An officer made contact with a complainant at the police department July 26 in reference to theft by taking and illegal use of credit/debit card. The complainant stated a woman picked his pocket while dancing with him in the Star Lounge. She then told him she had to use the bathroom and he did not see her again that night. The next morning while preparing for work, the complainant realized his wallet and its contents were missing. He remembered the woman pulling and scratching him on his right side while they were dancing and thought she must have taken his wallet at that point.
