Cases of Note:
- On 11/10/2016 Officers were called to the 1900 block of East 221st. The victim said individuals damaged his rental vehicle which was parked in the driveway. The victim thought it was his brother who damaged the vehicle since they had recently had an argument. The victim provided a description of the offender vehicle which was located with the offender as well as several others in the vehicle. All the subjects were taken into custody. The Detectives were able to secure charges on the 3 offenders involved in this case for criminal damage to the vehicle.
- On 11/16/2016 an Officer took a report from an individual who reported her credit card had been stolen. When the Officer contacted the credit card company it was determined that the card was used in a neighboring town. Investigating further Detectives found the victim was trying to defraud the credit card company and had knowledge of the person using the card. Charges of fraud were secured against the victim.
- On 12/5/2016 the victim of a domestic violence act contacted the police to report her ex-boyfriend was stalking her. Upon arrival of the police the ex-boyfriend offender fled the scene. The offender was driving at a high rate of speed from the area losing control and getting into an accident. The victim identified the offender who was injured in the accident and taken into custody. The victim was transported to the hospital for the injuries sustained in the accident. Charges for stalking were approved as well as intimidation charges since the offender persistently called the victim while he was in the hospital trying to get the victim to drop the charges.
