On November 7, 2022, the Coldwater Police Department assisted Mercer Health with a male that was suicidal in their facility. The male was uncooperative and had run out of the hospital. Officers were able to catch the male after a short foot pursuit and take him into custody. During the incident, a Coldwater officer was injured and taken to the Mercer Health Emergency Room. The officer was treated and released.
The male, Brayan Adolfo Valazquez, was taken back to the hospital, medically cleared and then transported to the Mercer County Jail on charges of Obstructing Official Business and Resisting Arrest.
The incident has been sent to the Prosecutor's Office for a review of additional charges.
We want to remind the public that the drug drop box located in the lobby of the Coldwater Ohio Police Department is not a drop off location for syringes. As officers were emptying the drop box last weekend they located a gray shopping bag inside. As the officer picked up the bag he was stuck by a syringe that was uncapped and sticking out of the side of the bag. Our drop box clearly states what can be disposed of at the location. If you have any questions regarding an item, we will be happy to answer them.

The Police Department has received several complaints regarding golf carts lately. We want to remind you that golf carts can only be operated on streets that have a speed limit of 35 mph or less and not on any State Highway (Main and Second) except to cross at an intersection or to access the closest local street or alley.
They also can only be driven by someone that has a valid driver's license and all occupants must be seat belted at all times.
If there are any questions, we have a packet printed off with the restrictions at the Police Department.

Coldwater Officers along with help from the Celina Police Department Tactical Response Team conducted the search warrant and located a large amount of methamphetamine from inside of the residence.

The police department recently took a report of a female that was frauded out of $1,000. The female had received a message on her computer that it had been hacked and was provided a phone number for Microsoft. The female called the number that was provided and was advised to deposit money into a Bitcoin machine in Coldwater to fix the hack on her computer.
The female then realized this was possibly a scam. Contact was made with her bank and Bitcoin. It does not appear that money is going to be able to be recovered.
If you ever question a transaction, it doesn't hurt to contact your local law enforcement before to get advice.
Don’t forget to stop out and make a donation tomorrow from 8am to noon at any one of our 11 locations throughout Mercer County.
As a reminder – these sites are for collecting items to be donated to local food pantries. We are not handing out food at this event. Those needing assistance should contact their local food pantry.

The Coldwater Police Department was just advised about a scam involving the use of our phone number.
The caller advised that they worked for the Police Department and that we had a warrant for their arrest. They would then attempt to ask for personal information.
This is not how we handle warrants and the best course of action if you would receive a call like this is to hang up immediately.
Thank you Details by Phil.
On May 17, 2021, at around 10:30 pm, an officer attempted to stop a blue Chevy Cobalt after the driver of the Cobalt was witnessed running 2 stop signs and only had 1 headlight. The driver of the vehicle refused to stop and travelled north out of the Village after committing several more traffic violations.
After travelling on county roads, the driver entered the City of Celina for a short while, before continuing back onto county roads and state routes.
The driver eventually lost control of the vehicle around the intersection of Rockford West Rd and Stetler Rd and crashed into a telephone pole. The driver, Anthony TJ Gregory was arrested and transported to Mercer Health for injuries he received from the crash. Gregory was later booked into the Mercer County Jail.
The vehicle was towed from the scene and inventoried. Officers located a large amount of suspected methamphetamine located inside the vehicle.
Assisting was Celina Police Department, Rockford Police Department, Mercer County Sheriff's Office, Ohio State Highway Patrol, Indiana State Police, Rockford Squad and Chatt Fire Department.
What a nice surprise from our wonderful 1st graders at Coldwater Elementary Schools.

We will begin inspecting golf carts for the Village of Coldwater golf cart ordinance beginning Wednesday, August 26, 2020 beginning at 9 am. We ask that you call ahead to schedule an appointment and we will begin taking appointments beginning tomorrow for Wednesday.
Remember to bring all the paperwork you used to get it inspected for the BMV with you to the inspection. This inspection will be $20.
If you have never had your golf cart inspected before we ask that you stop at the Police Department and pickup an informational packet that will explain the requirements needed to have it inspected. This inspection will be $50.
Also note that the Village is requiring seatbelts to be installed. This is above and beyond what is required by the State of Ohio to get license plates. This is one of the reasons why the Village is requiring all golf carts driven on Village streets to be inspected by and receive a golf cart permit sticker from our department.

This week Details by Phil gave back to the men and women who sacrifice so much for our community. We donated a free Ceramic Windshield Coating to the Coldwater Police Department, EMS, and Fire Department. The coating was applied to each one of their vehicles. 11 in total.
This coating will provide increased safety and visibility. By creating a hydrophobic surface, water will easily be repelled during rainy conditions. This will dramatically improve visibilty and less need for your wipers. With current conditions, we want to make their jobs even easier. Details by Phil wants to thank each any every one of them for their service!
If you have interest in a windshield coating for your vehicle, feel free to contact us for more info.
