Harassment, Oct. 29 — A local processing plant employee contacted Public Safety to report an incident of harassment in the workplace. Further investigation revealed that in addition to making numerous unkind and untoward statements, the complaint’s coworker had become physically aggressive and placed her in fear of being assaulted. As a result, Carmelita Orteza was summonsed for assault and disorderly conduct.
Suspicious person, activity, Oct. 30 — A caller reported that "everyone" aboard a local fishing vessel was doing drugs.
