Unannounced Visit to Grandma’s Leads to Arrest, Police Say

A 21-year-old man traveled neither over the river nor through the woods to get to his grandmother’s.

He chose a far more unconventional route.

The man was taken into custody for trespassing when he was found climbing onto a balcony and trying to get into his grandmother’s apartment in the 6500 block of West English Meadows Drive just before noon April 10.

That and the following incidents were recorded in the Greenfield Police Department log for the week of April 8-14:
