A 22 year old female was reported to be posting derogatory messages about a 25 year old female on Facebook. The victim blocked the suspect and is now receiving messages through a 3rd party. A parent then got on the phone and said she would seek a restraining order. Police advised to have the victim bring documentation of the harassment. At that point, the victim would no longer speak to the officer and could be heard yelling in the background. She never brought in the documentation.

On Thursday evening a man filed a report about a suspicious act involving his 90 year old mother. The woman said the doorbell rang, when she answered there were two young boys and an adult male. The adult had a beard and was holding a golf club and said, 'we are here to play a game with you.' The woman shut the door and locked it. While on the phone with the man, the doorbell rang again, with no one visible through the window. The woman was instructed to call police if the incident happened again.

A 19 year old male was struck by a vehicle while riding a bicycle near East Birchwood Road. The driver stopped at the time and the victim said he was fine, so the driver left. The victim attempted walking home, but felt pain and could not continue. The victim said the vehicle was grey, while a witness said it was red or maroon.

A 33 year old Schofield woman was stopped for speeding. Police conducted a field sobriety test, and the woman was cited for first offense operating while intoxicated. The woman was released to a responsible party.
