Re: Report of the Police Department for March, 2015
In the month of March the police department received 359 calls for service. In addition to these calls, 102 uniform traffic
tickets were issued and 8 parking violations were cited. A breakdown of the calls for service is as follows:
No felony complaints were reported within the village this month.
3 misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief were handled. In one of the incidents a resident reported that their vehicle
windshield had been covered with paint. There is a suspect in this case and the investigation is ongoing. The two
remaining incidents involved neighboring residents reporting that their mailboxes had been damaged. This was an
isolated incident and there are no suspects or leads.
5 Vehicle and Traffic stops led to the operators being charged with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle
3rd.
3 Vehicle and Traffic stops led to subjects being found in possession of marijuana. 7 persons were charged with Unlawful
Possession of Marijuana violations.
1 Local Law violation for Dog Control was reported. The complainant stated that the neighbor’s dog has defecated in his
yard all winter and now that the snow is melting, it is an unsightly nuisance. The complainant does not have direct proof
of the suspect dog being that of the neighbor’s and has been advised to note any future observation of defecation activity.
There was 1 Motor vehicle accident investigated which did not include deer involvement.
1 animal problem/deer complaint was received. A resident reported that a deer, which appeared to have an injured front
leg, was in their front yard. Upon officer’s arrival, the officer found the deer to be one that had been observed in the past,
and concluded that the deer was managing well as it fled the location without a problem.
In summary, 14 persons were arrested and the following 14 charges were filed: 7-Unlawful Possession of Marijuana, 5-
Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle 3rd, and 2-Execute Bench Warrant.
