An officer approached the man and asked him to dismount from the bicycle, but, according to the report, the man simply “laughed” and continued riding erratically. However, the man’s companion, apparently also riding a bike, did stop and spoke with the officer, then called the man, who returned to the scene.

The woman was concerned because she owns a small dog and was afraid that the animal might eat the bones. Police spoke with a neighbor who said he did not know who would’ve done such a thing but assured the officer that it would not happen again.
