The 44-year-old woman and her 72-year-old neighbor were both cited by responding officers for disorderly disor-derly conduct. The women suffered a combination of scratches, bruises, and missing miss-ing clumps of hair before another neighbor saw them fighting and was able to separate sep-arate them. 52803 A 7-year-old girl rode her bicycle in front of a car last night at 276 N. 200 E. Estimated vehicle speed at the time of that accident was between 10 and 20 miles per hour. The girl was taken by paramedics to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. She was later transported to Primary Children's Hospital for a laceration to her spleen. She was listed in stable condition this morning. morn-ing. There was an armed robbery at the Phillips 66 station early this morning just before 1:00 AM. The station is located at 790 N. 1200 W. A lone robber entered the store, he had his black shirt pulled up over his head. He was armed with a handgun and demanded money from the clerk. He escaped eastbound on foot and was not located. He got away with an undisclosed undis-closed amount of money. The suspect is described as a white male, 5'9" tall, 130 pounds, brown hair, dressed in dark clothing. 52903 A 19-year-old man shoplifted last night at Maceys Grocery Store at 880 N. State. When he was stopped by store security, he gave a false name of Pablo Garcia and told store security securi-ty that he was an illegal alien and had no identification, identifica-tion, hoping they would kick loose and figure it wasn't worth their time. They called the police anyway and when the officer told him that he would be jailed for theft and INS called to deal with his illegal status, he suddenly remembered his real name and that he had legal identification in his car. He was booked into the Orem holding facility with the added charge of false information. There was a fight last night (10:30 PM) between a group of Hispanics and Caucasians at the Conoco Station at 1588 N. State. According to witnesses, a car load of Hispanic males came through the parking lot and 226-2969 FAX: 226-6221 354 South State Street, Orem mm ! I . ! - words were exchanged between them and one of the while males. The Hispanics said they would return in 15 minutes with other people. They did, and they were armed with clubs, pipes and golf clubs. They rushed one man and hit him with clubs. He had to be taken to the Timpanogos Hospital with gashes to his head and a depressed skull fracture. Another man in the Caucasian group was also taken to the hospital with cuts to his head when he tried to step in to help the first man. Officers are looking look-ing for the driver and occupants occu-pants of a white Mitsubishi Eclipse to charge them with aggravated assault. There are some leads the officers are following up on. As a side note to this incident inci-dent at Conoco, apparently when the suspects fled they left a couple of golf clubs behind, one of which was a Ping. Before the police arrived, a 19-year-old man saw the club and decided it would look good in his bag and took it. An officer stopped him as he was pulling away from the station sta-tion and informed him the club was evidence that had been used in an assault. He said he would never have taken it if he had known that. The officer lectured him about taking lost or mislaid mis-laid property that didn't belong to him and then arrested him and his 20-year-old passenger for valid warrants they each had on them. They were booked into the Utah County Jail. An Orem man driving early this morning (3:00 AM) northbound on State Street at 1587 S. reported that he had to avoid a small child crawling on the side of the road. A 6-month-old Hispanic baby was heading westbound across State Street. The reporting person (whom I am trying to locate to see if he is available to talk to the media) said he thought originally the baby was possibly a dog. Seeing a baby on State Street is not what you would expect to see, regardless of the time of day. The baby was clad in only a soiled diaper. He had scrapes, blood, and dirt on his hands, knees and face from crawling on the road. The baby was brought back to the Public Safety Building where one of our dispatcher changed him into a clean diaper, cleaned him up and put him in a pair of her own baby's pajamas she had with her. The baby was turned over to a Division of Family Services worker for the night and we have been waiting to hear from a very anxious family, but as of yet, we haven't gotten a call. 53003 A 1993 blue Geo Storm was stolen sometime Wednesday night from the area of 500 N. 400 W. The car was located in PI. Grove on Thursday morning near Utah Lake. It had been hidden hid-den in some weeds and the stereo equipment was stolen from it. Three arrests have been made in connection with the aggravated assault incident at Conoco that I told you about yesterday. The incident inci-dent happened Wednesday Your Link Back To The Road.

