By Natalie Feulner, Town Correspondent

Dedham police responded to a number of calls during the past two weeks -- some routine, others a bit out of the ordinary. Here’s a look at a few of the more noteworthy ones. All suspects are presumed to be not guilty until proven otherwise in a court of law. A full list is available at 600 High St.

On Monday at 2:49 p.m., police received a report of a vehicle into a pole on Bridge Street. According to the logs, the driver was injured and NStar had to be notified of the incident.

Later that evening, a resident on Liberty Lane reported that someone had tried to enter the house and caused damage to the rear door and a window. Officers wrote a "housebreak report" on the incident.

Then at 7:03 p.m., Jennifer M. Wozny, of East Weymouth, was arrested and charged on defaulting on an arrest warrant. The arrest followed a report of a possible shoplifter at a store on Legacy Place. Wozny was brought to the station and released to the court.

On Tuesday, a resident reported finding a steak knife on the front seat of his or her car that was parked on O’Neil Drive. The resident requested police take a record of the incident.

Then at 2:15 p.m., an employee at a gas station on Ames Street reported that a Mercedes SUV left without paying for $66.77 in gas. The caller only reported seeing part of the car’s license plate. No charges have been filed.

On Wednesday at 9:58 a.m., a resident on High Street reported being bitten by his or her neighbor’s dog. The town’s canine control officer was notified of the incident.

Later that evening at 5:32 p.m., a cyclist riding on High Street reported being struck by a vehicle. The caller did not report any injuries and no charges were filed against the driver.
