A roundup of recent activity from the police blotter also includes a car crash with a post and stolen construction materials.
A man who continually digs through the garbage at Mad Max Convenience Store, 1100 S. Spring St., clearly did not like when store employees asked him to stop.

Employees said the man, who appears to be in his 70s, visits the station every day to dig through the garbage for cans. After employees asked the man to stop digging through the garbage, he spit on an employee's car, police reports said. The man was not there when police arrived, but they advised the clerks to call the department again if the person comes back. More from the reports:

A roundup of recent activity on the police blotter also includes a trash can fire, a girl stuck under a fence and a hitchhiker.
It's unclear what exactly he was looking for in striking up these conversations, but it's obvious this Port Washington man was looking for more than just books at recent visits to the library. Police were called to W.J. Niederkorn Library at 1:03 p.m. Thursday after a 48-year-old Port man was "approaching women and striking up conversations," according to police reports. The man had been warned not to do this in the past. Officers spoke to the man, and he was inevitably banned from the library for 30 days. Looks like he'll have to take his pickup lines elsewhere.

A Port Washington resident had an odd reason to call the police thanks to a batch of construction workers. The resident of the 1900 block of Blue Spruce Court called Port Washington police at 10:19 a.m. Friday after noticing the workers coming onto his property and taking water from the spigot.

A roundup of recent activity from the police blotter also includes an odd violation of a restraining order as well as a stolen jacket for money owed.
You know you've had too much when ... you don't know you've had too much. That was seemingly the case for this 46-year-old Port woman out drinking at 7:37 p.m. Friday at Sundance Tavern, 551 N. Wisconsin St. Port Washington police were called to the tavern after the woman threw a shot glass at the bartender because she had been "cut off." The woman was cited for disorderly conduct. That's one to regret in the morning. More from the reports:
