1:30 p.m. – A Howland Road resident told police an Uber Eats driver had damaged his lawn and perhaps the sprinkler system Tuesday night. The man told police his daughter ordered a food delivery Tuesday night through Uber Eats. When the delivery driver arrived at the house, he drove over the grass towards the front door of the home. After dropping off the food, the driver backed up on the grass and turned around before leaving via the driveway.

On Friday, he got something in the mail with the same information. He notified his bank, which cancelled his debit card.

4:32 p.m. – Police met with a Church Street resident regarding a case of identity theft. The reporting person stated that in September  2016 someone unknown to him used his identity to open a Visa credit card account with Midland Funding LLC with a line of credit of $7,000. On October 6, 2016, the credit card in his name was used at the Apple Store at the Providence Place Mall in the amount of $6413.30 and parking garage fee of two dollars. Midland Funding LLC put the bill into collections for the $6415.30 amount after he thought that this incident had resolved itself two years ago when he first reported it to them that he was the victim of identity theft. Midland LLC informed the man to file a police report.
