• Police were called last Wednesday to a home in East Marion because of a dispute between a homeowner and an Optimum crew hanging new cables over his property. The homeowner told the crew to stop. The crew told police that cables had already been hung in the area and they were to hang new cable alongside the existing wires. The crew said they did not need to go on the property to do the work, but the homeowner was not happy with that outcome and said he would contact Optimum to have the lines buried.

The report says officers will attempt to reconnect with the car owner.
