Weekend calls send officers to ballfield, hospital, Walmart

A Grenada pee wee coach was removed from the game and then the stands during Saturday morning’s pee wee games according to an occurrence report from Batesville Police Department.
BPD Lieutenant Richard Lott’s report stated that he was dispatched to Tiger field in reference to a disturbance with the caller complaining of a problem with one of the coaches who has being disrespectful and using foul language.
The report said umpires removed (names are redacted from occurrence reports) the coach from the field but allowed him to stay in the stands.
According to the report he was still being disruptive and then would not leave as requested.
Officer Lott’s report stated the coach was in the parking lot at the time of his arrival and Lott made a request to the man to not return to the stadium  with the man complying according to the report.
An early Saturday morning disturbance at Merit Health on Medical Center Drive was over a cellphone which a man would not give to his girlfriend.
The report said the girlfriend was speaking loudly and using profane language but she said she was arguing because . . .  (name redacted) “disrespected her mother,” according to Patrolman Brandon Urban’s report.
Urban recorded the information and soon returned to his regular patrol duties according the the report.
A disturbance call Saturday afternoon was answered by Patrolman Mat McCool on Perkins Lane where he reported two juveniles were arguing. The dust up was temporarily solved when the daughter volunteered to go stay with her father and the son stayed with the mother on the advice of Lieutenant Lott.
An ex-employee of Walmart was the obvious cause of a disturbance there. A Walmart employee advised the man came in the store upset because he had been fired and tried to hit him according to  Patrolman Justin Davis’ report.
Less than an hour later Davis was dispatched to Armstrong Street where a subject advised she got into an argument and the other subject kicked a dent in the passenger side quarter panel of her Nissan and ran off with her car keys.
“During this time (name redacted) was arrested for disorderly conduct,” according to Davis’ report.
I advised (name redacted) she could come to Batesville PD . . . because she had been drinking and could not write a statement.”
