Question for the Sheriff's Office
Posted March 12th, 2008 by Dave_SSP15Since one-third of Jefferson County's population lives on The Mountain, what is being done to increase area patrolling by Sheriff's Deputies on a more regular basis? It seems that most LE presence up here is reactive rather than pro-active, and is done in response to incidents dispatched by Jefferson County Headquarters.

BRMVFD Fundraiser for President of Co 5
Posted August 6th, 2007 by mlkeuroglianThe President of BRMVFC is going through some very rough times which started with an injury he received while responding to a grease fire at a home in our community. He has been hospitalized numerous times, and is unable to work due to the resulting medical problems.
Would this community be willing to do a benefit for him? We are having a "FREE MOVIE NIGHT" at the MCC, on Friday the 10th 8:00 p.m.
Gang Awareness Seminar
Posted July 24th, 2007 by RonTwo SSP Responders, Dave and Sid, attended the seminar on gangs at the new Immigration and Customs Training Center last night. The seminar was taught by Sheriff Boober, JCSD.
The bottom line is that "gangs" (defined as any three or more individuals sharing a unique name or having identifiable marks or symbols, congregating on a regular basis, having an identifiable hierarchy and engaging in antisocial, unlawful or criminal activity) are here but there is little evidence that there is harm in the community so far, only potential for the worst elements to develop.
Shattered SUV window
The back window of an SUV parked in a driveway was shattered sometime between the evening of July 3 and morning of July 4. Nothing appeared to have been taken.
Property theft
Sometime over the past few days/nights, someone came onto the property and took two full plastic gasoline containers, red in color from next to my door. One was a 5 gallon can and the other was a two gallon can.
Break-in, Summertime Lane
New owner reported forcible entry to unoccupied home on Summertime Lane, probably overnight.
Extensive Vandalism-Gate 1 Area Shannondale
Vandals destroyed property at the homes of multiple residents last night/early this morning in the Gate 1 area. Reports started coming in before 7am this morning and are continuing several hours later.
Black, red and white spray paint was used to damage homes, fences and vehicles in a fairly limited area of Redbird, Pheasant, Wildrose and Bluebird suggesting the young criminals were walking.
Some primitive attempts at gang-type graffiti were noted and recorded for future reference.
It appears likely at this time that the pseudo "gang members" are local children who escaped the supervision of their parents for the night.
Area residents: Please email descriptions of youngsters seen walking or "hanging out" in the area last night and very early this morning. Let's put a stop to this quickly.
ATVs and dirt bikes on Rolling Ln
Numerous ATVs and dirt bikes going up and down Rolling Ln, many of the same ones multiple times, from morning to dusk - significant increase in activity lately. Most exceed speed limit, often dramatically (estimate up to 50 mph), and kick up thick dust and/or gravel. Most drivers seen today (a weekday) appear to be teens, but often see younger one, especially on the weekends, and sometimes adults. From noon to 2 pm today, ATVs and/or dirt bikes went by every 5-10 minutes.
One dirt bike is red with no license; driver is white teen. Another is a black Honda ATV - driver is white teen, didn't see license. They ride both separately and together.
Reckless Driving
At 5:20 this evening as I was going up Shannondale Road and just about to cross over JohnnyCake, a young male in a turquoise color, late model, midsize car, ran the stop sign and made a wide turn to go onto Shannondale and we nearly collided.
I did't get the make of the car, but the driver was 18-20 years old, medium build, short dark hair, some facial hair.
Reckless Teens on Dirtbikes
While clearing a drainage ditch on Rolling Lane, two males on red dirt motorcycles came flying north toward me at 50mph+. I motioned for them to slow down and they did slow to about 35mph. As soon as they passed me, they gunned their engines and splattered gravel in my face while cutting a groove in the road surface for at least half a block.
Description of these two scofflaws (red dirt bikes and red/white helmets) matches the two attempting to break into the homes on Thrush Lane a few days ago. Both males appeared to be in the 15-16 year old age range. Neither vehicle was licensed.
Theft from Foodway (Old Weber's Store)
Clerk was busy ringing up customer purchases. Thief entered store, grabbed 30-pack of Budweiser beer and ran out of store. Clerk gave foot chase, and was able to obtain vehicle description and tag number: 2-door white "sports car", tag number: WV-9HU376.
Meth lab shut down after raid
From an article in The Journal:
Police busted and shut down a working methamphetamine lab in this rural Jefferson County community Thursday morning.
Bobby Earl Rosamond, 43, was arrested in connection with an ongoing investigation into a conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, according to Cpl. Tracey Edwards, a detective with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.
Rosamond was arrested at 65 Dillow Road in Shannondale during the execution of the first of two related search warrants Thursday, Edwards said.
The second location police searched was 80 White Cedar Hill Lane. That search yielded a cache of stolen weapons but no arrests, according to Edwards.
Edwards said the operation began about 7:45 a.m. Thursday, and though the investigation was initiated by the Jefferson County Sherrifs Department, several agencies participated in the raid.
The Drug Enforcement Agency; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Ranson Police Department; Charles Town Police Department and the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department Crime Scene Unit all assisted in the investigation, Edwards said.
"It was a cooperative effort by all agencies. ... Everything went smoothly and no one was hurt," she said.
A hazardous materials response team based near Pittsburgh also responded to clean up the meth lab. Edwards said by Thursday afternoon all the noxious chemicals were removed and the site was safe.
Rosamond is being held in Eastern Regional Jail on felony drug charges as of Thursday evening. The case remains under investigation, and the specific charges were unavailable by presstime.

