Grand theft case lands on Fowler Lane—Joe Weese also tagged for brandishing a weapon.
Night closes with domestic violence arrest on Carrillo Court—Tyler Hustrulid facing felony and child abuse count.
Incidents stack: gas station prowler on Missouri Flat, noise complaints on Golden Center, and late suspicious subject at Starbucks—gone before deputies arrive.
Vandalism logged at county jail on Forni Road.
Trespass call hits Stagecoach Road; verbal disturbance closes the night on Jamal Way.
Diamond Springs logs school-area suspicious activity and multiple civil standbys—low-grade tension, steady calls.
