The case is classified as an "ongoing investigation."
Below are officer comments about a suspicious activity/littering complaint at the Woodbury Public Safety Department filed on Oct. 21. The information comes from an initial complaint report and is apparently an “ongoing investigation.” While performing directed patrol efforts in the public safety break room, I located a frying pan, lid and pancake turner soiled in the sink.
