The Cross Timbers Gazette compiled a summary of recent incident reports made to the Argyle Police Department. On Aug. 20, officers told a pest control worker who was going door to door to make sure he has a permit to solicit. That same day, a driver complained that a traffic light at FM 407 and I-35W was acting suspiciously. Police said the light pattern was designed to accommodate two-way traffic from Sam Davis Road and that nothing was out of the ordinary.
On Aug. 21, a resident's home alarm was triggered after someone was seen placing packages inside the house. The person told officers they had been asked to watch the home while the owner was away but had not been given the alarm code. Also that day, a resident reported a dead armadillo along the roadway, and officers determined no action was needed.
On Aug. 23, a customer and a restaurant owner had a heated argument over a wait for food, according to the report. The report said the owner later brought the food to the customer's vehicle with a gift card, and the situation nearly became physical. About 30 minutes later, a truck backed into a fence at the same restaurant. On Aug. 24, a caller reported a vehicle repeatedly driving on Sam Davis Road. Officers found the driver was a student learning to drive with her father.
