Samplings of recent calls received by Clovis-area law enforcement officers, according to reports:
Police arrived at Plains Regional Medical Center about 1 a.m. Sunday morning following up on a sexual assault complaint.
According to police reports, a Clovis woman arrived home with her boyfriend after work on Saturday, put her young son to bed, and picked up her boyfriend’s brother who had been drinking. Her son later told her that he had been sexually abused by the boyfriend’s 26-year-old brother. Hospital nurses reported that the boy had a distinct bite mark on his genitals that was consistent with the boy’s report to his mother and to police.

Police were unable to determine fault in a Monday morning crash on the corner of Grand Avenue and Hull Street that did heavy damage to two vehicles.
According to police reports, a Chevy Lumina driven by a 27-year-old Clovis woman was southbound on Hull and struck a Yukon SUV driven by a 62-year-old Clovis woman. Both drivers claimed the light was green. A check of the signal determined that it was working properly but due to conflicting stories police filed no charges.
