February 19:

Crash, 804 Washington; two from Milford engaged in paper and paint exchange.
Crash, 815 Washington; two from Medway very lightly engage each other. No paper or paint exchanged (how civil).

Vehicle stop with summons, 176 Concord; Margarita Jesus of Milford for 90/6 and 90/10 (or an average of 90/8).

Vehicle stop with summons, Washington & Locust; Colleen of Ashland for operating with expired registration.
Animal incident, Morton; loose black lab reported (harder to retrieve than a golden)

When people see a cat’s litter box they always say, “Oh, have you got a cat?” Just once I want to say, “No, it’s for company!”
