Around 5 a.m. April 8 an officer responded to a residence in the 1000 block of Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard for a robbery report.

A man told police through an interpreter that a man and woman he knew knocked on the door and woke him.

While he was talking to the female, the male walked around his apartment and then they left.

He said he felt something wasn’t right and went into his bedroom and discovered his wallet had been tampered with and more than $400 was missing.

The man gave the officer descriptions of the pair.

About noon April 8 an officer responded to Main and Plains streets for a disturbance.

A crossing guard said she was working when a woman pulled up and parked in an SUV and approached and started yelling at her. Then a family member of the woman also approached and joined in yelling at her.

She said the women were yelling at her about something involving one of her daughter’s friends.

A witness recounted seeing the women yell at the crossing guard and said she thought they were going to assault her.

The officer took identifying information and consulted another officer, who said the children of the women had been involved in a fight at the high school.

About 5 p.m. April 8 an officer responded to a school in the 2000 block of Cesar Chavez Drive for a report of threats.

A teacher said she has had ongoing problems with the parent of one of her students.

She said for more than two years the woman has claimed she was picking on her daughter due to her race. The teacher said she has no issue with the child’s race and is in fact married to someone of that race, but was disciplining her for behavior issues.

The teacher said she had disciplined the child again that day and during a meeting to discuss it, the mother told her she should come back to the school later and “kick her (butt)”, leading her to fear she might be battered by the woman.

The mother later apologized to the school’s principal and the teacher said she did not want to pursue charges.

The man was treated for his injuries at the hospital.

The dogs were not located and classified as strays.
