The Blotter is intended to show that there is more to policing than many realize and is based on reports from the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.
Nov. 27: A Panama City man invited a woman he barely knew to his home. Some time later, he dropped her off at a drug dealer’s house. The man then discovered that the woman had stolen some of his credit cards. The man informed deputies the woman was a “crack head.” Deputies registered his complaint against the woman and advised him to cancel the stolen credit cards.
Nov. 27: Maybe he likes arcades? Thieves took items from the back of a Panama City man’s truck. The man works in the lawn-care business. The thieves made off with a gas trimmer and a leaf blower valued at about $570. They also took $10 in quarters from his front seat.
Nov. 27: A Lynn Haven man is a victim of a computer crime. Someone changed the password on his account, preventing him from using it. The criminals then sent out e-mails to his contacts saying that he is stranded in Africa and needs them to send money to him quick. The man needed a police report in order to get the e-mail service to change his password back.
