* Hey, Teacher, Leave Them Rappers Alone!: A white teacher got in the middle of a circle of rapper/students at a local high school and told them to go to class. The group dispersed, but as they were leaving, one of the rappers walked over to where the teacher was standing and told him that he couldn't make him go to class, then started to rap again. During the rap, lines such as "I'm gonna stand right here" and "I'm gonna kick your ass" came up. The rapper then made a kicking motion at the teacher and walked off, weaving out of sight through hallway traffic as the teacher yelled at him to stop. The rapper was charged with communicating threats.

* Two neighbors got into an argument, during which one of the neighbors told the other that he would "kick [his] ass in three months, when [he gets] off probation."

* She's not the one for you, man!: A man called police stating he was being assaulted by his woman. She hit the man with a phone she threw at him, then threw many other items at the man, and then poured gasoline on him.

*A woman received a call from a man using a disguised voice. He was asking for her husband, but when she asked for his name, he began to laugh and answered her by saying, "I'm the one who is going to cut off Dale Earnhardt's dick, cut off your head and shove it down your neck, bitch." Unfortunately for him, she recognized his voice from the laugh, and even has a recording of him threatening her husband on a friend's answering machine.

* A woman got into an argument with her juvenile daughter because she hadn't come home the night before (she finally made it home Sunday morning at 11am). She told police her daughter "appeared to be on drugs." The daughter became "irate and combatant" toward her family, damaging some personal property, before starting to curse and fight and spit in her mother's face. When her mother and brother attempted to restrain her, she apparently "tore up the living room." She then poured mouthwash on some shoes and CDs. It's well known that only druggies are that worried about keeping the CDs smelling fresh.

* A man left a message of urban dissatisfaction with the gap between the classes by defecating on someone's grass in Dilworth.
