    From a mooning incident to shots fired from a moving car, this is a list of some of the crimes reported to Omaha Police over the past few days.

    A 25 year old Heartland woman tells police she was cut off while driving on Highway 75, then the other driver fired six shots at her car.

    Her infant child was in the car at the time.

    The woman tells police the gunman was driving a 2008 blue Ford Escape.

    Two recent assaults have occured in two popular night spots.

    In the first, a 26 year old Omaha man tells police he was at 50th and Underwood when another man in a dark colored S.U.V. pulled up and demanded "everything". The victim tells police he handed over his wallet containing more than $1,000.

    In the second incident, a 33 year old man tells police he was in the Old Market when a man approached him demanding money. The victim reported the crime from CUMC, where he was taken for his injuries.

    A 54 year old Heartland woman tells police while she, her sister, and her niece were at a local vegetable stand, they were the victims of sexual misconduct.

    According to police reports a man, unprovoked, dropped his drawers exposing his rear end to the three ladies.

    Last and perhaps the strangest report to Omaha Police, officers were sent to East Fort and Lindbergh Drive for a disturbance. When they arrived officers found a 21 year old Carter Lake man with serious burns to his left arm and hand. He would not tell officers how he was injured.

    The mystery was cleared up when officers talked to witnesses. They tell investigators the injured man was arguing with another, tried to grab a burning limb out of a fire pit.

    You may have complaints about Omaha police, which is certainly understandable, but try having to deal with Bellevue police officers! Nothing worse!! And I feel bad for the guy that was robbed on Underwood, but why would you be carrying around $1000 in cash on your person??? Not nowadays, people!!!

    Well, first, OPD doesn't patrol Hwy 75 (compliments of Thomas Warren). And they can't do their jobs anywhere else because they aren't required to. They just get their paychecks and spit on those they are supposed to protect. Please keep in mind that OPD will NOT let you protect yourself-- if you do-- you go to jail.
