I neglected to report it in July but last month yours truly had a not-so-typical visitor run though my yard. A decent-sized black bear decided to grab a snack from our trash can and then climb up into a neighbor’s big oak tree! One of our cameras caught him scurrying through our side yard. He was trapped a day or so later and safely relocated.
Home security cameras play an important part in deterring and solving criminal activity. So, if you do have cameras and some activity is reported by one of our residents, please check to see if you can help with any video evidence.
Our normal security report is not as exciting as a bear but still a bit interesting.
On August 8 Deputy Flores observed a suspicious vehicle parked in the rear parking lot blacked out at 6200 Whiskey Creek Drive. He stepped out with both occupants in the vehicle and ran them on the LCSO database, resulting in both subjects being clear. DFC Flores ordered the subjects leave the community immediately. This action may have prevented a crime.
On August 9 Detective Deak issued four warnings, two regular citations, and two criminal citations. He was busy!
This month several of the deputies exited their car and patrolled on foot, especially around the country club.
I report each month that one of the deputies sits along Whiskey Creek Drive with the cruiser’s lights on. That is usually Deputy Raymond Tellez Ferriol. So, if you see a car with the lights flashing, stop and tell him hi by his name. That will surprise him.
On August 26 I noticed an LCSO car by the bridge, so I pulled up and introduced myself and thanked Deputy J. Zavacky for his service. I could tell it made his day.
