Police made a traffic stop on a red Mitsubishi sedan with an expired registration in the 600 block of Morrison Springs Road.

The officer asked them if they both consumed marijuana and they both said yes. The officer did not locate any marijuana in the vehicle, so he gave them a verbal warning about the expired registration.

A man in a room at Erlanger Main Hospital, 975 E. 3rd St., called police to report a theft. He said that on Friday at approximately 5 p.m. his sister brought him $3,500 cash in a bank envelope, as she had been tending to his home expenses while he was in the hospital, per his request. He said his ex-girlfriend had asked for $1,250 to pay Loanmax Title Loans (Brainerd Road) to keep her car, which she pawned, from being sold. The man said he had originally bought the 2008 Mazda 3 (unknown registration) for her and agreed to give her the $1,250. He said at approximately 11 p.m., his nephew was present in the hospital room when the ex-girlfriend came in. He said she was argumentative and was refusing to leave when he asked her to. He said he told her, "Take your money and leave," to which she said, "I need more money than that!" and took $3,500 which was laid out on the bedside table and left. He said his nephew had witnessed this. When asked why the ex-girlfriend was argumentative, he told police she was mad that he had given his nephew money. At this time he added that he had given his nephew $100 from the bank envelope. Police again asked the man how much money was in the bank envelope his sister had brought him and he said it was $3,700. When asked about the unaccounted $100 he added that he had given it to his sister and asked her to deposit it into his savings account. He told police that today he had called Loanmax to find out if the payment had been made on the car. He was told by the manager that the payment had not been made and the car had been subsequently sold. Police spoke with the nurse on shift who said that she had worked the night of the incident, but did not have specific knowledge of it. She pulled up the nurses' log from that evening and one of the registered nurses had made notes documenting that the man had "willfully given the ex-girlfriend $3,500" and had then called for police at 4:30 a.m. to report a theft of the money. Police attempted to call the man back for a statement and left a voice mail message to contact the non-emergency number, which the officer provided. The officer then attempted to call the sister for a statement and the phone number provided was out of service. The man could not provide more accurate contact or identifying information for the people involved. The theft of $3,500 is unfounded due to the computer written notes in the nurses' log documenting the willful transfer of $3,500 and inconsistent recorded victim statements on separate calls.
