From Richmond Hill Police Department reports:

DUI, etc: An officer patrolling I-95 around 3:33 a.m. Feb. 17  spotted a Chevy pickup “weaving inside the middle lane,” and after seeing it veer a couple times  pulled it over near mile marker 85.

When the officer approached the driver, the man gave him a North Carolina ID and said he didn’t have a license.

“I noticed his eyes appeared glossy and his words were slightly slurred,” the officer noted. “I then noticed (the driver) as resting his right arm on an open 12 pack of Bud Light beer.”

The man told the officer he was coming from Flagler Beach, Florida and heading back to home to Ashville, North Carolina.

“I found this odd as he was currently traveling South which is the opposite direction,” the officer reported.

A field sobriety test, etc., followed. The 63-year-old driver was cited for having a suspended license, DUI, failure to maintain lane and open container.

Hit and run: A man reported Feb. 18 he was walking with his daughter on Summer Hill Way when he saw headlights coming from behind him and saw the vehicle coming at them at a high right of speed.

“The complainant, fearing they were about to be struck, pushed his daughter out of the way, “ and as the vehicle passed by, “the passenger’s side side-view mirror struck him on his back,” then turned onto  a nearby street and kept on going.

The man gave a description of the vehicle and said he and his were unhurt, but told police he’s had “a lengthy history of negative interactions,” with neighbors and believes it was their vehicle. He didn’t have proof, however, and a later check of vehicles in the area came up empty as far as damage to side-view mirrors. A report was put on file.

Matter of record: A man who lives by a golf course reported Feb. 11 he was driving home and about to turn into his driveway when “he heard a loud crashing sound,” and then “noticed his front windshield cracking.”

The man said he pulled into his garage and then called police, and then went into his back yard “and assumed whoever hit the ball should be going by his house soon. He advised a group of four younger men came by and confronted them about the damage to his car.”

“(Complainant) stated one of them said he could have been the one who hit the ball but told him that is the risk you take living on the golf course,” the report said, adding that the complainant told the “subject he needed to fix his windshield and he told him that it is not his responsibility.”

The reporting officer noted the damage to the windshield and gave the complainant a case number.

Tag violation, suspended license: A woman in a Mitsubishi was stopped around 10:40 p.m. Feb. 16 because her license plate “appeared to be freshly spray painted and gave the appearance of a homemade license plate.”

The car had also recently been spray painted, and it turned out after a check with dispatch that the woman’s license had been suspended in Virginia. She was cited, etc.

Matter of record: A 61-year-old man reported Feb. 13 he believes a neighbor “entered his property and damaged his outside security camera by spray painting the lens and housing with orange paint.”

The man told police he didn’t have video because “he can’t afford to activate the system yet.”

The man said he suspected it happened while he was and believes the neighbor “was the offender because he has had problems with her in the past and nobody else.”

He was told how to get warrants for past incidents in which the neighbor caused him trouble.