Patrol officers following follow-ing up on the case identified three subjects involved and arrested them yesterday afternoon. A 18-year-old , of Orem, 20-year-old , of Orem, and 22-year-old , of Orem, were arrested for aggravated assault and booked into the Utah County Jail. Detectives are also considering consider-ing information that would make the two victims in this incident more culpable than originally believed and charges of disorderly conduct con-duct will likely be filed against them. Home invasion robbery occurred this morning at about 8:15 this morning at a home in the area of 700 N. 300 E. Victim described the suspects as two black males in a green Ford Astro van. Not much more information available on this yet. Officers are still on the scene. I don't believe anyone was hurt, but money was reportedly taken. 6203 A 25-year-old man, of SLC, committed a burglary at a business in the area of 900 W. Center early Sunday morning and might have gotten away with it had he not stopped to leave a calling card by urinating on the side of the building before he left. His act of lewdness was observed by a witness, who called police. The burglary was discovered while officers were speaking with him and discovered items in a bag he carried that had come from the building. Once arrested and placed inside a police car, he became enraged and kicked out a window of the police car. He was booked into Utah County Jail on charges of burglary, theft, possession of burglary tools, possession of Methamphetamine, criminal mischief (police car), and of course, lewdness. Officers cited a couple of neighbors on Sunday night (9:30 p.m.) in the area of 500 S. 1200 W. for fighting in the street. One man's wife walked past a neighbor who was drinking beer in his front yard. She sarcastically said, "Drinking again, eh?" That naturally evoked a somewhat colorful response from the neighbor. The woman's husband overheard the yelling and came to defend his wife's honor. He invited his neighbor into the street to settle matters. There was some pushing and the husband got backhanded in the mouth. Officers arrived and ended up citing both men for disorderly conduct con-duct and told them to leave each other alone, but they never listen officers ended up going back a little while later and cited the neighbor again, this time for lewdness. Apparently everyone every-one stood at his or her respective fence and argued again about things not being over and the neighbor mooned the woman and her husband. These people are in their 40's for crying out loud After our second trip back, things settled down. It's interesting to think that everyone could have been saved a lot of grief and inconvenience last night had they only kept their comments com-ments to themselves, beginning begin-ning with the woman. 1 & 2 Bedroom with Full Kitchen & Balcony Washer & Dryer in each unit Educational and Cultural Activities Chauffeured Transportation Storage Space Onsite Beauty & Barbershop Computer Lab & Library Maid Service SCERA Presents Tony Award-Winning Musical "Big River" ; !.r ' . - f s! :: i Darick Pead as Huck Finn and Melvin Lee Shambry, Jr. as Jim in SCERA's production of the Tony award-winning musical BIG RIVER, directed byJerry Elison and playing June 13-28 8pm at the SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre in Orem.

SCERA landed the rights to the musical just before licensing became unavailable to local theatre groups because of an upcoming Broadway revival of the show making SCERA's huge' undertaking of "Big River" one of the only productions you'll be able to see in Utah for the foreseeable future.

Director Jerry Elison went to great lengths and several sever-al hundred miles to get the perfect actors for his "Big River." He cast more than three dozen veteran local thespians, but found his Jim when he traveled to Rock Springs, Wyoming, to see a production of "Big River" at Western Wyoming Community College earlier this year. "There was a wonderful actor there who played the role of the runaway slave," Elison explains. "His name is Melvin Lee Shambry, Jr., and when I spoke with him after the performance, he said he would love to come and play Jim for me. So he's staying at my house a detour before he goes to perform in Portland for the summer and then to New York City on an SummerfieUL Now Open Call 434-7581 to iScfaedule a vi6ii io our 'llnv 'TZetirefrierf Community ."'At acting scholarship. I am thrilled to have him here in Orem." Elison is excited to take full advantage of the Shell's big outdoor stage to present a musical adventure that is alternately hilarious, sus-penseful sus-penseful and heartwarming. The musical, based on Twain's writings about life along the Mississippi River, received seven Tony Awards, including best musical, book and score, after its 1985 Broadway premiere. The musical brings to life many of the unforgettable characters from Twain's novel. Darick Pead will play Huckleberry Finn and Zac Freeman will be Tom Sawyer. Other leading roles include Agnes Broberg as the Widow Douglas, Karlene Young as Miss Watson, Denise Gull as the strange lady, Scott Montgomery at Duke, Dane Allred as King, Ashley . Gardner as Mary Jane and Alan Humphreys as Mark Twain. The story is connected through a series of vignettes related by Huck and propelled pro-pelled by country king Roger Miller's award-winning score a brilliant and rousing mix of country, folk, bluegrass, blues and gospel. Among the spirited songs are "Do You Want to Go to Heaven," "I, Huckleberry, Me," "River in the Rain," "Waitin" for the Light to Shine," "Free at Last" and "Muddy River." Elison says the challenges to making a successful production pro-duction is in the casting of a few key characters. "Because Huck ties everything together, togeth-er, we had to have an engaging engag-ing actor up to the task I found that in Darick Pead, a Timpanogos High School student stu-dent with the much-needed mischievous look and amazing amaz-ing voice." Assisting Elison are Shalaina Anderson as Asst. Director, Dave Tinney as Choreographer, Marcie Jacobsen as Music Director and Robert Barham as Stage Manager. Retirement Community |
