Shannondale-Large Black Dog

Report filed on Thursday, February 1, 2007 - 19:08 :: Reports
Loose dog acting erractically in area of Caesar Road and Rolling Lane
Two reports have been received describing a large, black dog with a collar on Rolling Lane near Caesar Road. The dog has been acting very strangely, showing friendliness to some and unwarranted aggressiveness to others. A young mother and her child were "held hostage" in their vehicle, and again later in their home, by the dog due to his bristling, growling and drooling behavior. This was observed by a second person, who also described the dog's random behavior.

Animal Control was notified, but will not respond until tomorrow. The dog does seem to be staying in the area.

CAUTION: DO NOT approach this animal since rabies is a distinct possibility. If the animal is spotted, notify Animal Control immediately by calling Dispatch at 725-8484.

A young male has stolen cases of beer from two local stores.
A young male has been involved in the theft of a case of beer from two local stores, Weber's and Sweet Springs, in the past week.

The male was seen driving a turquoise Neon with possible MD plates and may now be living somewhere in The Mountain area.

In both thefts, he parked his vehicle so that the plate # could not be readily seen, walked into the store, grabbed a case of beer and quickly left. A female was waiting in the car at Sweet Springs. In the Webers incident, a male accomplice was with him.

The Sheriff's Dept. and SSP are interested in getting a vehicle plate # and a location on this suspect so that he may be stopped before there is another deadly DUI incident in the area.

Person in need

Report filed on Sunday, October 22, 2006 - 15:57 :: Reports
Male entering homes and asking for help.
SSP received two calls about an adult male wandering around the Redbird area (Gate 1), entering homes without permission and asking for money. The subject claimed to be living in the area.

The person claimed he had lost his job, had no money and had no heat or electricity in his home. He was walking into homes of other residents in the area thru UNLOCKED DOORS while residents were at home, and he appeared somewhat confused and disorganized. He stated to one person that he had recently used drugs and had no one to help him.

The Sheriff's Office was contacted to investigate the situation since the person appeared to be in distress and no one was able to confirm that the person was a resident.

Two Deputies were able to locate the person and speak to him and a neighbor. They were able to verify that he was not a missing or wanted person, and that he did not appear to be in immediate distress. They were going to refer the situation to Human Services for possible assistance.

Residents in the area are advised to lock their doors to prevent uninvited guests from entering without their knowledge. Hopefully, getting "The System" involved will assist this person. Residents are asked to call Nat at 725-SAFE if there are further problems or concerns.

I looking for information and/or assistance on equipment needed to run a successful Neighborhood watch program. We are just getting started and was wondering if someone could reccomend some products and stores that could prove useful to us. Thanks !

Dangerous ATV Riding II

Report filed on Thursday, August 24, 2006 - 15:36 :: Reports
Mission Rd - Crazy Reckless ATV Driving
around 6pm 08/23/06 two guys on a bright purple sporty style ATV came tearing down Mission Rd from the direction of gate 3 passed gate 2 and up around Johnsons Curve (the Hill) towards Gate 1.

2 persons, driver definitely male had on white sleeveless shirt - no helmet, passanger looked smaller in frame not positive of gender.

I was in a stopped position waiting to turn and these guys were driving sooooo fast that I heard them before I saw them.....it was lucky I decided not make my turn as they were going way faster than I expected and if I would have turned they would have hit me...it was totally insane how fast they were going.....my guess would be they were driving in excess of 55mph....

When they buzzed passed me I could not even turn my head fast enough to keep up with them...

.....no lights, or helmets....bloody idiots....

Scammers Or Worse--BOL

Report filed on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 17:04 :: Reports
Two males asking for money
Two separate, but probably related incidents, happened yesterday between 3 and 4 pm and were reported to SSP today:

--White Mule Rd. area--cau. male, 25, 5'7", stocky build, short brown hair, dressed very casually, walking door-to-door "selling magazines for his daughter's college scholarship." Person was sweating profusely and having difficulty keeping thoughts organized. Caller wondered if he was "on something." Person questioned resident as to whether she REALLY had someone on the phone she was carrying, and then asked "Do you have any money?" Caller was suspicious that this male could be "casing homes" for future break-in.


--Lakeside Drive--cau. male, age 18, 6'2", reddish-blonde hair, came into back yard where resident was working, told resident that front door was open "but I didn't go in." He then asked for a thousand dollar donation for a scholarship and stated he just moved here to live with his Grandmother, but was not able to give a name or location. He was offered yardwork for $10/hour and stated that was low pay and did not return later.


Two vehicles have been associated with these scammers: A silver SUV w/Florida tags; and a Red Olds Alero, probably w/WV tags.


At one home, ID was shown that indicated the person was representing "American Circulation Enterprises." ASK TO SEE A WV BUSINESS LICENSE--that is your only assurance you will get your magazines IF you decide to purchase anything. A complaint is in process with the Attorney General's Office.


