Family Problems:  3800 E Hwy 56 (Love’s), a man and his father got into a confrontation with another man and woman during a custody exchange. The father tried to enforce elements of the court order and attempted a “citizen’s arrest” by unjustifiably preventing the other man and woman from leaving the area. The man pushed the father with the bumper of his car so he could leave before a fight ensued. PC was established for the father’s actions; however, the other man did not want him charged. All parties were cautioned on their behavior for future exchanges.  The child was the most behaved.  What’s that tell ya?

Shoplifting: Mountain Avenue, three high school students entered the store and stole one Redbull Energy Drink each and a pack of cookies. The juveniles were cooperative and summonsed before being released to their parents.  An energy drink with a sugar high.  I think they ran to Carter Lake and back 6 times before their parents arrived.

Vehicle Crash – Non-Injury:  600 Blk 2nd Street, a driver backed a 26-foot box truck into a fire hydrant. The hydrant was spun in place and put out of service. No gusher, very disappointing I must say.

Attempted Vehicle Theft / Criminal Mischief:  Woodcock Street, a resident reported her Chevy truck ignition had been tampered with and the door handle had been tampered with as well. It appears this incident occurred overnight.

Vehicle Theft:  Turner Avenue, a resident reported his 2001 red Ford F350 was stolen from the parking lot of this business. The owner left the keys inside the vehicle, but the vehicle was tracked to Thornton via live GPS. Thornton PD was advised, and we assisted them with locating the vehicle. The vehicle was located by Thornton Police, and they actively followed it into multiple shopping centers through Thornton but did not attempt contact. A second unknown suspect was actively using the resident’s credit card which had been left in the vehicle. Thornton PD advised they contacted the vehicle after it was unoccupied, and they advised the unknown suspect had used dish soap to wipe down the interior of the stolen vehicle. Thornton PD returned the vehicle to the rightful owner, and it was later learned the unknown suspects had gotten into a silver Nissan Altima which is the same vehicle involved in the incident at Johnson Corner last night.

Follow Up: Weld County Jail, Larimer Deputy conducted a Jail interview with the eluding suspect from last week who was now in custody. She implicated another man & herself in eluding & narcotics charges.

Suspicious Circumstances:  Massachusetts, a caller stated there was a truck on the street that has been running for 3 hours.  Deputy gets a hold of the vehicle’s owner who lives on Massachusetts, and he will be turning it off and moving it. He advised the battery was dead and he had been charging it by letting his vehicle run.  Truck running for 3 hours, gas prices just below $4.  Maybe I’m overthinking this.

Suspicious Circumstances:  Mountain Avenue, report of a man possibly living in a vehicle that was parked in front of a business.  The reporting party provided us a plate for the vehicle which belong to a known homeless man who has been parking in the neighborhood south of this neighbor multiple times before. The man was not at the vehicle when deputies checked.  Further attempts will be made.
