Criminal damaging: Gerald Drive
Someone threw rocks at and damaged a pickup truck and a car parked in a Gerald driveway on Sept. 15.
A guest arrived at the Gerald home at about 12:30 p.m. that day. When she left at about 8 p.m., she noticed 10-15 rocks in the driveway.
The guest and the resident living in the home saw dents and scratches on the backs of their vehicles. In addition, a blue sticky substance was on the paint of the guest’s car.
The resident and his guest suspected children who lived in a home across the street. Police spoke to the children’s mother, who said she had supervised her children all day and they could not have thrown the rocks.
Police asked the mother if they could speak to her children and view her doorbell camera security video. She said no.
Police observed that the rocks in the woman’s flower bed were the same types of rocks in the driveway across the street.
In addition, police identified the blue sticky substance on the guest’s car as Kool-Aid. They found an empty Kool-Aid bottle in the neighbor’s yard across the street.
Police told the woman that detectives would likely contact her.
