• At 11 a.m. in the 7800 block of Chatwell Drive, a white woman driving a white sedan backed into a street light pole and knocked it to the ground.  After striking the pole, the woman inspected the damage and left the area without informing the apartment complex management.

• At 9:20 a.m. police cited a man from South St. Louis County for trespassing and peace disturbance after he tried to interrupt a funeral service.  The suspect insisted on talking to the priest conducting the service, to seek money for gasoline for his car.  The man was asked to leave the area three times, but he refused.  Police discovered the man had over a ¼ tank of gas.  A passenger in the car had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for drinking in public from another police department, so he was arrested and turned over to that agency.
