• Delray Beach, Florida, has a new addition to its fleet of police vehicles: an ice cream truck.
Police Chief Javaro Sims told WPBF-TV that he's been thinking about getting an ice cream truck for some time.
"We must continue to find ways to break down those invisible barriers we continue to deal with on a daily basis within our communities," Sims said.
He hopes the public will grab some free ice cream and stay for some conversation, getting to know the officers and building relationships. [WPBF, 7/16/2021]
• A Reno, Nevada, woman was charged on July 14 in a break-in incident at a dental practice where she worked, the New York Daily News reported.
Laurel Eich allegedly broke into the practice in May and stole $23,000 worth of checks and cash.
In the course of the investigation, Eich also admitted to extracting 13 teeth from a sedated patient after using anesthetic discarded by the practice -- even though she is not licensed to perform such procedures.
Eich was charged with multiple felonies, including performing surgery on another without a license. [NY Daily News, 7/15/2021]
