Crime Map and Updates

Notable Trends

• Officers arrested the suspect in the aggravated assault reported this week. The suspect punched the victim numerous times, dragged them across the residence by their hair, strangled them, wouldn't let them call 911 and wouldn't let them leave. They were able to text a friend for help and finally get a call to 911 without the suspect realizing.
• Two commercial burglaries reported this week with one still an open investigation. In one case, the suspect broke a store front window, reached in and stole merchandise from the display. In another case, two suspects previously trespassed from a business returned to steal more merchandise. They fled before police arrived but were recognized from multiple incidents and trespasses at different locations of the business. Charges were referred to the prosecutor.
• Two residential burglaries reported with one arrest. In the arrest, the suspect broke the window to a vacant residence and climbed inside. He was located on the street and was convinced he was being followed by someone. In the other case, the door was pried open and blank checks were stolen. Ensuring your door has a strike plate with three-inch screws is a great way to deter someone from prying a door open. We offer free home security assessments if you'd like to learn more tips.

• Three robberies reported with one still an open investigation. Officers arrested a suspect in one case where he tried to push an employee trying to stop a shoplift.
