Twisted: A couple who’d been drinking all night ended up in an argument in his front yard on township Road 378, Friday. The male said the fighting started when she couldn’t find her wallet and blamed him for taking it, and told deputies the last time he saw it it was beside her keys. He said at one point, she threw a Febreeze bottle at him and continued to “get in his face.” He said they were screaming at each other and she was getting out of control so he pulled her to the ground. The female admitted throwing the Febreeze bottle at him and threw a punch but missed him, but said she’d “only had a few Twisted Tea’s,” while he’d been drinking “mostly liquor.” He said they’d been dating about four months but he “doesn’t see the relationship working out anymore.”

Turf battle: Another Jefferson County resident is upset someone was mowing part of what he says is his lawn, Friday.

The aunt said grandma owns the strip and she’s in the process of getting a surveyor to come mark the boundaries.

Unpleasant: An Amsterdam resident reported a neighbor had killed a dog, Friday.

Deputies said there was no sign of a dog or shell casings when they got to the property, but the owner of the dog later contacted the department to report a family member admitted in a text he shot her dog and wanted to know how she knew.
