Remember, scanner traffic is not news until confirmed, and eye witness accounts are often unreliable.
Around 2 a.m., Minatare Fire got called out to a vehicle hitting a power pole. It was a DUI, and get this… a Red Chevy Avalanche! … but it wasn’t the Red Chevy Avalanche they were looking for with 39-…. plates.
Valley responded to a call at the Cigarette Chain on East Overland for an individual very intoxicated. He has fallen several times and is now injured. Treated and transported. Police seem to be familiar with the individual.
Beware of Prowlers!
Don’t be alarmed, just play it smart. Lock your doors and secure your outdoor property. A citizen recently reported someone suspicious walking into their driveway on 5th Avenue.
Another trusted member of the scanner community reminded us all of how many times she has warned people about strangers walking the neighborhood at night. This is serious business. Be smart.
Follow up on unconscious female suffered a seizure and was postictal when valley arrived on scene. Report given to ER, patient was still lethargic.
Fight in Progress Ridge Rd one person has a baseball bat.
Something going on behind Addison Avenue. Man in a ditch with injuries. A woman also. Possible more in the vehicle.
Partial trauma 25 year old male. Said he fell into a ditch. We thought we heard a car in the ditch with others in the vehicle. Was this a different call? This one may get some follow-up. We’ll pull the archives and relisten.
Gray Pitbull with green collar found on South Beltline West by the curve. Traffic later indicated they located the owner.
Possible theft from vending machines at Hotel 21. Suspect left in a white truck.
Possible disturbance on L Street. Several 911 calls coming through.
Verbal disturbance in Melbeta.
Possible trespass in Terrytown. Verbal dispute between mother and daughter.
Not sure which disturbance, but someone heard yelling, officer responded, and it was someone yelling at a video game they were playing.
Large backyard fire reported. Called in as intentionally started, with some added gasoline. (What was he thinking?) Minatare Fire responded. Fire was extinguished rapidly, but it sounds like the fella was not so cooperative with the first responders who just saved his property. Traffic indicated Minatare PD responded as backup.
Speaking of Minatare… look at this amazing photo sent into us by Koby Johnson! We are blessed to have such talent in the Valley.
