• Madison garage burglary: Police swarmed the area around E Madison’s Callahan’s Auto just before midnight Thanksgiving night to set up containment after a report that somebody had broken into the service garage. As patrol cars blocked part of eastbound  Madison near 14th and set up a perimeter, officers made their way inside the building and contacted an individual, according to police radio. We’ll check to find out if that person was ultimately arrested but the preliminary report on the incident indicates there were signs of forced entry at the family owned business at 1319 E Madison.
