The security guards were on hand to watch over a birthday party, but decided to leave when told they could not have their weapons inside.
Security personnel hired to watch over a quinceanera party at the Greenfield Community Center on May 11 were advised by Greenfield police they could not be armed at the party. Weapons are not permitted inside the Community Center, or any other city-owned building. The security officers told police they would leave the party because they did not want to leave their firearms in their vehicles. That same night, police received a noise complaint about the party at 10:40 p.m., and partygoers were asked to turn the music's volumn and bass down. That and the following incidents were recorded in the Greenfield Police Department incident log for the week of May 6-12:

What was in the package when it arrived at his doorstep looked a lot different than what was on the computer screen when he ordered it.
Selling – and in one instance, buying – random items did not work out for a handful of local people last week. A man reported he ordered something on eBay and paid for it, but when the item was shipped to his home in the 4700 block of South 123rd Street, all he received was an empty box April 24. Meanwhile, a woman who put an ad on Craigslist to try to sell a pair of pants reportedly received inappropriate phone messages April 25 from a man who asked if she’d sell him her underwear instead. That same day, a man tried selling his sister’s iPhone at Game Stop, 7420 W. Holmes Ave., but ran into trouble when the employee noticed the phone had a message that read, “Give me my phone back.” The man told police the family is broke and he was just …
