Samplings of recent calls received by Clovis-area law enforcement officers, according to reports:

Police responded Friday to a local trucking company where a driver allegedly threatened another man with a long piece of pipe.

The complainant said the subject came into his office and asked to see the load sheet. When the request was denied, the subject exited the office and returned with the piece of metal pipe.

The subject told police his wife was scheduled for surgery the next day in Lubbock, and the company was supposed to work with him and give him loads to the east. Instead, he was given a load to Wisconsin, and he was not happy.

The subject was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
