A Strongsville man told police he sent $1,800 -- twice in one day -- to someone who was allegedly trying to deport him.

The man told police he was called by "the FDA" and agreed to send $1,800 via Western Union to the Dominican Republic.

The same day, he sent another $1,800 to an address a caller gave him.

Police said there was little they could do about the international scam, but gave the man advice for the future.

At Least No One Was Hurt

A driver went to the police station July 30 to turn herself in for hitting a tombstone in Strongsville Cemetery.

Police told her to contact the cemetery sexton.

Chew Stolen

A man went to police July 30 after he saw someone in his car outside Macy's about 5:30 p.m.

The guy stole a can of snuff valued at $2 from the vehicle, a report said.

The owner said his car was locked and he didn't know how the thief got in. The alleged thief got into an SUV and left.

A Baby What?
