A roundup of recent activity from the police blotter also includes vandalism of city planters, vandalism to a vehicle in the marina parking lot and loud noises.
It seems no matter how the world changes, it will always be a good idea to teach kids never to take candy from a stranger. Police responded to the Columbia Park area at 4:27 p.m. Friday after two 10-year-old girls walking home said they were approached by two males in a van. The 16-year-old Belgium boy and the 15-year-old Port boy had approached the girls while in their van, asking if they wanted some candy. The boys admitted to saying this statement, saying they were joking and confessing that it was probably a bad idea to make comments like this. The boys were issued citations for disorderly conduct. They might want to work on their sense of humor. More from the reports:

A 19-year-old Port Washington woman has used social media before to threaten the 16-year-old teen, and police have given her a final warning.
A 19-year-old Port Washington woman has been warned to stay away from a 16-year-old Port girl after sending harrassing "tweets" on Twitter, threatening to "punch," "beat" and "stab" the teen. The 16-year-old and her mother visited the Port Washington Police Department at 2:22 p.m. Aug. 6 with copies of the tweets that were posted after an argument ensued between the 19-year-old and the teen, according to a police report from the department. The tweets said: All messages were directed at the 16-year-old on Twitter, the report said. The two women have a history of not getting along, and the 19-year-old in the past had used Facebook as a way to send similar harrassing messages. Though those messages were reported, the 19-year-old had not …

A roundup of recent activity from the police reports also includes cars covered in syrup and kids throwing objects at cars.
Does something about summer time mean an increase of testosterone? Two Port Washington males were both cited in June after letting their manhood shine — that is, revving their engines, and drawing attention. The first citation happened at 12:05 a.m. Thursday after a 34-year-old Port man was revving his engine and accelerating rapidly in the 100 block of East Grand Avenue. Police responded and cited him for disorderly conduct. At 11:18 p.m. Saturday, an early-bloomer landed himself a citation for curfew after police pulled over the 16-year-old Port man for revving his engine. Boys will be boys. More from the reports:

A roundup of recent activity from the police blotter focuses on animal complaints and calls, including sewer ducks, runaway dogs and a dog with a bit of a bite.
These ducks must have been a litle out of whack on May 24, when a resident called Port Washington police after witnessing the birds falling into the sewer. Police notified the Port Washington Water Department, who responded to the call at 9:25 a.m. near 135 East Grand Avenue. The department advised that the ducks were only a half block from the discharge to the harbor and should have no problem finding their way out. What a close call for those quackers.

With the recall election four days away, the former president spoke at a rally with Democrat Tom Barrett at Pere Marquette Park.
Former President Bill Clinton visited Pere Marquette Park Friday to support Democrat Tom Barrett as Wisconsin's tumultuous recall election nears its end. Clinton made cooperation the theme of his speech and hammered Gov. Scott Walker for his "divide and conquer" tactics. "Everywhere I go in America, everywhere I go in the world, the only thing that's working is when you get everybody who's got a stake in the game in there, treat them with respect and people go forward together," Clinton said. "That's how you get out of a ditch." Clinton said Barrett is the candidate better for education, the budget and creating jobs. He and Barrett also used the event to urge people to vote early, with absentee voting coming to an end Friday. Hundreds …

A roundup of the lastest activity from the police blotter also includes a pair of baby ducklings in need of a new mom, a gas drive-off with an unidentified driver and more.
Everything has an equal and opposite reaction — it's a basic rule of physics. What goes up, must come down. But this Port Washington resident learned that it can work in other ways, too. What goes down, must come up. And what makes a mess, must be cleaned up. A person in the 1500 block of North Wisconsin Street called police at 4 p.m. April 9 after seeing someone throw a "McDonald's bag that someone had gotten sick in" out of the car window. Police contacted the registered owner of the vehicle, who then came to clean up the litter. Looks like her "sick" relative now owes her and equal and opposite favor. More from the reports:

A roundup of the latest activity from the police blotter.
One of the basic warnings of drinking alcohol is that it impairs your judgement — something that ended up turning this ex-girlfriend's phone call against her. At 9:36 p.m. Thursday, police recieved a call from a 20-year-old Cedarburg woman reporting that that her ex-boyfriend had stolen her cell phone while at Sentry Foods, 101 W. Seven Hills Rd. But when officers met up with the woman, they noticed she had been drinking and she was cited for adult underage. Moral of the story: don't drink and dial. More from the reports:

A roundup of the latest activity from the police blotter.
Perhaps he was mad because it wasn't even bar close yet, but violence is never the answer. Police were called to the 500 block of West Grand Avenue at 1:16 a.m. Nov. 15, where a 23-year-old Fredonia man was fighting with his friend. The man, who was intoxicated, slapped his friend and attempted to throw a punch all because his friend simply was trying to take him home. Police cited the 23-year-old for disorderly conduct. Sounds like he's going to be needing a new designated driver. More from the reports:
