Report: Shuffleboard puck stolen, thrown into house

Denton County Sheriff’s dep­uties are looking for three men who stole eight shuffleboard pucks and threw one of them through the side of a house.

The owner of a bar in the 9000 block of Industrial Road in the Justin area reported that three men she didn’t know came into the bar about 10:40 a.m. Thurs­day and began playing shuffleboard. They ordered drinks and began throwing the shuffleboard pucks extremely hard down the board, according to the report.

The bartender told the men to throw the pucks with less force, the owner said. The men left. But the owner discovered they had taken eight pucks with them.

That night, a homeowner in the 2100 block of Boss Range Road in the Justin area reported he heard a loud noise and a shuffleboard puck came crashing through the outer wall of his house. The victim said the puck flew across a baby’s room and struck the other wall, damaging that wall as well. The baby was not in the room at the time, according to the sheriff’s report.

The homeowner reported he looked outside and saw an old   pickup truck leaving the area.

600 block of Park Lane, Denton — A 20-year-old man reported Thursday that he was watching the Cowboys football game Sunday at a friend’s house and a man walked in and punched him in the nose, breaking it.

The victim said he was sitting on the couch next to the other man’s girlfriend when he walked in, angering the other man.

The victim said he left, found two friends and returned. They confronted some other men at the gathering, and then the victim heard his car window break.

He said he waited four days to report the crimes because he had planned retribution, but his mother talked him into contacting the police instead.
