A Sheridan woman filed a harassment report with police July 20, alleging that her ex-boyfriend has repeatedly contacted her and her teenage daughter through social media despite being blocked multiple times, according to a Sheridan Police Department incident report.

The report states Stephanie Bryan and her 16-year-old daughter came to the police department around 2 p.m. to report the harassment. Bryan told Officer Saundra McCool that she and her daughter had blocked the man, identified in the report as Brad Dillan Tipton of Star City, on Facebook, Snapchat and TikTok, but that he continued to create new accounts to contact them, the report states.

According to the report, Bryan said she and Tipton have a son together but were never married and have no formal custody agreement. Bryan told the officer that when she has gone to Star City to drop off the child, Tipton has barricaded himself inside his house and told her she was "at gun point," the report states. The report does not indicate that any weapon was recovered or that charges have been filed in connection with that claim.

Bryan also told the officer that Tipton is a military veteran who she said suffers from PTSD, and that the harassment has been ongoing for about a year, according to the report. She said she wanted the pattern documented and asked that it stop, the report states.

The report lists the case as an information/harassing-communications report. As of the report's most recent update, the case remained open with no arrest reported. The allegations in the report are those of the complainant and have not been proven in court; Tipton has not been charged, and no criminal allegations against him have been established as fact.

Two Sheridan residents reported separate cases of identity fraud to police within a few hours of each other on July 24, according to Sheridan Police Department incident reports. No suspects have been identified in either case.

In the first report, Kayla Cantwell told Officer Layton Bell that she received a credit alert indicating someone had opened a checking account in her name at U.S. Bank, according to the report. Cantwell said she contacted the bank, which confirmed the account had been opened using her personal information without her authorization and that it had since been closed, the report states.

The report states Cantwell also found soft credit inquiries from Carvana that she did not recognize. She contacted Carvana and confirmed the inquiries had not resulted in any accounts being opened, according to the report. Cantwell told police she had already filed reports with the three major credit bureaus and the Federal Trade Commission in addition to the police report, the report states.

In the second report, filed later that day, Debbie Ross told Bell she had received a letter stating an Apple Card account in her name was overdue, according to the report. Ross said she has never had an Apple Card and contacted the company, which advised her to file a report with local law enforcement, the report states. Bell advised Ross to also file reports with Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, according to the report.

Neither report identifies a suspect, and both cases remained listed as open as of their most recent updates. Financial identity fraud is a felony under Arkansas law.

Sheridan police responded to the 900 block of North Main Street on July 16 after a resident reported the front driver's side window of his truck had been shattered while parked outside his apartment.

No suspect has been identified, according to the report.

A Sheridan woman contacted police July 24 to report that her father's wallet could not be located following a motor vehicle accident in Sheridan the previous day, according to a police report.

The report is listed as informational only, with no suspect named.
