    CAUSE FOR ALARM? — A Palm Avenue man told police a “suspicious male” came to his door trying to sell an alarm system. The dude asked nosy questions, such as when the tenant would and would not be home, and offered to begin immediately for $40.
    RINGSIDE SEATS – A Suncrest Drive man told a juvenile to come fight his stepson, with whom he had argued on the school bus, because his stepson picked on the other kid’s sister. When deputies questioned the man’s suggestion, he admitted trying to get the kids to duke it out, but said he was “going to have them use boxing gloves.”
    BEHAVING ODDLY – A Stanford Drive man came home to find his adult son ripping wires and breakers from a breaker box. When he ordered him to stop, the son started screaming and cursing, then beating his father. Someone called 911 and the son fled, hiding in the woods. Deputies could not coax him out, so they left – all but one state trooper, who lured the offender out. When being arrested, the offender said he hid because he did not want to go to jail.
    CAT FIGHT – Aunt to niece: Don’t hit the cat because your mama will start b----ing. This comment caused Mama to start raising Cain because the aunt used profanity in talking to the juvenile. Looks like Mama ended up doing what the aunt tried to prevent.
