He was sure it occurred in Moab, somewhere. An individual reported the loss of a wallet. The RP (Reporting Party) advised that the wallet was left in a local tavern. The RP remembered that it had been left there a short while later, returned and found it gone. A tavern is a good place to keep a wallet glued to the hip pocket. One of our regular RP's (we have RP's that report everything) advised there were two kids playing in the street. The parents rounded die kids in question up, about the time the officer arrived. A Moab juvenile will be visiting the judge on retail theft charges. The young man attempted to obtain a Hacky Sack at Brig's utilizing the old five finger discount. Another stereo adjustment was necessary. Tins one was on Chinle.

A California man reported that he lost his wallet. He believed it was lost in Moab, if not, somewhere in the western United States. The animal control officer responded on a complaint of an animal running at large. The complaint was of a pot bellied pig terrorizing a residential area. The owner of the pig was cited for allowing the animal to run. The owner thought the running at large law only applied to dogs. This should serve as a warning to the rest of you, keep your pigs in the house. An individual reported that the father of her baby came to her residence and took the baby from the home, while the child (and other Police Blotter The Moab Police Department handled 59 incidents and 1 traffic accident over the past week. The animal control officer dealt with 39 animal rW incidents, a medical assist, a civil detail, and an escort were also dealt with. A Moab man reported an attempted burglary of a vehicle. The RP's window had been broken, but nothing was taken from the vehicle. The subject that had left his wallet at the local tavern got his wallet back. It was turned in at the Visitors Center. I'm surprised! Officers responded on four alarms. Two were due to careless employees and the other two were due to unknown causes. An agency assist and a trespass complaint were also received. 3: children) was with a The father is not her husband, but is the father on the birth certificate. The mother is not concerned that the father will not properly care for the child, she believes he uses the child to keep her from going out. Sounds baby-sitte- r. like a civil problem to me. Another C.B.L. case was handled. A downtown restaurant reported that a vehicle drove by and threw an egg at the business. The suspects were located a short while later and were Two Moab residents were caught in a hot tub of a local motel at 1:30 a.m. by an officer 3: checking the area.

Rattlesnakes, wild horses featured in a new book by Alfred Frost Although the art of story telling may be learned, some people just naturally tell good tales. Alfred Frost of Monticello is a natural storyteller with good tales. "Between the years of 1980 and 1990 I did a lot of wilderness backpacking with friends and tourists, Frost said. "During rest stops through the day and at camp in the evenings I told stories." Hikers told him, "You must write a book about your experiences. His newest book, Rattesnakes & Wild Horses, and Other Campfire Tales, contains 30 stories, some drawn from Frost's personal experiences, some retelling of local folk tales. In addition to stories about wild animals, Frost retells the legend of he got his name and Big Foot-h- ow why local stockmen pledged a bounty for his pelt. Not many people have seen a rattlesnake in the wild much less met one face to face as Frost did in a silver mine. In relating his numerous and . solo hike and the thrill Frost experienced when seeing wild horses in Grand Canyon National Park, "They ran full speed. . .their tails straight out, manes flying in the wind and feet flashing in the sun." In his stories about people, Frost portrays such memorable characters as the skunk man, the hermit, Biscuit Catchum, and Abelardo, the herdsman. Six of the stories are autobiographical. Even though the author has received public recognition as a local director of the Soil Conservation District and for his work as a state representative and city councilman, these tales are not about personal achievement. These tales, told with skill and humor, celebrate one mans zest for life and his love of the outdoors and San Juan County.

Probably several times more. Just lucky, I guess." "The Horse Barrier Trail" tells of a Farm homeowners insurance a good buy. An officer responded on a complaint of a loud party. It is strange the effect a police officer has on the mood of a party. It was quiet when the officer departed. A Salt Lake man reported that he had stopped by a local motel to visit friends. He left his bicycle in a bike rack near the office at about midnight. When he returned to get his bike at 2:30 a.m. it was gone. The bike was not locked. What is it my kids say? Duh! I'll bet these two New Mexico men are saying, "I shouldn't have hadaV-8!- " The pair were observed strolling through City Market, one consuming a V-- 8 and the other a Gatorade. Store employees watched as the two drank the items in question, left the containers on the shelf, then walked out the front door. That will be the most expensive drink they ever had. The officer only thought that he was going to write a speeding ticket when he stopped a speeding vehicle on south Main Street. It turned into a full blown domestic violence. The male half was arrested on domestic violence assault charges. Officers also handled two abandoned vehicles and a forgery report. A subject reported that her boyfriend had her child and she wanted it back. (This is a different one than the previously reported Both the subject and her one). boyfriend are on the birth certificate, however, this has happened several times and she is getting tired of it.

An agency assist, a civil detail, and two more thefts were also dealt with. msm, mischief was reported. The RP advised that a pumpkin was thrown through a window of the RP's residence by a pack of girls. The girls were located by an officer and returned to the scene. When everything was sorted out, the RP advised that prosecution wasn't desired. The girls were advised to go home and wash the eggs out of their hair. The case was C.B.L. A Moab man was arrested on numerous charges. He was observed attempting to gain entry to vehicles and remove mountain bikes from vehicles in the parking lot of a local motel by a guest. Upon arrival of officers, the subject fled the area. He 'v0' - 1 ported the theft of his bicycle. The RP advised that he chained his bike to a garbage dumpster and went into a local bar. When he returned later the bike was gone. It was valued at $3,600.00. My van wont be worth that much' when it's paid off.

Remember last week when an officer was required to tell a male subject to quit asking some girls out. Well, he struck again. He was advised to refrain from asking another subject out on a date. You can't fault a guy for trying. Maybe he just can't take a hint? A noise problem, three agency assists, a theft, and a criminal mischief were also reported.