If approached, use caution. Try to obtain ID, alert SSP and call 725-8484 to ask for Deputy to investigate and ID persons involved. If ID is checked, person will usually leave area since they know they can be tracked if a crime is committed. Keep doors locked to avoid walk-in surprises. Do NOT admit that you are home alone and do NOT allow anyone in your home.

Speeding and destruction of private road surface and design

Report filed on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 07:21 :: Reports
Speeding and destruction of private road surface and design
A person living in the community has been observed speeding down Ridge Crest.

The guy lives right on the corner of Ridge Crest and Lil Elk. Our main concern is that children walk back and forth from each of our homes and even though they do know to get out of the way when a car comes this guy speeds down the road they could never get over in time.

He has been asked to slow down by neighbors and we have even created lil speed bumps by dumping lots of gravel in one place but this last time when he had lots of friends flying in and out (saturday Night) he came and smoothed them out.

Congratulations Crosswinds ---

in

The intial meeting of the Crosswinds Neighborhood Watch program was held today. Congratulations on getting a program started. It takes a while to get some momentum going, don't give up. There are many good things/programs that a Neighborhood Watch Program can do for the community. Don't hesitate to contact me or any member of the Mountain Watch group for suggestions, help, or whatever.

Special Thanks Deputy Holz , ALL LE and SSP

I have seen a noticable police presence up here on The Mountain and would like to thank LE for making such an improvement in just being here and being seen.

Thank you to Deputy Holz for supporting Mountain Watch, and taking personal time out to attend and present at our meetings. Your support and that of all LE is extremely important to the success of all Neighborhood Watch programs in our county.

A special thanks to SSP who has continued year after year to keep the Shannondale area a safe place and has supported our program with knowledge and moral support. Thanks to Ron who has played a significant part in this website and helped me from the getgo.

Mission Rd - Vehicle Pass - Double Yellow Line

Report filed on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 - 11:28 :: Reports
Mission Rd - Vehicle Pass - Double Yellow Line

Mountain Watch Meeting Summary - 5/20

The topic of discussion was Drug Activity Recognition and how to assist police. Dep. Holz gave the presentation, as there was a last minute schedule change for Detective Bonifant. We wish to thank Dep. Holz for giving up part of his day off to make the presentation - this clearly shows his commitment to our cause.

There is always something to be learned at our meetings. Most importantly - how to improve our observation skills, what to report, when to report, and to whom to report.

There can be many signs/suspicions of drug activity. Increased traffic at a particular house - both vehicle and foot traffic, especially at strange hours; noxious odors coming from an area; finding drug paraphernalia; repeated observable exchanges of items, especially where money is visible, and houses/buildings where extreme security measures have been taken. These were a few of the items discussed.

scam?

Report filed on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 - 11:48 :: Reports
Be on alert -- possible scam
Around noon today (4/19) was walking in my yard, noticed a metallic blue/green Ford F150 pick up truck driving slowly down the hill on Blackberry. Truck drove past my driveway, stopped, backed up and then drove up my driveway. The driver had dark hair (did not walk close to the truck) and was probably 25-35 age range. He said "just following up to see if you're ready to have your driveway sealed". Advised him no, then he backed his truck down the driveway and left - leading toward Sylvan. Could not see tag to get number - drove up the driveway and backed down it. Too far for me to see when he got back on the road. There was also no sign of any kind on the truck.

Problem - have never seen this person before. He was never here to ask about sealing the driveway. He may or may not be reputable.

Fire Danger - Notification Signs

Smokey the Bear Smokey the Bear

Has anyone ever seen any fire danger or warning signs around the county anywhere...I am talking about the ones that you would normally see in a state park with 'smokey the bear' standing next to it...or the ones with the dial!

Would be cheap and very useful regarding fire danger status...since people seem to need a reminder that lighting mulch on windy days is not a good idea...

I believe we are still in an extreme fire risk status right now - but not a sign to be seen anywhere!

Maybe a Fire Chief could respond!

DISSEMINATION OF EMERGENCY INFORMATION

I know that this is a current topic throughout the county and is on everyones mind after yesterdays second fire incident...but seriously how should info be disseminated.

Last night SSP did an excellent job here on this board - I personally had a scanner so was well aware of what was being said...but seriously...what would be the best way to handle this? What would be the most realistic way of handling it?

How many people did you call last night to let them know something was going on?

Several sightings have been made by community residents of a yellow go-cart with an orange flag driving fast and wrecklessly on Mt Vista Trail. Winona Circle, MgGuire Circle and Ridge Crest.

One eye whitness identified the two boys driving the go- cart as residents of 59 Winona Circle.

While operating a go-cart does not fall under the Jefferson County ATV ordinance, trespassing, violatin of the JV noice ordinance, destruction to private property are all issues to be delt with.
