Three of Tuesday's seven arrests were repeat offenders. The most notable was a 56-year-old arrested on drug charges in York, marking their 13th arrest since January 2025. A 27-year-old in Sunnyland picked up two incidents in one stop, a warrant and a narcotics possession charge. And on the Holly St bar strip at 10:23 PM, a 27-year-old was arrested for harassment after attempting to provoke officers into a fight. Per the report, he told officers multiple times he didn't care about being arrested because he knew he'd be booked and released.