Boat Stolen from Lake
A part-time resident reported that his boat was stolen from his home on the Shannondale Lake, located near the spillway.
The boat is silver-colored with a flat bottom. Also stolen was an electric motor and a Walmart branded battery.
The theft could have happened anytime over the past couple of weeks.
Someone messing around outside at night
On Tuesday night we heard quite a loud noise out our bedroom window. It sounded like someone tried to get into the shed. My husband and I both went out to investigate and didn't see anything but we heard noises in the woods across from our property. We probably spoiled whatever they were going to do.

Break-in, Gate 4 area
A resident returned home to find that their garage had been broken into and a miter saw had been stolen. Location: 1500 block of Shenandoah River Drive.

Attempted Break-in
On Saturday, April 28 at approx. 3pm, two males were interrupted in their attempt to enter two homes on Thrush Lane in Shannondale. They fled the scene when a house alarm sounded and neighbors approached the area.
The would-be criminals were both driving red dirt type motorcycles and wearing red and white helmets. They fled the scene just before LE and SSP arrived.
Two substantial tips have been received regarding identity, and additional verification is being requested to enable LE to take action.
Anonymous tips can be sent via the "Contact" tab on the top right-hand corner of this page, or you may email SSP directly at SSP@frontiernet.net. Your name WILL NOT be used if you request to remain anonymous. Thank you.
Nat Hughes, Jefferson County DHS Volunteer of the Year
Posted April 17th, 2007 by ArtApril 17, 2007
Nat Hughes - Chief of the Shannondale Patrol - was honored as the Jefferson County Department of Homeland Security Volunteer of the Year today at the National Conservation Training Center.
Nat receiving the award from Barbara Miller, Director of the Jefferson County Department of Homeland Security
From the nomination letter:
Nat has been Chief of the Shannondale Safety Patrol for the last 11 of the Patrol's 45 years and an active member for the past 20 years. He embodies the spirit of volunteerism, attention to neighborhood security and selfless contribution of time and financial support that make possible doing-more-with-less (or with virtually nothing). Homeland security in Nat's definition is not a service provided to him but one that he provides to others. Even now in his eighth decade he actively responds to security and safety calls on a 24-7 basis. Nat and his wife Diana, as is true for all members of the Patrol, serve without pay or recognition and solely from dedication to the welfare of the residents of his community and the County.Congratulations to Nat on this well deserved recognition! Nat is also one of the first and strongest supporters of Watch Jefferson County. Thank you Nat!"Nat spends 40+ hours a week on vehicular patrol, call response, safety education and intelligence gathering activities for the Shannondale Safety Patrol."Shannondale has over 70 miles of road and 1600+ families. It is a rugged area, irregularly laid out and posing a formidable navigation challenge for residents and visitors as well as annual threats of isolation for residents in bad weather situations. Until the advent of the countywide E-911 system few could find their way easily in Shannondale and it still remains difficult. It is in this setting that Nat and the other members of his Patrol frequently make all the difference in getting timely help to elderly, infirmed, injured, assaulted or otherwise threatened citizens who need assistance. This is especially true for emergency responders and Law Enforcement with whom the Patrol works closely. Nat spends 40+ hours a week on vehicular patrol, call response, safety education and intelligence gathering activities for the Shannondale Safety Patrol. He actively recruits quality members for and coordinates activities of the Patrol and solicits information from residents about safety/security problems that may not otherwise have been reported