WILMINGTON — The following report is generated from incident reports provided by the Wilmington Police Department. All those arrested are presumed innocent until possibly found guilty in court. Charges may be dropped or changed in court.

Wilmington police recently processed the following reports:

• At 11:29 p.m. on Sept. 13, police received a report a disorderly guest at a Fife Avenue hotel. On arrival, officers spoke with the clerk who stated a 40-year-old male in one of the rooms repeatedly called the front desk soliciting sex for $500. Officers attempted to make contact with the male to inform him to stop, however by the time they arrived he was passed out on his bed with malt liquor beer on the nightstand. No further action was taken at this time. The police later advised the hotel that if the male persists with his demands to call them.

• At 11:06 a.m. on Sept. 13, police were advised of a male subject riding a bike on Fife Avenue heading toward the city park and “carrying a knife in his mouth.” The report doesn’t indicate if they found the subject.

• At 11:33 a.m. on Sept. 9, police responded to the 900 block of Fife Avenue on a theft report. A 60-year-old female resident told authorities two folding chairs and a small wooden box table, valued at $60 in total, were stolen.

She advised that the suspect pulled up in the grass but never got out of the vehicle while she barricaded herself inside the house. The suspect reportedly never got out of the vehicle and pulled way turning right onto Williams Drive. The officer saw evidence of fresh track marks in the grass. Authorities believe this may have been a carryover from another call earlier in the morning from an eviction.

• At 11:36 a.m. on Sept. 13, a 19-year-old male advised that he and his girlfriend have been receiving texts and calls from a number he wasn’t familiar with.

According to the report, the rear bumper was pushed under the bed of the truck. There were small pieces of debris around the truck. It appeared a vehicle was westbound on W. Vine St. and hit the rear of the truck and left the area. The officer took photos of the area. Officers checked the area for any vehicles with passenger-side front damage and left a note for the owner to contact them and a business card on the windshield of the truck.
