welcome to another edition of the richmond police beat today we're going to talk about some incidents that happen it's been actually fairly busy the last few weeks or since the last time we talked one of the things that the guys have been dealing with is we've had  four death investigations in for a short period of time that's that's quite a few for us we had assisted the vermont state police back on march twenty sixth where corporal hansell was called to address just over the line in huntington unfortunately he found the fifty year old male had committed suicide by hanging himself and took photographs of the scene assisted the state police until they showed up we also had untimely which is something we have to investigate if people realize if there's a death even if they're elderly people if that's not what they consider a death under the medical care then we have to do investigation we had a couple of those we had one in march twenty six we had another one and what an eighty six year old female that passed away but those deaths turned out to be you know natural and causes and then we actually had another suicide that we had investigate a fifty one year old male decided to take his life with a black powder shotgun we worked with the state's attorney's office the medical examiner's office myself the officer green know where the e just to make sure that there was nothing suspicious and it has been ruled a suicide by far one of the other big things that we've had back on i mean just look to my notes here april seventeenth over the evening so the evening of april sixteenth and seventeenth we took thirteen cases of cars that had stuff stolen out of them or property that was at least looked at that's thirteen cases smashed it left his checkbook and his wallet which contained four hundred fifty dollars in cash sitting on the center console in plain view that when they smashed the window and they took a look at stuff along with his bank card take your stuff out of it another one that was right next to it was an unlocked vehicle the gentleman had a twelve gauge shotgun and one hundred rounds of ammunition both slug ammunition and birdshot ammunition that was taken with it that gun is probably on its way if not already in new york city years springfield holyoke mass being traded for cash or or drugs that's the big thing that's big market a gun that you and i may buy here for five or six hundred dollars a legal gun on the black market train for drugs or selling it on the streets down there to criminals that gun will probably go for anywhere from fifteen to twenty five  and they would get you know the stock taken off pistol grip the barrel cut down and probably end up being used in an arm robbery somewhere in the new england area but here again you have to take the stuff some of the vehicles  we were just rummaged through but you know one lady had all her she's a professional cleaner she had like a six seven hundred dollar vacuum cleaner shot back these special mops they look like a very special swiffer sweeper to me but they were two hundred dollars apiece they're professional grade they were in the back of her vehicle which was unlocked so they just walked up to it we think most of these happened between probably around one am to three am in the morning because the one car that actually broke the window on a car alarm went off but the people that heard it didn't think anything of it were it was on jericho road break here by main street and they just assumed it was a truck backing up it one thirty in the morning it was and it was the car alarm actually going off so most of these happened in jericho road hidden pine circle in a couple over in the trailer park but it seems they just made a loop around it and find circle down jericho road and trailer park or reverse their route and they were looking for easy target stuff that had stuff that they could see one other vehicle that you try to get into had a lot of metal products but they were unable to pry the pins are there were a window that was parked right up next to the trailer so they i'm assuming they want to make noise and they tried to pry the window out by removing the pins and they just going to get the pins out but you know that caused damage to the vehicle so you're not going to lock your vehicle take your valuables out of it some people have this philosophy that you know if they lock their vehicle than it's going to cost them in damage which may be true but if you're not going to lock the vehicle and take the stuff out of it back on april eighth we had a burglary at the all of you know where the old probably the where the willis property is which is on a renovation on west main street this side of the mobil station is the big old farm in that they took copper piping copper tubing brass fix everything that was i mean they cut the stuff out the company that sort of renovating the place that you know if they had to replace all that it would be ten thousand dollars are still in the move went to the first obvious place he went to  all metals recycling who buys all this stuff and after three or four day investigation we were able to recover some of the actual fixtures and that are hundred years old bring him back to the site match him up right where they want to take photographs of the very long high powered extension cord they were using the power of the house up so it's not your average garden variety you know power cut we were able to identify that because they didn't take the end piece so we could actually match the cut along with the caulking on it the good thing about last year when they changed the law that these recycling centers you  i buy this property have to get photo i d s and identify the seller we were able to take one person into custody and that person has been charged with burglary possession and sale of stolen property which with because of the amount or both felonies we know that he had a second suspect involved but we just don't have enough probable cause to to charge that second male these two particular ones one of them is forty eight years old when i was a trooper and we're talking twenty five thirty years ago i was dealing with him as a teenager so this is not a heroin addiction problem this is just a career criminal that makes his living stealing from other people i've been doing it for thirty plus years now we also had ten erast that was interesting and we're get back to the heroin a little bit we had a tip that a woman that was wanted out of stated new york on probation and parole violations times three was staying here an apartment in town right by the four corners we were smart enough to get a photograph of her before we went over there went over it was interesting and knocked on the door said are you so and so first i am no and i just look at the picture held up so yeah you are and then she tried to slam the door in her face out that didn't work she was taken into custody we did all the paperwork is a fugitive from justice brought her down t court house and they held her and twenty five thousand dollars bail because we contacted the new york probation and parole they wanted her back she was a three time convicted heroin user in dealer and was on it on three of parole violations they gladly came back and picked her up when she waived their extradition back to the state of new york but in this last cup being a few weeks we've had you know ten arrests they range everything from our domestic assaults disorderly conduct we've been the one particular house in town probably in