Tuesday, Nov. 17

Monday, Nov. 16

- A man in the 10700 block of Highland Drive called police, believing that burglars were on his back porch. Although he could not see anyone in the dark, he heard a lot of commotion and believed that they were moving his barbecue, which caused the motion censor light to turn on. Police later learned that it was Monday’s windstorm that was disturbing the barbecue, not potential burglars.

- A drunken man was seen lying upside down in the bushes along the Fanno Creek Trail, in the 12500 block of Main Street, near the Tigard Police Station. The man was heard screaming and yelling at passersby. He had earlier been seen walking along Main Street, bleeding from the arm. He attempted to enter the McDonald’s restaurant at 12090 S.W. Main St., but was refused service.

n A woman in the 14700 block of 109th Avenue called police to report a potential scam. The woman had been contacted by the Publisher’s Clearing House — or someone claiming to be the Publisher’s Clearing House — and was notified that she had won $2.5 million. However, in order to receive the money the woman would need to send the company $300.

n Several Playstation video games were stolen from a house in the 8100 block of Carole Court. Residents of the house believe that the person entered through back door and had used a key.

- Two women stole three large containers of paper towels and three large jugs of Tide laundry detergent from the Safeway supermarket at 15570 S.W. Pacific Highway. The two women were caught on the store’s video surveillance cameras.

Traffic on Hall Boulevard was stopped while police searched the area for the gunmen.
