be welcome to another edition of the richmond police beat it's been about six weeks since we last spoke to each other course everybody knows the big news this time was we had another death in the hunting gorge on the twenty ninth of june fifty two year old female went in and we have determined that this is a suicide and we went back and checked the records since one thousand nine hundred fifty this is the twenty fifth deceased body that we've had to pull out of the thing gorge and three of those have been deemed to be suicides and when i did the press release i reiterated that it's a it's a nice place to go if you want to take photos but here again we asked that if you want to go swimming anywhere around the hunting gorge go above it where it's safe or go that way below say this from particular one was like i said a suicide but it really doesn't matter because most people that have been swept in there  it's an accidental death and the other problem we had is getting the rescue vehicles in there when initial call came in because people are not abiding by the signs there's no parking signs or basically states that you says you cannot park within the travel lanes of the highway anywhere whether it's posted or not and dugway road is really posted there are signs everywhere and yet they just they find themselves parking anywhere blocking traffic this detail  had both in richmond and huntington fire involved richmond rescue we also had culture ester technical rescue and still mountain rescue to do the body retrieval which took about three and a half hours to put the people down there get a line on and get the victim out of there but we're going to end up we do a lot of parking tickets and at this point if they continue to black road we're going to start telling them and a toll bills probably going to be about one hundred fifty dollars plus the parking ticket so if you can help us out past the word i don't know what else i can do you know publicize this every spring we talk about it all the time it's well posted but here again it became a problem in fact they had to bring the trucks around from the high into the side because they couldn't get through on cochran road side as it was too much traffic drugs couldn't get through there since we last spoke we've been fairly busy and we all survived the fourth of july it was a seventeen eighteen hour day but this year unlike last year when op about it you know storms to postpone it went pretty well there was a lot of people here we had no problems during the fourth of july other than usual getting the the traffic out at the end of the fireworks but i really appreciate the people that participated the people that showed up moms all day and all night watch the parade went to the tears green and then watched the fireworks everything was orderly said it was a nice quiet day for us other than the long hours since we last spoke the guys have been fairly busy as young male decided that he was going to do what he was told and start swearing and screaming at everybody with out so i had to domestic assaults that's where the and both of these cases the male and going to jail for the night and men  raigned the next day we seem to be getting more and more of those the warmer the weather the more the alcohol flowing the more domestic assaults we have and in vermont like most states now if we see any sign of physical injury that suspect is going straight to jail and there's no ifs ands or buts about it you know it's not going to give him a citation and and say we'll see in court a couple weeks say they did the paperwork the officers do the paperwork and they go straight to jail and then the judge sees them the next business day and sometimes if it's on a weekend that's two or three days away we had one l s a which is leaving the scene of an accident which is a motor vehicle offense but it's criminal you can go to jail for that one  vehicle rear ended another and he decided to not stop and the next day the officer tracked them down because luckily the woman was able get the plate number even though it was a borrowed vehicle the owner of the vehicle was able to do and if i was operating at the time we had four duis arrests three of those were alcohol one was a dui drugs problem what a dui drugs now is that the labs in this state don't test for that that's one of the things the legislators and one of the things you should be talking to legislators about we those are sent to pennsylvania in their three or four hundred dollars each to get the analysis done right now with the decriminalized decriminalizing of marijuana there's a lot more people out there operating under the influence of marijuana and there's no standards for it right now and the labs like i said this they don't don't process for test for that so we have to ship it all way to pennsylvania so one of the things that legislators need to work on they say they're going to work on it and come january but they listen better to the public than they do to the police officers that try to get this stuff done we had one careless negligent operation case that's also a motor vehicle offense that that is criminal in nature resisting arrest and we had arrest on a warrant arrested one guy on a parole violation want to rest up for bad checks people you can't just give out checks and then bounce and then when they try to get the money from you just ignore it doesn't go away they call us and then you get charged for a criminal  and then we had a reckless endangerment this was a follow up and i don't know if i talked about it before but we ended up charging five people would reckless endangerment with a firearm and unfortunately what happened is where this property is located years ago they used to be able to shoot from their backyard well now there's seven or eight new houses there one of those rounds went through the wall missed the person inside the house by two feet and bedded in a wall so they've all been charged we've already had a marine conditions or for four of them they cannot possess firearms they cannot fire fire arms and if they do any of that they're violating their conditions and they'll be charged with another crime we've also had about four more identity thefts and i know a lot of people don't look at their statements anymore because they rely on the banks of the financial companies to do a form and a lot of times the banks in the financial companies actually do catch this but what we're finding now and a lot of this is stemming from out of state two of them we contrac back to baltimore maryland area and two of them are coming out of the florida area somehow they get your on your debit cards they're getting your pin numbers and they have computer programs that just run programs and just run numbers and until they get a match name and number and then they just start spending it they this one one of the particular cases they went there for five different stores and in the florida a public supermarket which is kind of like our shaws in those type of things a sporting goods store in some other places and they're you know buying one hundred two hundred dollars hoping that the credit agencies don't catch it but they're pretty good about it now the agencies you banks in your financial institutions of if you don't have a history of going to florida or someplace like they're apt to call you and say john or jane doe here did you go to florida and buy these now but they don't always especially those that you may travel a lot are travel different places so it's very important that you check your paper statements if you get them which most people don't anymore or check your statements on line if you see something out on your statement that doesn't belong there call the financial institution if it's could be your credit card could be your debit card but they're actually doing this through a computer program and it's very hard for local state and for man to follow up on these like i said two of them were originated out of baltimore maryland maryland into him out of florida and oh yeah we did call the f b i and contacted them because it is a federal crime because across state lines we recently added a new full time officer graduated in the man matt naidu comes from us from waterbury where he lives with his wife and and child right now they're looking the relocate to this area sometime in the near future you won't miss matt when you see him out in the road he's six seven about two forty five so if you can't see him it's time to go see your eye doctor and get your eyes checked but he's going through what we call the field training officers program right now which is another three months after you get out of the cademy he's completed his post academy courses and probably in september he'll be out on the road on his own and will be working nights to start with we have a the web page the town web pages brand brought up and we have a link to it and there's a link to my email so if there's anything in that you want the police department or myself to know go to the town's web page go to the police department link and if you send in the comment sections there it's the web page automatically sends it to via e mail so i get it because it's not where i can check the web page every day but if you have some concern or suggestion or something like that get an e mail or you can always e mail me here one thing we're not always here because we don't have a full time in ministry of assistant so if you do call here it may be a time delay sometimes but all the cruisers have computers and we're pretty good about getting our stuff through the computer system in the car most places those work in town the cell signals in the are much better than they used to be and i'll get back to you if you have a concern or comment i think that's it for today
