The juvenile female is being tested and is undergoing medical exams prior to charges being filed. On April 27, another case of sexual abuse of a child was reported. The case is being investigated. The abuse did not occur in the home, said Bowles. It appears an arrest will be made in the case. On April 25, a male with long, dark hair and wearing a leather jacket was reported looking inside a vehicle. The individual appeared to be casing the vehicle. People need to be aware of individuals acting suspiciously, said Bowles. They would notice people who are around their neighbors homes and report such individuals to us. On April 25, a paper was served by the justice court for failure to appear and an order to show cause was requested. April 25, a misdemeanor theft was reported. The incident occurred on the south end of Nephi. A rear window was entered at a residence and minor items were stolen. The incident is being investigated. On April 26, a person was caught taking items from the girls locker room at Juab High School. Our department planted marked money, said Bowles. One individual Was arrested for the incident. The individual has since admitted to most of the thefts which have occurred in the girls locker room, said Bowles, On April 28, a warrant was issued for an individual who failed to appear at the city justice court.

Officials said there are 2,600 railroad crossings in the state. Of those, 1,300 are public crossings.

Weed seeds are easily spread, said Young. Knapweed is a particular problem for Utah farmers and is on the states noxious weed list. The seeds can get under a truck and can become embedded in the wool on sheep and in the hair on cattle hide.

Though it may not seem like a big deal to those who are riding along city streets on their way to the hills it can be disturbing to others, said Bowles. He said his department does not go out of their way trying to catch offenders, however, if they receive complaints they do follow those complaints up. Underage offenders can be referred to juvenile court, he said. We do not earmark individuals or try to key in on the problem, but when we receive a complaint we do check it out. Those who ride along city streets or even to the side of them are in violation of the law, he said. On April 22, said Bowles, a local minor adult was arrested, cited and released for retail theft. Also on April 22, his depart- s Correspondent Neil Garrett, a local painter, said The Times News article of last week which listed the complaints of contractors did not correctly represent his views. Garrett said he is a painter, by profession, and he is not a handyman. He, in fact, objects to the handyman license the city has. There are as many people working without one as are working with one, he said. According to city restrictions, a handyman is limited to a job under $500. Most do jobs which are priced higher than that, he said. The $500 ceiling, he said, is to include materials and labor. He wondered who was making certain that handyman license holders were not doing larger jobs than the license allows. Many, he said, must be doing more than the $500 ceiling. In addition, he said, many who do the work are not licensed and others take a long time to do the job.
