October 5

October 6
- Deputies were flagged down by a man told them he saw a vicious animal.

The deputies arrived and determined the conservancy vehicle had been sold and had a new owner who would be removing the conservancy stickers. There was no crime being committed.
- Deputies responded to a disturbance call on the 300 block of Clemente Avenue. The caller stated a man and woman were arguing and slamming doors. Upon arriving, the sergeant and deputy were contacted by the neighbor. The neighbor told them the disturbing party was a big guy and they should probably bring more help. The sergeant and deputy could hear yelling and screaming from inside the location and knocked on the door to check on the welfare of the occupants. A large, shirtless, buffed dude answered the door and began yelling and cursing at them. He told them to leave and get the bleep away from his air BnB. They told him they would not be leaving until they checked the wellbeing of his girlfriend. The man again yelled at them and told them to bleep off. The sergeant told the man he was not being very nice and they would not be leaving until they spoke to the woman. She then came out of the front door and told them she was fine, had not been assaulted and her boyfriend was drunk.
They then left the location as no crime had been committed. As they left, the man continued to scream profanities and they told him to have a nice day.
- Deputies responded to another disturbance call at the same home on Clemente Avenue. The caller stated the angry man was yelling again. The deputies arrived and walked to the front door of the home. Upon arriving they were greeted with F Bombs and middle fingers by the same man. The man stood at the front window and once again began screaming at the deputies. The man was seen being escorted to an upstairs bedroom by his girlfriend. Once the man was put to bed, the deputies asked his brothers who were at the location to make sure he went to sleep and did not drink anymore. The deputies left the location and were not summoned back.
October 8
