Police responded to a call of an impaired driver entering the city limits. The driver was found to be sober, but had been driving erratically because a male passenger exited the vehicle and ran across the highway.

Members received a call about a theft from an east end restaurant and lounge during the Sept. 27 day shift. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken from the business.

The man was released from custody with a November court date.
