**Recap of Police Activity During the Past Several Days**

It's been a while since we posted a recap of police activity...so here's a look back at the past few days.

On Wednesday night, an officer stopped a vehicle for an equipment violation and learned the driver had a felony arrest warrant with the Cleveland PD. The driver was arrested and later turned over to CPD.

On Thursday morning, officers were dispatched to a domestic disturbance. After investigating the matter, an adult male was arrested for felonious assault and several counts of domestic violence. He was held in jail, arraigned and later transported to the Lake County Jail.

Later that day, an officer stopped a vehicle for not displaying a license plate. The driver was found to not have a license and the passenger had an open container of alcohol. Both individuals received citations and the vehicle was impounded.

That afternoon, an officer stopped a vehicle for driving with license plates that expired over 6 months ago. The driver was found to not have a valid license and had an active arrest warrant with the Willoughby Hills PD. The vehicle was impounded, and the male was arrested, issued citations and later turned over to WHPD.

On Thursday evening, officers were dispatched to a report of an active domestic violence incident. After investigating the matter, an adult male was arrested and charged with Domestic Violence, Resisting Arrest, and Obstructing Official Business. He was held in jail pending his arraignment.

On Friday morning, an officer stopped a vehicle after being alerted to a possible warrant for their arrest. After investigation, the driver of the vehicle was found to have an active felony warrant for their arrest with the Lake County Sheriff's Office. The male was arrested and later turned over the the LCSO.

On Saturday afternoon, an officer stopped a vehicle for a stop sign violation. The driver was found to not have a valid license and a passenger was later found to be in possession of a baggie of suspected crack co***ne. The vehicle was impounded, driver issued citations, and the passenger was arrested for Drug Possession.

On Saturday evening, an officer stopped and spoke with a disoriented motorist who appeared lost. After investigating the matter, the officer learned the driver was entered missing and was likely dealing with a cognitive issue. The officer assisted in reuniting the driver with family members and returning the vehicle.

Later that evening, officers were dispatched to a business in a neighboring agency to assist with a possible shooting incident. Multiple officers responded and provided assistance until they were no longer needed.

In the early morning hours of Sunday, an officer observed a vehicle weaving and driving outside of the marked lanes on Euclid Ave. The officer stopped the vehicle and observed indicators that the driver was intoxicated. After investigating the matter, the driver was arrested for OVI and was later found to have almost three times the prohibited level of alcohol in his system.

About an hour later, another officer observed a vehicle drive off the roadway and over the curb on Euclid Ave. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle which continued driving away, ignoring the emergency lights and siren, before pulling into a business parking lot. The driver then exited the vehicle and refused to comply with commands given to him by the officer. The driver then began to walk away from the officer who attempted to stop him. The driver physically resisted the officer who was able to hold the male down and control him until additional officers arrived and handcuffed him. The male was found to be intoxicated and was arrested for OVI, Resisting Arrest, and Fleeing/Eluding. He was held in the jail pending arraignment and was later found to have more than two times the prohibited level of alcohol in his system.

On Sunday afternoon, officers were dispatched to a domestic disturbance between roommates. After investigating the matter, an adult female was arrested for Menacing, Obstructing Official Business, and Resisting Arrest.

On Sunday evening, officers were dispatched to a domestic disturbance between family members. After investigation, an adult male was arrested for Domestic Violence.

Lastly, on Sunday night, officers were dispatched to a different business in a different neighboring agency for a report of a shooting incident. Multiple officers responded and provided assistance until they were no longer needed.

In addition to the above, officers also took additional reports and mediated various situations and calls-for-service which did not require an arrest be made. We hope this synopsis of the past several days keeps you informed as to the activity of your police department.
