Screaming good time - A man called police at about 9:45 p.m. Sunday after hearing screaming coming from a nearby residence in the 2600 block of 18th Avenue S.E. When a police officer went to the home, he found about 15 women having a bachelorette party. They were screaming as presents were being opened and preparing for a stripper to arrive. Police asked the party-goers to close windows and doors so they wouldn't disturb the neighbors.

Drugs - Police responded shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday to a call about people doing drugs inside a car parked at a storage facility on Queen Avenue S.W. No one was using drugs when police showed up. The officers searched two men, their car and a storage unit they were renting. The two men were cited for possession of methamphetamine after the officers found drug paraphernalia and a small amount of meth. A drug-sniffing dog and its handler from the Linn County Sheriff's Office assisted.

Give me - A woman was arrested late Saturday evening after allegedly walking into a stranger's home and making demands.

According to police, the woman went into a house in the 1500 block of Santiam Road S.E., where a family was watching TV and drinking coffee. The woman told them to give her beer and a cigarette and then used profanity before leaving.

An officer found the woman near Ninth Avenue and Geary Street S.E. Christine Ann Parmalee, 44, of Albany was taken to the Linn County Jail on a charge of criminal trespass.

Police have had several recent contacts with Parmalee. Earlier on Saturday, at about 3:15 a.m., police told Parmalee to move on after getting a complaint about her standing in the drive-through at a fast food business.

Hit-and-run - Police took a report of a hit-and-run accident at 1:45 p.m. Saturday on Geary Street near 34th Avenue S.E.

Crash - A woman was taken to the Lebanon hospital with serious injuries following a single-vehicle crash at about 2:50 a.m. Saturday on Plagman Drive. According to the sheriff's office, Patricia M.
