Several notable incidents occurred throughout the week, including charges under the Liquor Act, a driving complaint, an arson investigation, and a significant breakthrough in a previously reported break-and-enter case.
On May 24, shortly after midnight, officers on patrol observed a small group of adults in the downtown area. One adult male was found in possession of open alcohol and was issued a ticket. Later that night, the same individual was reported causing a disturbance by yelling in public. Due to their intoxicated state and the absence of a responsible party, the individual was arrested for public intoxication and held in cells until sober.
On May 24 at approximately 11 p.m., police received a report of a vehicle being driven through Elks Park. A witness provided a video recording and license plate number. Officers located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. The driver was issued multiple tickets. Had there been any damage to the park, mischief charges would have been considered.
On May 25, police responded to a fire reported on the driveway of a residence in the 300 block of 3rd Avenue. Officers quickly extinguished the blaze. With assistance from a witness, an adult male was identified, arrested, and charged with arson.
Throughout the week, police responded to 12 calls related to mental health and wellbeing. Of those, four individuals were transported to the hospital for further care and evaluation.
