From a woman smearing mustard on someone’s car to a man walking around Best Buy removing cords out of their packaging, several odd or unexpected crimes were reported to the Bloomington Police Department this week. All of the following accounts were collected from the BPD. Here are some of the weirdest:
Man removes cords from boxes at Best Buy
On Wednesday, a manager of the Best Buy on Third Street reported a man was walking around the store and taking cords out of the packaging. The police were notified, and a 21-year-old man was arrested for trespassing.
Break-in results in battery in microwave
An office on 11th and Walnut streets was broken into during the night of Jan. 15 or the early morning of Jan. 16.
During the morning of the 16th, office employees found the glass of the front door busted and the door unlocked. There was a battery inside the microwave, and it appeared that someone had tried to start it. There was damage inside the microwave.
Woman keys car, smears mustard
A 19-year-old female reported Sunday that someone she knew assaulted her by hitting at her with her fists through a partially opened door and pulling her hair.
The alleged assailant also keyed the 19-year-old’s 2003 Nissan Murano, broke the driver’s side door handle off, flattened the driver’s side front and rear tires, shattered the rear windshield and smeared mustard on the vehicle.
