Seaside Park police have released their weekly blotter, containing a sampling of calls to which the department responded over the past week. The total number of calls handled by the department was 102.
The blotter appears below:
11/16
Harassment – Police took a report at headquarters from a caller who was receiving harassing phone calls from an estranged family member. Officers spoke to the caller and gathered the information needed to generate a report. The complainant stated he had been receiving relentless phone calls from his brother. The accused was allegedly also calling a work colleague of the caller and disturbing them as well. Police attempted to reach out to the accused to get their side but were not able to make contact with them. The complainant was advised how to sign charges if they wish to do so.
Verbal Dispute – Police responded to the area of Decatur and Central Avenues for a verbal dispute between a male and female. Officers arrived and spoke to the male who stated his girlfriend and him got into a verbal argument after she had been out drinking. Police at the scene attempted to make contact with the female but she refused to speak to officers. It was determined to have just been a verbal altercation and the male decided to separate from her for the rest of the night. No further police action required.
Motor Vehicle Stop – While on patrol in the area of Porter and Central Avenue, officers observed a vehicle driving out of town with a flat tire and riding on their rim. Police made contact with the driver and observed an odor of an alcoholic beverage and located an open container of alcohol in the vehicle. The driver agreed to perform field sobriety tests, and it was determined that she was not under the influence but had consumed alcohol earlier in the vehicle.

The driver called for a tow truck and the vehicle was removed from the roadway.
