The Kansas University football goal posts and Massachusetts Street street signs weren’t the only casualties of vandalism this weekend. Two other agencies in Lawrence reported destruction to their facilities over the Halloween/World Series weekend.

Monday, 12:45 a.m.

Lawrence police were alerted to an intrusion alarm at the Lawrence Country Club, 400 Country Club Terrace around 12:45 a.m.

Responding officers checked the area around the country club and found that a rock had been thrown through one of the building’s windows, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

The hole in the glass was luckily too small for a person to enter to get into the building, but the officers continued to search. A second window was then found smashed, which McKinley said was large enough to climb through.

McKinley said the damage to the windows was estimated at $1,000.

Country club staff soon arrived on scene. Inside, they found several bottles of liquor had been stolen along with a cash box that contained “a small amount of cash,” McKinley said.

Surveillance footage showed “what appeared to be two teenage males” — one white and one black — committing the crimes, McKinley said. The investigation remains ongoing.

The vandalism and thefts occurred about an hour after the Kansas City Royals won the World Series, but it’s unknown whether this was some sort of “celebratory” act.

Saturday morning

Someone reported that an individual had damaged the glass window and door at the Santa Fe Train Depot at Seventh and New Jersey streets.

Police responded after being informed that a transient man who allegedly broke the glass had walked west on Seventh Street. Officers located the suspect near the intersection of Seventh and Vermont streets and spoke with him, McKinley said.

The man allegedly told police that he had been camping near the river when the water “began to rise.” McKinley said the man therefore went to the depot to “summon help,” but when he couldn’t get in, he broke two windows.

McKinley said the man “was cooperative in showing the officer the damage” and admitted his responsibility. The man was then arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

Saturday, 10:17 p.m.

A transient woman and a man with whom she has a domestic relationship agreed to meet at the intersection of Sixth Street and Schwarz Road, McKinley said.

When the woman got there, the man was allegedly upset because it had taken her “too long” to make it to their meeting spot, McKinley said. The man then punched her in the face and she fell to the ground. She received visible facial injuries in the attack.

The woman started calling for help from witnesses nearby and as she did so the man stole two of her bags and walked away. He was last seen going south on Schwarz Road. Police have identified the man but have not located him, McKinley said.

Sunday, 12:04 a.m.

Lawrence police were called to the intersection of Eighth and Massachusetts streets after a man said he was walking with a group of friends when somebody “ran up behind him and began punching him in the head,” McKinley said.

The victim said that after he took several punches to the head he was “able to stop the attack,” McKinley said. The victim and witnesses said the allegedly violent stranger was also hollering at other people nearby and tried to start fights as he walked away from the scene.

McKinley said the suspect was described as a white man dressed in a Royals shirt. Officers were unable to find him — and with a description like that this past weekend I can see why.

Saturday, 5:26 p.m.

Two people had contacted each other to pick up some children to go trick-or-treating. But when the people met up at a home in the 1100 block of New York Street, the adults began arguing, leading one person to punch the other in the face, McKinley said.

Police were called, but the suspect had left before officers could arrive. Police later found the suspect at another home and issued a citation for battery, McKinley said.

Saturday, 1:49 a.m.

Police were called shortly before 2 a.m. on a report that a man was attempting to break a woman’s apartment door down.

Earlier that evening, the woman had been at a bar when she and the suspect were in an argument. The man punched the woman in her face at the bar, and others around separated the two afterward.

A male friend escorted the woman home for her safety after the alleged battery. The man arrived at the home shortly after and allegedly attempted to force his way in. Eventually, the man was able to break the door open, and it struck the male friend who had walked the victim home.

When the man learned police had been called, he allegedly ran away. Officers then called him on the phone, but the suspect refused to meet with police, McKinley said.

“He was belligerent with officers on the phone and threatened to shoot any officer who tried to arrest him,” McKinley said.

Police later found the man in the 1400 block of Apple Lane and arrested him on suspicion of domestic battery, criminal damage and criminal threat.
