It was a typical month for our Lee County Sheriff’s Office patrols in our community with numerous warnings but with one notable exception.
On September 20 Detective Deak issued two traffic warnings and one alarm call for service. On the 15th at 2:46 p.m., this same detective was approached by an autistic male and after some time he was safely relocated. The detective’s presence in the community may have easily saved an endangered male from being missing. This call lasted the rest of his shift where he parked in visible locations completing paperwork for the call.
All the deputies move throughout Whiskey Creek from McGregor to College Parkway to deter speeders and those that are cutting through our community and do not stop at our four-way stops on Whiskey Creek Drive.
As I have mentioned before, I will occasionally stop and speak with the deputies and thank them for being so visible. I had an old parking ticket receipt that I had paid online and had held on to it in case it ever came up if I was ever stopped and had my driver’s license checked. So, I was speaking with Detective Deak and thought I would have him run my driver’s license just to make sure it was paid. I was clear (thankfully), but he did notice I had a stop sign warning here in Whiskey Creek years ago! He also checked Michelle’s as well. She was good too.
So, if you would like to stop and chat with a deputy, I am sure they would not mind checking your driver’s license to make sure you do not have something that you might not be aware of.
As Halloween is Friday, October 31 and Whiskey Creek is an extremely popular “Trick or Treating” neighborhood, please be careful if you are out walking with your kids or driving through the neighborhood.
