The following information was submitted by the Marblehead Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.
The following is an excerpt from the Marblehead Police Department's log:
Tuesday, Nov. 8:
- At 9:14 a.m., a contractor hired to replace storm windows called police to report that a Front Street resident was accusing him of breaking into her apartment and threatening her employees at work. The man said the woman is a "well-known psycho" and requested that an officer accompany him to the residence to take pictures to "prove there are no jimmy marks on the door."
- At 9:28 a.m., a woman turned over cash that she reportedly found near the driveway to the police department on Atlantic Avenue.
- At 10:37 a.m., a woman wanted to report losing an 18K Greek key bracelet years ago. The woman said she reported it earlier but the person did not write any of her information down.
- At 1:32 p.m., a realty company on Pleasant Street reported that "another window (was) shot out with a BB gun." On Aug. 8, the same business reported that two windows had been shot out overnight. On Oct. 31, the owner reported that one of their trucks had been "shot with a BB gun again."
- At 2:25 p.m., a motorist was ticketed for running a red light on Pleasant Street.
- At 8:58 p.m., fire and police personnel responded to Washington Street for a report of a 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser striking a utility pole. The roadway from Washington Street to Pearl Street was shut down temporarily while the car was towed and the electric light department repaired the damaged pole. The accident did not result in any injuries.
- At 9:21 p.m., an employee at a Pleasant Street business called police to report that "two kids outside of the restaurant (were) causing problems." When asked to leave the kids reportedly punched their windows.

This is the reason BB guns needed a FID card to posses and carry. They are a fun way to teach your child(ren) how to SAFELY shoot and enjoy the hobby. But like anything, it takes just one weak link to cause a problem....

They always happened, they were never publicized. Don't always assume that kids did it.
