Explosive in Toilet: A citizen reported at 1 p.m. that a portable toilet next to the tennis courts at the Daffodil Valley Sports complex was smoldering with smoke due to a firework being set off inside. The responding officer noted the fire was out and there was little damage. Neighborhood kids reported seeing a group of juveniles in the area and possibly identified a minor responsible for the vandalism.

Attempted Break-in: Police responded to a home on the 2300 block of East Valley Highway at 5:04 p.m. for an activated burglary alarm and found a window had been pried open. With K9 help, officers did not locate anyone on the property and later determined though the window was damaged, no entry was made to the residence.
