Two of them were removed between Sept. 4 and Sept. 26, and part of a wooded area that included four small, wild evergreen bushes and wildflowers was cleared.

A Pantigo Road woman called police after receiving a voice-mail message Friday afternoon stating that the caller was with “the local police department” and that she had “four serious allegations” against her and should “contact them immediately.” The 39-year-old, concerned it was a scheme to defraud her, called the real police.  

Police responded on Saturday afternoon when two people sitting in front of the post office on Gay Road refused to leave. An officer spoke to a man and a woman, both in their 60s, and they eventually moved along.
