Officer Giltz responded to a lookout on a speeding truck coming into the city on Highway 22 with one headlight out. Giltz observed the vehicle pass another vehicle on a double yellow line while also traveling 68 mph in a 45-mph zone, and he initiated a traffic stop. The driver showed signs of intoxication and tested positive for alcohol on Sgt. Simpson’s Alco-sensor. Simpson then performed a field sobriety test that the offender failed. Giltz placed the offender under arrest and transported him to the sheriff’s office, where he gave a reading of .084 grams and was charged with speeding, DUI, and DUI – less safe.

A complainant met with Captain Sweet regarding possible forgery and theft. The complainant said she went to the bank and noticed her account balance was much lower than it should be. The complainant retrieved copies of two checks written on her account and discovered that someone had forged both documents. The bank was contacted and notified that Sweet was investigating the situation. The complainant was able to retrieve the original checks from her checkbook that corresponded with the check numbers on the forgeries. It appeared the offender had obtained the complainant’s check number and printed fake checks.

Officer Giltz was dispatched to West Clinton Street in reference to a gasoline drive-off. A description of the vehicle in question was obtained, but the officer had no contact with the vehicle en route to the station. The complainant said that the offender pumped $15 worth of fuel and left without paying. The complainant knew the identity of the offender and believed that the drive-off was unintentional. The officer would later attempt to contact the offender.
