw the evidence and asked the girlfriend if she had an ex
who might have entered the house and done this while she and her
boyfriend were asleep; she said no. The girlfriend herself was
apparently not a suspect.
