• BURGLARY: A Slayton Settlement Road man reported Monday evening that someone entered his home sometime during the day and stole a bottle of 100 hydrocodone pills. The man said he’d had a key hidden on his property, but it had been stolen a while ago, and since then, there has been an ongoing problem of pills and money being taken from the home. Due to the ongoing problem, the man said he had left the prescription bottle in a dresser drawer and left a T-shirt sticking out so he could tell if someone had touched the drawer. He said there is a new oil spot in the driveway, possibly from a suspect vehicle, the report said.
