CAR TAKEN WITHOUT PERMISSION: On Jan. 14 officers responded to a car recovery. The reporting party said the stolen car was parked at a local business, informing officers when the car was taken by a male roommate who did not have permission to drive the car. Officers entered the business and found the male, detaining him. The male said he had no intention of stealing the car, just using it to go to the business and then return it. The reporting party, after hearing this, did not want to file charges. The report was forwarded to a prosecutor. The male was released and the car returned.
