Officers detected a strong odor of marijuana. The man was arrested and taken to jail. A search of the vehicle produced marijuana and paraphernalia. This was just another of tbrse just a little marijuana, no harm, incidents that could have killed someone. old Mona April 22, a male, a student at the middle school, was arrested and referred to juvenile court on charges of theft. "An investigation of missing personal property lead to the arrest, said Bowles. He said the sum involved was approximately $80 in cash. April 22, a simple assault case old was reported. One male was arrested and referred to juvenile court on the charges. "Our investigation determined old had assaultthe one ed the other. The one young man did not want to fight, and as a result, got beat up quite badly by the other, said Bowles. April 23, a theft of services occurred at a center freeway interchange business, said Bowles. The California man was stopped for not paying for gas for his vehicle after officers located him on the freeway. The man was traveling at speeds of 85 mph. Officers detected the odor of marijuana and arrested the man for the theft and for marijuana use. The vehicle was impounded. April 23, three tobacco violations occurred at the high school. Officers observed the three old juveniles "lighting up. Bowles said the males were referred to Youth Court on the offense. April 27, an unlawful sexual intercourse case was reported. Investigation by the police department led to the arrest of a old male from Eureka. The male juvenile was charged for the incident which involved female. The fean under-ag- e male, approximately three years younger than the male, cannot legally give consent April 28, four individuals were held at the high school after they were found smoking. Two were referred, by officers, to Youth Court. Two of the juveniles were referred to juvenile court "After the third offense, the cases are sent through the juvenile justice system, said Bowles. April 24, a case of felony theft took place at a local residence. He said television rets and cassettes were taken. There are the types of items taken by drug users because they can be sold for cash. Bowles said the investigation was continuing but said residents of the community need to be more cautious. "People need to make it more difficult for burglars to enter their residences.

Since the odor was strong, said Bowles, the man was given a field sobriety test and passed it. He paid the purchase price to the station and was charged with open container violation. May 5, a warrant was issued for two Utah County individuals who have been passing checks in the Nephi area issued on a dosed account Business owners in the area are being asked to look carefully at checks they suspect may not be valid and call officers.

However, the property owner was willing to hold the charges if the individuals would clean up the damage they did, said Bowles. He said all three individuals recognized the offer as a "good deal. They all showed up and did a good job of cleaning up. old CaliforMay 7, a nia male was arrested for prescription forgery at Nephi Pharmacy after the alert pharmacist contacted police officers. The prescription was not from the local area. This is a common ploy, said Bowles. He said drug addicts, who had graduated to the higher level drugs, would make appointments at doctors offices 33-ye- ar ported during the past three weeks, said Bowles.

We have some radical driving going on up there right now people backing into other cars and, occasionally, someone falling out of the back of a pickup truck. We are lucky that, so far, we havent had any serious accidents this year, said Bowles. -- Happy Trails.

The Boy Scouts and the American Legion helped with this project Descendants of these Mormon pioneers either sent or took flower wreaths to lay along the route in honor of their loved ones. Dale and others of the wagon train took flowers and were very impressed, "Sometimes we could almost feel the pioneer presence, and I cannot talk about it without tears for them.

While they were alone in the office waiting for the doctor, they would go through drawers until they found unused scrip pads. They would try to copy the signature and writing of the doctor. They then make the prescription out for a pain medication, said Bowles. He said the pharmacist, Lloyd Olpin, checked his computer and found the man was a suspect in prior prescription fraud cases. He was arrested at the pharmacy and taken to jail. May 8, another case of open container violations occurred.

In this case, he said, several checks were passed and one business lost money three times. "Chances are, that even when these individuals are apprehended the businesses will not get back any money. It is better to call the first time, even if the gas has been pumped, than to continue to allow the suspidous individual to continue to pass such checks other places. Bowles said a check had a date by the name on the top of the check which showed when the account was opened. If the date was recent, Bowles.
