A man on Citygreen Way told police a woman claiming to be Debbie Davidson with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office left a voicemail on his phone at 9:34 a.m. and told him to call back with an urgent legal matter. He then called back and spoke with a man who did not give his name. The man then told him, "Since you missed jury duty, a warrant was issued for your arrest," but then the man told him he can participate in a program where he can send money to them to clear up the matter. He suspected this was a scam and immediately hung up and called the real HCSO, who told him "we never ask for money," and also they issue a jury summons if he misses jury duty but "no one will arrest you."

A man told police he was leaving the Wagner storage facility in his semi-truck and trailer when he accidentally cut the turn too short and damaged the property fence at the entrance. The man said he was unable to clear the bridge that crosses Alton Park Boulevard, so he pulled into the large Wagner parking lot to turn around when he knocked over the fence. Not realizing he had hit the fence, he said he continued driving down Alton Park Boulevard to Market Street and stopped after workers from Wagner flagged him down. The man was very apologetic and did not realize he had caused the damage. Police then relocated to Wagner, 3319 Alton Park Blvd., to get a witness statement and view the damaged fence. An employee said he earlier witnessed the damage occur and provided a witness statement. He said that he was working when he saw a semi tractor trailer drive into their parking lot, turn around and knock over their fence while exiting.
