What a weirdough
The sheriff’s office received a call Friday from Little Italy Pizza in Glouster after the staff received multiple calls from a customer with only television background noise audible.

Let him in

Ruff go of it

Just hangin’ out
The sheriff’s office responded Friday to a complaint of a suspicious vehicle outside of Coolville.

No other suspicious activity was reported or observed.
