  • Room for rent? This sounds like one interesting start to a honeymoon. Police received a call at 4:33 p.m. Nov. 6 from a resident who said a suspicious man stopped at her house. The man, described as 27 to 33 years of age, around 6-foot-10-inches tall, wearing a knit cap and zipper jacket with multiple face piercings and also operating an older, maroon, 4-door vehicle with a loud exhaust and visible dent, went to the residence to ask "if he and his soon-to-be wife could rent out rooms in the home for their upcoming wedding," the police reports said. It's looking like she said, "No."
