When he confronted the motorcycle mama, she claimed she received the bike for trimming for a marijuana operation. She was oblivious that the motorcycle was stolen and returned it without arguing. His bike had considerable damage. *There was a report of a llama loose in the roadway in the 200 block of Kerby Mainline at 12:27 p.m. When JCSO responded to the call, a tenant claimed that he heard people in his walls and under the floor, and they were damaging the house. The claim of trespassers was unfounded. (So was there a llama?) *A trespasser at Shop Smart Foods tried to smuggle a sandwich into the bathroom at 2 p.m. He was told for the 200th time to leave because he was not allowed in the store or on the property. *On June 5 at 12:30 p.m. the manager at Shop Smart Foods called foul when a gal walked out without paying for her chicken and other items.

Kerby Avenue. Her initial report stated that he stole her purse, shattered her tablet, broke a car window, and slashed a tire. When law enforcement spoke with her at 2:03 p.m., she was not aware of any items taken, and surveillance cameras did not record any incident. One creative solution would be to quit inviting him over. Maybe chamomile or valerian tea to stop the nightmares? *The Spirit Weavers were still going strong at 1:38 p.m., and there were no issues during the basket weaving event in the 1000 block of Ollis Road, so they extended their permit.

Falling embers will have nothing to burn. #3 Screen & Seal Wind-borne embers can get into homes easily through vents & other openings and burn the home from the inside out. Walk around your house to see what opening you can screen or temporarily seal up. #2 Store Away Store away furniture cushions, rattan mats, potted plants & other decorations from decks, porches & patios. These items catch embers and help ignite your home if you leave them outside. #4 Rake Embers landing in mulch that touches your house deck or fence is a big fire hazard. Rake out any landscaping mulch to at least five feet away. #5 Trim Trim back any shrubs or tree branches that come closer than 5 feet to the house and attachments, and any overhanging branches. #7 Close If ordered to evacuate make sure all windows & doors are closed tightly, and seal up any pet doors. Many homes are destroyed by embers entering these openings and burning the house from the inside out. #6 Remove Walk around your house and remove anything within 30 feet that could burn, such as woodpiles, spare lumber, vehi- cles and boats—anything that can act as a large fuel source.
