Police Blotter
April 1, 2020
Covid-19 still got you down? Here are a few more things you can do while stuck at home: dust off that old guitar or other instrument and rock it like Guns N’ Roses (don’t disturb the neighbors, please), try a face mask moisturizer (it’s okay if you’re a dude. A man’s face needs it too), look at pictures of cats, or here is a fun one, mute the audio on a soap opera and create your own dialogue.
Blotter time!
20040031: On April 1, 2020, at 11:57 a.m., Officer Mattson responded to a report of a Domestic Battery. His investigation revealed that no crime had been committed, but an argument over a spouse’s drinking habits. No arrests were made, but we’ll document the incident for use later if this continues to be a problem.
20040073: On April 1, 2020, at 6:13 p.m., Officer Peery responded to a report of fight between two men. It looks like the fight started because someone wasn’t maintaining a six foot distance. This led to an argument, which lead to pushing, wish ended with fists being thrown. Seems bizarre, but it appears Covid-19 thing has everyone on edge. The victim received minor injuries and the 19 year old Rock Springs, Wy man was cited for Battery.
20040075: This one didn’t end up in a report, but it is certainly worth mentioning. On April 1, 2020, at 6:29 p.m., Officer Gerlach responded to a report of a suspicious person. It was reported that a man told a START bus driver earlier in the week that he was Covid-19 positive and that today he was so stir crazy from being on mandatory quarantine that he just wanted to ride the START bus around. The answer was a big, NO, followed by a call to the police. We are still looking for the man, but you can be sure if we find him he’ll get a citation for breaking quarantine. He may also be taken in on a mental hold for knowingly risking others to a potential lethal virus. Who does that?
20040085: Collision Hit & Run. (No Suspect)
That’s it from yesterday. Stay safe, Jackson.
