Noise violation. Car alarm going off for 3+ hours from 10:45PM to 2:15AM (and it is still going on) at parking lot for 605 Fess. Car license plate number IN 138QS. Charges should be filed against the car owner and landlord for disturbing the peace. My wife, daughter, and I are still awake. The police told us, after being here multiple times, that they can do nothing. This is a clear violation and is unacceptable.
I was assaulted by multiple people and during the altercation I lost my iPhone and shoe somewhere near 1218 N. Madison Street.
Landscaping Building making loud noises at 5AM-6AM on Saturday & Sunday. This violates local noise ordinances & I expect it to be quiet until at least 8AM on the weekends.
Openly drinking booze in public. Almost everyday. 6th and walnut hobo.
Hello, I would like to give feedback on some unfortunate observations recently on Kirkwood Avenue and the surrounding streets. This took place last Friday evening around 8:30. We took a stroll after dinner to walk around the downtown area, and it was the first time in 20 years of living here, I felt unsafe. I witnessed people doing drugs, drinking on the street, and what appeared to be a drug deal, right on Kirkwood. I have to say I have come to expect public intoxication from college age students, but I think the police do a very good job of handling those cases. The people involved in the activities I mentioned are not college students. Most looked like they could be homeless or struggling in some way. I understand there is no easy solution. These people need therapy, but they have to be willing to try to improve their lives. I'm not advocating arresting the people. I do think a stronger police presence is needed in these busy areas. I'd recommend posting cadets or others in uniforms strategically in the area. Maybe better lighting and security cameras would help. Thanks, Aaron Perry
There is a person living under the burning bush on Chase Bank drive up facility at the intersection of W 6th and N Madison directly across from Bloomingfoods.
This morning I noticed that my passenger mirror had been hit. I got out of my vehicle and looked at the other cars down the road and noticed a couple others had been hit as well. (Passenger side of vehicles face a sidewalk, so not side-swiped by another vehicle.) I called the Bloomington Police Department around 2:15 explained the situation, was carried to dispatch, explained again and was told to write a report.
My daughter Jordan Ozolin lives at a rental house located at 523 S Park Ave. She lives with three other female roommates. Today, 12-4-17, at 3:13pm she called 911 to report a potential intruder into the house based on unusual sounds and a suspect grey Mitsubishi Eclipse sports car parked in the houses restricted parking lot at the rear of the house. Police arrived, cleared the house, and had a discussion with the man who returned to claim the Mitsubishi Eclipse. According to my daughter, the man claimed to be a construction worker, and was looking for a parking spot closer to where he said he was working. A picture of the Eclipse and license plate, “7FRESH7” is attached, as taken by my daughter when the car was parked in the restricted parking lot. This plate information was provided to the police. I am sending this report due to the concern that I have for my daughter and her roommates’ safety. The Eclipse, as well as a pickup at some point in the day, were seen in the restricted parking lot, and reported to the police when they arrived. According to my daughter, other neighbors saw the suspect vehicles and witnessed someone trying to open the door to the house. I respectfully request the police do several actions in response to this incident to support the safety of my daughter and her roommates: 1) Periodically drive by the 523 S Park Avenue house, both front and back sides (where the restricted parking lot is) and check for the suspect vehicles (specifically the Mitsubishi and/or pickup truck), and if found present, conduct a local search for the owner, and if not present, have the vehicle(s) towed away. 2) Since the police have the means of determining the owner of the Eclipse with the “7FRESH7” plate and owner’s residence, request that the police conduct periodic checks of the owner’s residence for suspicious activity, and take responsive action if warranted. Thank you, Aaron Ozolin
Suspicious activity at 801 W 7th. A lot of people coming and going constantly. They don't stay long. Possible drug activity? Blue Honda Odessey van with three people and a dog now living on the property. Is this a licensed rental or a single family home? Woman who often drives the van seems disoriented.
