Complainant reported two broken windows. The windows were damaged by landscaping rocks which had fresh markings of being cut in a straight line. Complainant said the neighbor to the west of them where the rocks matched mowed their grass last night when the window became broke. Based on the fresh straight cut marks to the rocks, a fresh lawn mowed, and landscaping rocks that match the ones found; it appears that the mower accidentally shot rocks to the window. An officer spoke with a female at the residence and she said her son was mowing the grass but denied any involvement or that the lawn mower was involved. The officer left that residence and referred the complainant that this would be a civil case which he could pursue if he wanted as there did not appear that intent was involved in this incident. Photographs were taken of the windows and rocks.
