Samplings of recent calls received by Clovis-area law enforcement officers, according to reports:
Police responded about 1 p.m. Dec. 6 to a mother reporting she found photographs of her 11-year-old daughter on her husband’s computer. The photographs depicted the girl partially clothed and included scenes of a person having sexual contact with her daughter.
The woman said that when confronted, her husband became very upset, threw the computer out the back door, and later used a five-pound weight to smash the computer’s hard drive.
The property manager of a self-storage facility called police about 8:30 a.m. Dec. 8 to report three storage units had been broken into. The manager said the three units had their locks cut off and one of the doors was open.
Police reported each unit appeared to have been entered and the items appeared to have been rummaged through. None of the three unit renters could immediately be reached to determine if any property was missing.
A member of a Clovis church called police about 1:30 p.m. Dec. 8 to report her purse had been stolen from the Sunday school room where she teaches classes.
The purse owner said she left the purse in the room about 5:30 p.m. and returned at 7:10 to find it missing. The pastor and church staff told police they had searched the entire building but had not found the purse, which had an estimated value of $148.00
