A man on Oak Street told police he believed he struck another vehicle. The man said he was attempting to park his white Ford F150 when he believed he backed into a parked red Nissan VSL. The officer saw damage to the front bumper of the Nissan, however, it appeared to be old damage as there were spider webs on the damaged area. The officer asked for a UTC officer to allow them to review video footage of the incident. Through video, neither the officer or the UTC officer saw the man’s truck strike the Nissan. There was also no damage done to the man’s truck. The UTC officer ran the Nissan's tag in attempt to contact the owner if it was a student of UTC, but was unable to locate a student matching the name of the vehicle's registered owner. Due to the lack of evidence on either vehicle of new damage, it is believed there was no crash.

He told police that when the first package was delivered, his neighbors brought it over to his house when they realized it was not theirs.

He told police that he went and asked the neighbors if they had gotten his package when it was delivered and they said that they hadn't seen any other packages at their house.
