BURGLARIES/THEFTS
—A residential burglary on
Quail Hollow Circle resulted
in the loss of $12,000 in cash
and a pistol Thursday.
—Two vehicles parked near
the 1000 building of the apart-
ments at 3403 Garth were
burglarized Wednesday night.
Combined loss is estimated at
$900.
Police said a jogger suffered
serious lacerations to his leg
when he ran into a school bus
Thursday.
The 34-year-old victim was
running on Spring Lane while
the approaching bus was east-
bound on September. Where the
two roads intersect, the bus
stopped for a traffic sign and the
victim, believing he had the
right of way, continued running.
The bus driver never saw the
jogger and the bus pulled into
his path while it was turning
left.
Police said the jogger told
them he ran into the bus, which
left the scene.
The victim asked an area
resident to phone police and was
transported by ambulance to a
Baytown hospital. Police later
identified the bus with the help
of the school district transporta-
tion director, Marvin Guy.
ASSAULT
A 16-year-old grocery store
employee was the victim of an
assault late Thursday, police