the last six weeks we've been there i say six or seven times here it's  alcohol addiction problem last week we went there back to back nights and we're not talking a one o'clock in the morning we're talking seven thirty eight o'clock at night on the second and the first night we took they no longer take him to act one they would take him straight to jail he was a point two six zero so the legal limit of intoxication is point zero eight percent like i said he was a point two six zero the following night we were right back there this time we decided to block neighbors from leaving the road which in state of vermont is disorderly conduct when you obstruct vehicular traffic so we actually charged him with that i happen to be in court friday talked to one of the caseworkers down there and told them you know this guy is escalating and we're dealing with him constantly now they have put him and nursing him up for an alcohol rehabilitation because we were actually able to charge him with a crime the disorderly conduct which is a misdemeanor crime is that just you know constantly taken to jail the sober up under intoxicated person they can hold that over is had we're hoping now that this gentleman will get his treatment he's of the age now where i know that if he continues to drink his doctor told him you know his liver is going to continue to drink he's just going to drink himself to death and will end up to another death investigation so you know we've had that we've had bad checks we've had it's people in the court for that because they you know one was one case i handle was a five hundred dollars check that was written for getting heating fuel back in february and she knew she didn't have the money and didn't pay attention to the notices sent or in the mail and eventually you know when i caught up to her at a charger would bad checks insufficient funds i would recommend that one to go to court emergency got no prior records and unfortunately right now she's not working because she's on disability but you know that's kind of some of the things that we've been dealing of picked up starting today or tomorrow will be put in the traffic car that we're already getting complaints about excessive speed on the town roads so starting this week it will be out in the village and then we just move it around it or run seventy eight written warnings so we were almost you know fifty fifty between written warnings and traffic tickets a lot of the warnings were getting people i got to remind you that if you have a blue for inspection sticker and there's a lot of them still out there they're expired they were due march and april is now mad we've been writing some of those if there's nothing wrong with the vehicle we've been generally writing a warning give you five days ago get it inspected if there's something wrong with the vehicle and won't pass inspection we've been actually writing the violations within the first fourteen days of the vehicle inspection being overdue the fine is forty seven dollars if it's more than fourteen days overdue the flying it was one hundred five dollars we've also had some issues with parking complaints we've actually written seven parking tickets normally we don't get many this time of year but  with you know construction going on at the parking ride people are parking where they shouldn't they're leaving vehicles beyond their time limits hopefully i talked to the the job site foreman at the park and ride they plan on being there in the next two to three weeks so hopefully that problem will be eliminated and it's still going to be an issue they could added fifty more parking spots in that parking right and probably still be false so you know sometimes there's just not a place you can park and we are very strict we will be writing the parking tickets in the handicapped parking spot and you don't have a handicap placard you're going to get a parking ticket if you're in one of the areas it says no parking here and it's got an arrow from this point over to the left or right you're going to get a parking ticket we actually had to go there the other day because the whole front row could be access because everybody decided to block the access one park where they shouldn't the next one parked where they should next so that pretty soon you have five vehicles and nobody could access the front of that parking lot which is closest to route two because dollars to get your car back so just to bay the signs we have the some of the same issues down the deep ocean where you know a few that some of the spots are twenty four hour parking but some of them aren't and if you're there you know think you can leave your car there for three or four days in one of the nine twenty four hour spots it's probably going to at least get a twenty five dollars parking ticket and maybe towed also had and i'll talk about it briefly we had and it is turkey season but we had an incident in town where somebody had decided to be target shooting where they used to do it all the time unfortunately right now where they used to do it all the time there's now seven or eight new houses either occupied or under construction and that area we had a contractor's wife being being in the house on the second floor she was painting when she heard got what she thought was a bullet well luckily at mr by two feet and the case is actually going to be sent down to see if the other four people that were involved should be charged with reckless and even because they all admit shooting and nish that also targets out stuff like that the truth of the matter is they never had a target out they were just shooting where they wanted issue which borders the interstate wars a new housing development which is very unsafe and also there's alcohol involved and when you get those combinations it becomes a danger that you know other people in this case you know this woman is lucky that mr by two feet so hopefully this is address the situation and if not w continue to charge people that you know use firearms and know i mean do regard for safety and just because you did it fifteen twenty years ago you may not be able to do in that area anymore with the changing environment you know new houses going in sometimes even new roads going in and you can't use that place safely anymore if you really want to say place become a member of the fish and game club as some do we structure this year for time in days you can use it  you actually have the range gated but it's like thirty five dollars for a year and you can go up there and shoot and and be safe and they get into big berms and and shooting buildings going  minimize the noise so anybody ever has any questions our number here is four three four two one five six if it's not emergency number if it's emergency number call nine one one we dispatch or get dispatched to the vermont state police it will go to the vermont state police and they will call us we're not always in the office so nine one one is just debt that's for emergencies that's not the call that ask you know how the road conditions are how the skiing conditions are it's urgencies the dispatchers you know a lot of calls on nine one one that are not emergencies probably about a third of the calls they get on nine one one are not ever sees it just flies up the line anybody who's ever tried to call nine one one and get in the busy signal it does happen doesn't happen very often but it does happen because people are using that kind of like the five one one and two one one as their personal information it is an
