On October 10, local authorities received a call reporting a suspicious individual hiding behind a tree at a residence in the 700-block of Bishop Road.

Upon arriving at the scene, police officers discovered a man who was in close proximity to the Highlander Tavern, situated just a short distance from the restaurant. The man was found consuming food and a beer, leading to questions about his situation. When questioned by the officers, he revealed that he had been employed at the Great Indian Kitchen but had been terminated earlier that day.

The man indicated that his abrupt dismissal left him with nowhere to go, raising concerns about his well-being and the circumstances leading to his termination. Officers engaged with him to assess his condition and determine if he required any assistance.
