The following information was provided by the Strongsville police department

• A woman told police there is a conspiracy against her because someone in her family married an ethnic person. Someone is filming her house, she said.

• A man got a text from his dad saying "Call 911 need help." So he did. When police arrived, they found the man intoxicated and waking up from a nap. He said he didn't know why he texted the message. He was fine.

• When a man went to his estranged wife's house to pick up some belongings, including his birth certificate, she gave part of it to him -- cut into pieces. He got all the pieces before he left.

• A witness reported an older man in apparent trouble on I-71 after he pulled off the road and sat there with his head back and foot on the brake about 8:20 a.m. The man told police he was tired and decided to pull over and take a nap. Officers told him it wasn't the best place to sleep, so he agreed to move to somewhere on Royalton Road.
