    A Mount Airy woman has reported being scammed out of money, according to city police reports.

    Brenda Marshall Joyce, a resident of Essex Lane, told police that she was victimized on May 28, which records indicate involved a transaction through an unspecified bank/savings and loan institution by an unknown suspect.

    The exact monetary loss was not disclosed, nor was the means involved in the obtaining of property by false pretense crime.

    • A utility trailer valued at around $5,000, owned by James E. Marion, was discovered stolen last Wednesday from his residence on Fairlane Drive.

    The enclosed six-by-12-foot trailer is described as a 1998 Pace Arrow model, white in color.

    • The former D&J Galaxy (now Mayberry Market IGA) grocery store on Westfield Road was the scene of a theft last Wednesday which targeted containers of Mountain Dew.

    • Joey Keith Caudle, 33, listed as a homeless Mount Airy resident, was charged with being intoxicated and disruptive on June 3 after police encountered him at the intersection of Taylor and Orchard streets, where Caudle was found to be inebriated and obstructing traffic on the roadway and sidewalk.

    Bond information was not available for Caudle, who is slated for a June 24 appearance in Surry District Court.

    • Two people who had been told to stay away from Chick-fil-A were charged with second-degree trespassing there on May 23, Stephen McLean Jeffreys, 67, and Mitzi Carol Collins, 60, both listed as homeless.

    Jeffreys also was served with outstanding criminal summonses for two other second-degree trespassing counts that had been filed by Surry County authorities on May 9.

    They were encountered at Chick-fil-A late on the night of May 23 by city officers on a suspicious-vehicle call. Both had been banned from those premises by the restaurant’s owner on March 7.

    Jeffreys was confined in the Surry County Jail without privilege of bond, with bond information for Collins listed as “other.” They are scheduled to be in District Court Wednesday.
