Lee County Sheriff's Office The following reports were filed Monday and Wednesday by the Lee County Sheriff's Office. A County Road 1149, Plantersville, woman said she thinks the residents of a house just up the road moved away and left their dog chained to a tree. She tried knocking on the door, but no one answers. She said the dog has been there for more than a week. She has provided the dog food and water. A Tupelo man said he was mowing his aunt's County Road 931, Tupelo, property when he saw a homeless man behind the house. He said the homeless man is squatting in empty 18-wheeler trailers at the business next door. He said he told the homeless man to not trespass on the aunt's property. A man said someone abandoned a vehicle on his County Road 1145, Tupelo, property. Since the car is on private property, the deputy told the man he could call a wrecker service and have it towed. A Tupelo woman said she was at work at Stanley Black & Decker on Highway 145 South. She said she took her diabetes medication in the break room around 12:30 p.m. during a break. She put the medicine back in her bag and returned to her workstation. When she later looked for the silver and black zippered bag, it was missing. Besides the diabetes medicine and a blood tester, the bag contained her blood pressure medication and a set of keys. She has no idea who took the bag. A Palmetto Road woman said her security system went off at 1:30 a.m. while she was out of town. The camera showed two white males walking around the property. Deputies responded to the address, but the suspects had left. The woman said she would call when she returned if anything was missing. A Herzog Railroad Services employee was working on the railroad near County Road 520 in the Brewer area when two stray dogs walked up to him. There was no one anywhere near the dogs, one all black and the other black and white. He believed they were not being cared for. A Presley Drive woman said her neighbor pays someone to mow his yard. The 40-something Black male keeps mowing past the property line and cutting her grass as well. She has told the neighbor many times that he needs to tell the mower to stop mowing in her yard. A County Road 41, Palmetto, woman got up around 3 a.m. to take her dogs outside. When she opened the door, an unknown white male was standing under her carport. She began screaming and the man took off running down the driveway, turning south on County Road 41. The responding deputies observed footprints where the suspect had run through the yard. Anyone with information on any of these repots is urged to call the Lee County Sheriff's Office at 841-9041, the Tupelo Police Department at 841-6491 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at (800) 773-TIPS or download the P3 Tip App and leave an anonymous tip that way.
