Restitution Made on Stolen Flowers

Police said the owner of a local flower shop has decided not to press charges against a 35-year-old woman who made restitution for stolen flowers. Using credit from a closed account, the woman purchased a $130 flower arraignment on Nov. 9 and paid the money she owed after being contacted by police.

SATURDAY, NOV. 19

Battery Investigation

Police were dispatched to the front of a home in the 15200 block of Oak Road around 3:30 a.m. about a fight and found two men, aged 22 and 21, with blood and cuts on their hands and faces. One “had a swollen left eye that was oozing blood and completely shut,” police said. The only sober witness to offer testimony with police said the men began fighting after one of them keyed a car. Because the men were dubbed “mutual combatants,” police did not press charges.