to state or county agencies. He maintains liaison with State and County Law Enforcement including some remarkable efforts to provide assistance to other areas in the County. He continuously monitors emergency radio communication and assists Law Enforcement when requested for surveillance and information about activity in the community. All of this is without compensation and at his personal expense. We believe this record of contribution and Nat's continuing personal gift to neighbors and the County merit recognition by this year's Volunteer of the Year Award. The Shannondale Safety Patrol could not continue without members who see the needs of their community and respond with time, effort, personal funding and imagination. Nat is THE outstanding and inspiring example of these principles.
Congrats - Nat Hughes - Volunteer of the Year Award
Posted April 17th, 2007 by nwatch1Nat of the SSP has been awarded Volunteer of the Year.
Thank you Nat for all you have done.

Possible Casing Activity
Apr 9 2007 - 9:00am
Over the Easter weekend I noticed several times a beige car with two young men driving aimlessly around the Keyes Ferry and Wide River Farms area. At one point they were stopped for no apparent reason at the corner of Laurel and Keyes Ferry Road. The driver was a white male wearing a ski cap.
Any one with a plate number or additional descriptors, please feel free to add the info in a comment. Thanks.
Car Burglary
During the evening of Thursday March 15th, someone entered our unlocked vehicle in our driveway and rummaged through everything. There was nothing of real value in there and the only things we have determined are missing are a few childrens songs/nursery rhymes CD's.
They did make quite a mess and left the doors open, causing the battery to discharge. Our other vehicles were locked and not entered. This occurred during a heavy rain storm and late in the evening. Location: Approximately 1 mile From Lower Clubhouse Rd. and Mission Rd., just off of Lower Clubhouse and Huckleberry.
Dangerous Driver
After turning on to Lakeside Drive from Gingerbread Lane and heading toward Gate 3 over the dam, a Shannondale Safety Patrol Responder's vehicle was rapidly approached from the rear by a red sedan with a white, male driver.
The driver began tailgating dangerously close to the Responder's rear bumper, and exhibited highly aggressive behavior, obviously wanting to speed around. This recklessness continued all the way to the mailboxes at Gate 3. When the Responder pulled in to the mailbox area, the driver quickly accelerated and passed, nearly sideswiping the writer's vehicle.
The Responder pulled out to follow the driver in order to get a plate #, but the driver ran the stop sign, turned left onto Mission Road, and proceeded to race South at a high rate of speed. While approaching old Weber's store, it was observed that the driver had pulled into the parking lot, exited the vehicle with the engine still running and had entered the store.
When the Responder pulled into the parking lot, the driver spotted him, ran out of the store, jumped into his vehicle and raced out onto Mission Road heading South toward John Brown's Farm.
The Responder did not attempt to follow, but did get a good look at the offender, and confirmed that there was no registration visible on the vehicle. This reckless driver has got to be stopped before he kills someone!
Identity details are listed in "Private Details" for LE use.
Possible casing of homes, Gate 2
For some time I've had suspicions someone has been testing my doors when I am not home.
Today, in the snow, there were obvious footprints of someone who circled my house and went up to the doors. I took photos, but not sure my cheap disposable camera captured the images.
The footprints seem small, like a young boy or teenager.
Stabbing Incident
In the 700 block of Hickory Nut Lane, Westridge Hills, a young male was stabbed twice while trying to gain entry into a home during a domestic related conflict over a girlfriend.
The homeowner was taken into custody after the incident was investigated.

