Texas? But I didn’t rent a white Cadillac convertible with steer horns

A 42-year-old Lake Orion woman reported to police at noon on Aug. 21 that she received a call from a person claiming they were from the Social Security Administration. The caller told the woman that her ID was used to rent a car in Texas that was involved in several crimes.

The caller demanded that the woman verify her social security number and then send money to resolve the case or she would be arrested.

The woman provided the caller with her social security number but felt uneasy and reported the matter to the LOPD. She did not send them any money.

The officer advised her to notify her credit card company and her bank of the attempted fraud.

Playing hide & seek with the police and then lying to them? Bad idea

Lake Orion police were called to a residence at 10 p.m. Aug. 21 after a 62-year-old Lake Orion man reported that, during an argument, an intoxicated female neighbor threatened to have one of her friends shoot him.

Officers went to the home to speak with the woman and could see people in the home, but they would not answer the door. A man eventually answered the door and let the officers inside.

The woman, who was found hiding in a closet, provided a false name to the officers.

When the woman’s actual identity was discovered, she was identified as a Clarkston woman, 51, who had several warrants out for her arrest.

The woman was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and providing false information to police. She was then turned over to officers from the warrant holding agency.

The victim believed the man responsible for the damage lives in the building.

The victim and other individuals had previously made a police report earlier in the day on the suspect for threatening them.
