Sheriff's stats show rise
in criminal cases
The total number of criminal
cases in Morrow County rose
dramatically last year, accor
ding to statistics released by
Morrow County Sheriff Roy
Drago. Figures stayed fairly
consistent from 1990 to 1993,
between 809 and 886, but
soared to 1,034 total incidences
last year.
Burglary in Morrow County,
however, has achieved a five-
year low. The county had 54
burglaries in 1994, lower than
1990 with 58. The past three
years, 1991-1993, the incidence
was pretty level, with 76 in '91
and '92 and 75 in '93.
Theft, on the other hand,
took an upward jump of
around 20 in each of the past
two years. Reported thefts in
Morrow County numbered 82,
79, 70, 94 and 114 in the past
five years, respectively.
Sexual crimes and sexual
abuse more than doubled the
past year, from nine in 1993 to
22 last year. The five year low
was in 1990, with three in
cidences. Twelve were reported
in '91 and '92.
Driving under the influence
of intoxicants seemed to be on
a downward trend, with a high
of 30 incidences reported in
1990 and '91, 29 in '92, 21 in '93
and 22 last year.
Criminal driving shows a
dramatic downward trend,
from a high of 45 in '90 to 12
last year.
Drug investigations are also
on a downward spiral, with on
ly 20 last year, compared to 40
in 1990.
Criminal mischief/vandalism
has stayed steady the past two
years, with 82 each year. But,
that figure shows a pretty big
jump over the three previous
years, with 67, 65 and 63,
respectively.
Remaining constant are ar-
son/attempted arson, with 1-2
each year over the past five
years, and criminal trespass,
with 8-11 each year.
Assault/menacing/endanger-
ing have shown an upward
trend, with five year numbers
as follows: 57, 67, 71, 77, 75.
Motor vehicle accidents have
been up and down over the
past years, with a high of 33 in
'90, a low of 18 in '92 and 26
last year.
