Police Blotter: Open Burning and Harassing Phone Calls

Police received complaints Saturday morning of open burning taking place on Foxhill Drive. Officers were dispatched to the area for further investigation following the 8:13 a.m. call. That led to Gates Mills Fire Chief Thomas Robinson advising the property owner to stop the burning until obtaining the necessary permits from the village.

A Woodstock Road resident called police at 9:28 p.m. Thursday to report receiving threatening phone calls from his ex-wife. After speaking with an officer, the man decided not to pursue criminal charges. He stated he only wanted police to document the complaint for future reference.

Police responded to a motor vehicle crash Thursday evening at the intersection of Cedar and SOM Center soads. The crash, reported at 5:03 p.m., involved two vehicles and there were no injuries.  Due to minor damage, both parties agreed to sign crash waivers.
