Injury Accident & Duplex Fire Overnight

A little more action for Lawrence Police overnight. Nothing over the top exciting or unusual.

Shortly after 11 p.m. Police responded to the 800 block of Emery Road on a very minor injury accident. The injured party refused an ambulance. Police still handled and investigated the accident as injury involved.

Right at 2 a.m. Lawrence Police and Fire crews were called to respond to a reported structure fire in the 1400 block of west 2nd Terrace. Police arrived on scene first and reported a small fire on the exterior of the single story duplex and a small pile of debris also on fire about a foot from the structure. Occupants from both sides of the duplex were safely out of the structure prior to the arrival of Police.

Fire crews arrived and quickly extinguished the visible fire on the exterior of the structure and the small debris fire. Crews entered the duplex and found smoke was slowly filling the interior. Further investigation led them to a small fire in the eaves which was extinguished. The Fire Department did remove some ceiling to confirm that the fire was completely out. Crews were reporting the fire was out at 2:45 a.m.

Two of the occupants were treated on the scene by medical crews and refused transport to the hospital. Fire crews did request the Red Cross to respond to assist the displaced residents. LJWorld Story

It was also brought to my attention overnight that there is a Facebook Group looking for the installation of crossover cables along K-10 Highway.

Other then that it was another routine overnight.

Tuesday, April 19th

Lawrence Police responded on a little bit of everything overnight, from fireworks to a subject that attempted to flee from officers.

The fireworks complaint at 8 p.m. in the 2300 Block of W 26th Street. One officer responded and was unable to locate anyone in that area with fireworks. About an hour later Police responded to the 2000 Block of West 31st Street or a shoplifting call, no arrests were made.

Just before midnight, officers received a report of a burglary in the 500 Block of Minnesota Street. Two officers responded and found there was an active burglary. Three more units were dispatched to the area. When the original two officers made their way closer to the address a subject ran from inside and attempted to flee from officers. A perimeter was set in the area and the subject was arrested shortly after.

Police also responded on the usual calls for noise complaints, 911 hang ups, disturbances and animal complaints.

Angry Sunday Morning

Apparently there was a little anger and aggression in the air this morning. Police responded on numerous complaints of disturbances, threats, criminal damage, trespassing and even a road rage call. Thankfully nothing anger related seemed to result in any injuries.

Police also responded to several accidents. Non injury in the 500 block of Massachusetts Street just after 10:15 p.m. Another non injury in the 100 block of Indian Avenue just before 2 a.m. An injury accident in the 1800 block of Iowa shortly after 2 a.m. no injuries were life threatening. The last of which was another Injury accident in the 2200 Block of Massachusetts, before 5 a.m. Again no one with life threatening injuries.

There were the usual noise complaints and barking dog complaints. Police even made a stop by the 1600 Block of Haskell again checking for "things in the air".

All in all nothing very out of the ordinary.

Slow Saturday

This morning was pretty slow, considering it was a Saturday. There were the usual disturbances and noise complaints.

Lawrence Police performed extensive bar checks in the early morning hours and responded on several alcohol complaints throughout the city. Several citations were issued however, no arrests were made.

Shortly after 2 a.m. Lawrence Police and Fire were sent to a report of an injury accident at Clinton Parkway and Kasold Drive. While responding, dispatchers were advised that one of the vehicles involved had left the scene. Police arrived in the area to find the vehicle that had been reported as leaving the scene and the other involved vehicle were both parked in the 2200 block of Kasold Drive, just north of Clinton Parkway. One person was treated by Medics for a laceration to the head. The laceration was considered serious and the patient was transported to the hospital by Medics.

Police again responded to the 1600 block of Haskell Avenue on a report of "things in the air." As usual, nothing was found when the officer arrived just before 5 a.m.

KU Police responded on a report of a male subject with a crowbar who had broken out a window on the north side of Haworth Hall at 1200 Sunnyside Drive. Police received the call at 5:30 a.m. The caller also advised that the subject was sitting leaned against the building, right next to the now broken window and was possibly sleeping. KUPD arrived to find the subject sitting just as reported with a crowbar laying nearby. The subject was taken into custody by Police. Lawrence Medics also responded to check some minor cuts and scrapes to the subjects hand and forearm. He was not transported to the hospital and remains in Police custody as of 6 a.m. this morning.

Quiet, Rainy Friday

Another pretty quiet overnight for Lawrence Police this morning. The rain seems to have cooled most everyone down last night as there seemed to be fewer than usual disturbances around the city. All in a a pretty good thing to hear less of.

Officers were called to investigate several burglar alarms. Most sounded to have been caused by the windy weather overnight.

LPD did make the normal suspicious vehicle stops, traffic stops and responded on a couple noise complaints throughout the city.

Just before 3 a.m. KU Police received a report of 2 men walking near the 1300 Block of Crescent Drive carrying crowbars and dressed in dark clothing. Officers responded and caught up with the 2 just off of campus. LPD responded as well and both men were found that have done nothing wrong, only handled as a suspicious person report.

Another quiet night

Another quiet night in Lawrence. Police again did not respond to anything very out of the ordinary.

LPD was called, twice, to the 1600 Block of Haskell to "investigate things in the air". This is an almost nightly occurrence for Police. They get the call, an officer responds and whatever it may be that the caller thinks he/she is seeing has disappeared before officers arrive.

Police did respond on the normal disturbance calls and made a few suspicious vehicle stops. Again, nothing that seemed out of the ordinary to me.

Pretty good chance for some thunderstorms in the Douglas County area after about 4 p.m. into the evening and overnight hours. The better threat seems to have moved into the southeast Kansas Area as of this mornings National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center's 6 a.m. update.

Quiet Wednesday morning & an intersection closed for water line replacement

Quiet is best way to describe Lawrence overnight. LPD did not have any out of the ordinary calls for service.

Officers did respond on a reported disturbance in the 600 Block of Massachusetts Street just before 2 a.m. Four units responded to the call and it ended up sounding extremely minor. No injuries were reported and no arrests were made.

Shortly before 4 a.m., LPD responded to contact a subject that had been assaulted in the 4500 Block of Wimbledon Drive. LDCFM also responded and treated the subject for his injuries at the scene. No information on a suspect was broadcast.

All in all it has been very quiet lately.

And for those who may find the information useful. The intersection of 7th Street and Indiana Street will be closed until 5:30 p.m. today for water line replacement. This is according to information provided over the radio to LDCFM and LPD Units

Pretty Routine Tuesday

Lawrence Police had a fairly routine Tuesday morning on their hands this morning. LPD responded with Lawrence Fire on a dumpster fire at the Applecroft Apartments in the 1900 Block of Stuart Avenue just before 11:30 p.m. and then to a car fire in the 900 Block of Mississippi Street just after 11:30 p.m.

Traffic stops and suspicious vehicle checks were in full force as Tuesday morning began. Police made a DUI arrest in the 600 Block of Kentucky just after 12:30 a.m. Officers performed numerous traffic stops and issued citations to some drivers for traffic offenses. A number of suspicious vehicles were also stopped by LPD throughout the city this morning.

The strange call of the night goes to the one that occurred just after 12:40 a.m. in the 2100 Block of Rhode Island Street. Officers were called to take information about a theft of property. Police responded and contacted the caller who then focused the officer's attention to a complaint on a neighbor's barking dog. The caller did not want to sign a complaint about the dog, only wanted officers to be aware of the issue with the neighbor's dog. The caller then finally got around to discussing the theft that they had originally called Police to report. It was unclear to me what if anything was actually taken. The call went from a reported theft, to an animal complaint, to a request to speak with officers and then back to a theft. The officer on scene did take a report number in relation to the reported theft.

Just before 4:30 a.m. KU Police were called to McCollum hall after receiving a report of a subject on the outside ledge on the south side of the west wing. Police responded and found a subject standing on the 9th floor ledge outside of an open window. Officers made contact with the subject who became extremely agitated with the questioning of officers. KU Police advised their dispatcher that the subject was making suicidal comments and a Lawrence Medical unit was dispatched to standby in the area. After nearly 15 minutes of talking with the subject a KUPD officer was able to get the subject to come back inside the building safely. The subject was willingly transported by Police to LMH.
