Editor’s note: The following is the Avalon Sheriff’s Station significant incidents report for the week of May 2 to May 8, 2018.

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

May 2

• Deputies responded to the 350 block of Clarissa Avenue regarding a report that people at an Avalon residence were causing a disturbance. Deputies learned that a man was having medical issues so he was transported to the hospital. He was ultimately taken to the mainland for additional evaluation.
