“Dear PoPville,
A call was made by a disgruntled customer to the cvs pharmacy that they were going to come in a “find them and…”; I wasn’t on the call, obviously, and I don’t know what the threat was, but the pharmacist was threatened enough that she felt her life was in danger. She was so calm on the phone, asking for guidance w police who offered no help. She finally just said “I don’t know why to do, so I guess let’s just get this on record that it happened and I’m scared for my life. Take that down.” (Paraphrased) (more…)

Thanks to Cait DeBaun for writing these up:
“3rd District Community Advisory Committee meeting (20-30 attendees)
The Third District has stepped up on-foot/bike/car patrols both in uniform and plain-clothed/undercover in the high-activity area. The Crime Suppression Team (where VICE is now centralized) has also increased activity in the 3rd district. The MPD Chief approved overtime pay to meet staffing needs for increased patrols.
The gun violence isn’t attributed to one specific cause. It ranges from petty disagreements to drug deals to gang activity and often comes with uncooperative victims and witnesses. (more…)
