The first man helped the second man inside the residence, as the second man was heavily intoxicated.

Police spoke with a supervisor at Chattanooga Nailed It Construction Co., 4100 Kirkland Ave.  She said sometime over the weekend someone stole a new Kempstar heat and air unit valued at $3,500. She said the duct work and electrical were cut and the unit lifted. She said there is nothing there as far as a crime scene to process. She gave police the contact information for the owner, a man in Atlanta. The man said he would wait until the last minute possible to install a new unit at the location, which will be a rental property once finished.

A man told police he was in his parked car in the passenger seat on Rossville Boulevard when another vehicle parked next to the car. He told police that someone in the other vehicle opened the door and it made contact with his door. He and his wife showed officers the contact made, and police observed a small scratch that was almost imperceptible. Police spoke with the owner of the other vehicle, who said that he did not make contact with the other vehicle and the man was lying about the event. Both men wrote statements to their respective stories. Because of the conflicting statements and the negligible amount of damage, there is no further police action required.

A man at a residence on Isbill Road told police that two weed eaters had been stolen from his carport area.
