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

Around 10 p.m. Oct. 19 an officer responded to an undisclosed residence for a report of a robbery.

A woman said she was sleeping on the couch with her son when a man came into her residence and grabbed the child.

She said the man told her to give him the money and he wouldn’t hurt the child.

She told the officer she handed the man more than $600 she had on the couch with her and he handed back her son and fled the residence.

The officer asked her why she had the money on the couch with her while she was sleeping because she had been evicted from the residence and was planning to pay the money to the landlord.

The officer noted that though the woman said her son was crying hysterically during the incident, he did not appear emotionally upset.

The woman’s statement was documented.
