Gas station customer gets angry over cigarettes
Last week, a Speedway Gas manager reported an unruly and unwelcome customer to the Rochester Hills Police Department.
The customer, who the manager said her employees have had trouble with in the past, was reported yelling and swearing at a gas station attendant.
Events unfolded when the customer asked for a price of cigarettes. Since the attendant was new, she asked him to hold on a second while she checked the price, but he began yelling.
He then went to pump gas and left.
When interviewed, the customer said the attendant responded with attitude; that he wasn’t being disorderly and was loud because he was in a hurry.
Corporate offices have told the customer to not return in the past. Police also told him to not return to Speedway and if he does, he will be considered a trespasser.
Ransacked birthday presents
On Friday, April 19, Rochester Hills Police responded to a larceny report on Stratford Lane.
Over night, someone stole birthday presents from the resident’s unlocked car, which was parked in front of her home.
The pink bags were full of gifts for the resident’s 4-year-old daughter. While the toys are missing, there was no damage to her car and no suspects at this time.
TV repairman needed
On Thursday, April 18, a Red Roof Inn manager reported one of the motel room’s television sets had been damaged. Looking at records, the manager informed Rochester Hills Police that there was only one occupant in the room in the past four days.
When questioned, the occupant denied damaging the TV but had reported drinking a lot and was entering rehab soon. While he didn’t remember initially damaging the TV, with the help of a friend, they recalled events. He remembered he threw a remote controller at the TV and wrote a statement with what happened.
The manager refuses to prosecute and is letting the former customer pay for damages.