Reckless Driver
I was driving towards Mission Road from Gate 4/Shenandoah River Drive approx. 7:00am this morning. Witnessed a red Dodge Neon almost run the stop at Gate 3 drive. Female driver pulled out behind me and proceeded to tailgate me down the hill in icy conditions. Female driver finally passed me on the solid yellow line on the slight hill and before the curve by the storage sheds. This is a blind spot and had something been coming up the hill, she would have hit them head-on. It was daylight, so oncoming headlights could not be seen.

Resident on Gate 5 Road, Shannondale, reported that a shed had been broken into and power tools stolen.
Freezing Dogs and Animal Cruelty
Posted February 15th, 2007 by PfeifcatTo the person that brought this up in another forum topic,
Thank you for your concern for the many dogs (and other pets) that are left outside to fend for themselves during this deadly cold spell upon us. I have a neighbor that is keeping four fully grown puppies in a small fenced-in cage with a doghouse so small none of them can stand up in it. These dogs are not treated as pets, because they are never let out of the cage, are penned up in the elements 24 hours a day, bark constantly at any human that they see (in hopes that someone will pay attention to them, I suppose), live in their own filth/urine/feces, and I doubt have any un-frozen water to drink from. I don’t know how these poor animals have survived so far, but I had to do something about it. I tried calling Animal Control, but was told they only handle dangerous animal and nuisance calls. I would have to contact the county “Humane Officer” at the Jefferson County’s Sheriff’s office. So, I did and was told nothing would be done unless I personally filled out a complaint report at the Sheriff’s office. So, I did and was further told that the Humane Officer position is actually a responsibility that is shared and rotated around among the Deputies and occasionally someone back over at Animal Control. They said that as long as the dogs have a dog house for shelter and are fed and given water regularly, there really is nothing they can do, legal-wise. But, since I filled out a complaint report, someone would be by in a day or two, to check on the condition of the dogs and their environment. Once I hear back from the Sheriff’s Dept., I will let you know what happens. Regardless, there ought to be some laws on the books that protect the animals from the cruelty of neglect and confinement to dangerous and unhealthy environments.
SIG 16, BRA
Homeowner arrived home and found the back door kicked-in and several items missing. Home is located in the 300 block of Dey Drive, Blue Ridge Acres.

Shannondale-Large Black Dog
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.

Theft of Beer from 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.
Anonymous info may be sent by clicking on the "Contact" tab at the top of this page. THANKS.
Break-in on Old Bridge Ct.
Scanner reported a break-in at an apartment on Old Bridge Court between Lakeside and Moonshine Roads. Apparently, the crime happened overnight and was noted when the owner checked the property around 10 a.m.
State Police handled the call. No other info available.
UPDATE: SSP Chief spoke with owner and learned the apt was vacant. Nothing was stolen.
Gun shots
I was on my deck because it was so warm and heard gun shots at 5 to 10 minute intervals South and West of my home. I thought that they might be coming from a large grassy area where a new home is being built at J.B.Farm Rd. and Echo Valley Lane. I drove down to that corner with my lights off, thinking I might see the fire from the gun, but I saw nothing. The shooting stopped until I was home again. Then, there was some rustling in the trees to the East North East of the house and the motion lights came on. That was scary. there were a few more shots after that but not near the house - rather they were coming from the area to the South/west where I heard them before. Someone hunting deer in the full moon light? I noticed a primitive tree stand in the woods/brush at the edge of the field where the new house is. (West edge)
