inside, no person was found in
or around the property.
Safety tip: If you find some-
thing suspicious, do not
attempt to investigate. It is
dangerous not only for you but
also for officers.
There is also the fact that if a
crime has indeed been commit-
ted, then you may be responsi-
ble for destroying potential
evidence and possibly losing
the case, thus allowing whoev-
er did it to go free.
Also, if “taking care of it”
requires you to trespass on
another’s property, you could
face potential prosecution
along with the original suspect.
Traffic activity was light
during this period, with most
drivers obeying the speed lim-
its.
One citation was issued for
speed, along with many warn-
ings for speed.
Thirty five warnings were
issued for speed violations that
did not rise to the level of
receiving a citation.
Six warnings were also
issued for seatbelt violations
and 13 warnings were also
issued for various equipment
violations (broken headlight,
tail light out, etc.).
Final arbitration bill: The
final bill for the arbitrator’s
services in the Creighton case
(has been received.)
The total bill amounts to
$1482.
