From Oct. 4 police reports:

Vandalism:

William Stirling Teeter, 50, of Burley, who was sentenced to a year of probation Oct. 30 for exhibiting a deadly weapon in June after pulling a semi-automatic pistol on a 13-year-old neighborhood kid whose ball rolled into Teeter's yard as he was mowing his lawn, reported that "the neighbor boys hit his car with a basketball." According to the report, his Ford Focus had three dents in it.

"I asked Sterling (sic) how he knew the boys did it with a basketball. Sterling (sic) stated he just knew and would bet his life on it," Deputy Chris Weber's report reads. "I asked Sterling (sic) if he saw them do it. He stated he did not. I told Sterling (sic) without him seeing it happen or without video it would not hold up in court."
