Bloomington Blotter: A round-up of odd crimes

From IDS reports

From a bizarre public intoxication arrest to a full patio set being stolen, a few odd and unexpected crimes were reported to the Bloomington Police Department this week. All of the following accounts were collected from BPD:

Public intoxication

Officers responded to the outside area of a bar Sunday, where a woman was so intoxicated she laid on the hood of the police squad car. She was arrested for public intoxication.

Moped, chain theft

A 56-year-old man 
reported Wednesday his moped had been stolen. He told officers he had left it chained to a fence. The chain was also stolen, according to reports.

Lawn chair theft

Police officers responded to reports of theft and shoplifting at the east side Kroger on Wednesday after a full patio set, including a seat cushion, patio chair and a third unidentified item, were shoplifted from Kroger.

It was reported Thursday the full patio set had actually been recovered and the theft of the other items has been documented.
