Laser incident points to burglary suspect
Obituaries
Police responding to a com-
plaint Thursday evening in the
1400 block of S.E. 12th Street
encountered a juvenile male who
had reportedly been disturbing
others by shining a laser pointer.
According to reports, police
confiscated the laser pointer and
questioned the 14-year-old sus-
pect.
The suspect, also wanted for
questioning in the burglary of a
neighbor's residence, reportedly
confessed to both crimes.
The burglary, which occurred
Aug. 26, took place at a home in
the same street block, according to
police. The suspect reportedly
took $60 in change and food from
the home's freezer.
He was arrested for that crime
and charged with felony burglary
of a habitation.
Reports indicate the juvenile
also told police he pointed the
laser at airplanes. Police charged
him with illumination of an air-
craft by intense light, a Class C
misdemeanor violation.
For shining the light at other
individuals, police also charged
the juvenile with disorderly con-
duct.
We’ve got our ordi-
nance that tells us what
we can and can’t do.
- John Waitkus, Fuzzy’s general manager

complex," he said, adding
officers are trained in the
proper method of dealing
with noise violations.
Upon the first response
to a complaint about deci-
bel levels, Sullivan said,
"We're going to give them
a warning and document
that warning."
The department's policy
standard is to issue one
warning per 24-hour peri-
od, he said, clarifying
noise complaints referring
to a length of time rather
than level of noise do not
require a warning. He
included prolonged ani-
mal noises and rattling
cars as examples of such
violations.
Although officers did
respond to the restaurant,
Sullivan said Fuzzy's
management has shown
an increased willingness
to be a good neighbor,
especially after the pas-
sage of the city's noise
ordinance.
Fuzzy's General
Manager John Waitkus
agreed, saying he will not
be satisfied until the res-
taurant and its neighbors
can peaceably coexist.
"It's gotten a lot better,"
he said. "We've got our
ordinance that tells us
what we can and can't
do."
Waitkus said manage-
ment always checks deci-
bel levels prior to any live
performance and credits
the police department
with offering assistance.
"They come in and let
us know" whenever a
complaint is made, he
said. "They are very, very
helpful."
Armed with their own
decibel meters, Fuzzy's
neighbors tell a different
story.
"We've been patient,"
Marsh said. "I figured
once it was made a law
that they'd try really hard
to comply with the law.
The grace period was a
chance ... and they
wouldn't do it."
Another nearby resi-
dent, Donnie Robertini,
"Fuzzy's got what they
were looking for and they
can't even comply with
it," he said.
Marsh said he was
among those calling for a
noise ordinance, specifical-
ly for the mixed-use dis-
trict, but lamented those
within that district "are the
ones that lost out."
In retrospect, he won-
dered if he and other
locals did themselves a
disservice by seeking the
ordinance in the first
place.
"We should have never
fought for a code," he
said. "We were doing bet-
ter just calling [police]
when we felt it was too
loud."
Robertini said his pri-
mary concern was not for
himself, but for his family.
"I've got a little girl,"
he said. "To be in compli-
ance during the week is
important to me."
Though they hoped for
a lower maximum decibel
level, Marsh and
Robertini said they would
gladly live beside Fuzzy's
if the noise did not violate
the existing ordinance. As
of Friday, though, Marsh
said he was contemplat-
ing relocation from the
city in which he has spent
the last 31 years.
"I'm ready to move out
of Mineral Wells and go to
another town with decent
regulations ... for a mixed-
use zone," he said.
Sullivan said he antici-
pates full compliance in
the near future and
desires to see everyone
involved find common
ground.
For his part, Waitkus
said he wants the same
thing.
"We hope for the best,"
he said.
