A routine traffic stop on Halloween led to the arrest of a man in possession of cocaine, according to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies stopped a driver on S.R. 248 on Saturday who was traveling over the posted speed limit and discovered the driver had an active arrest warrant from another law enforcement agency. Law enforcement searched the man’s wallet before the arrest and found “user amounts” of cocaine inside, according to shift reports. Deputies transported the man to the Summit County Jail and impounded his car. The Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple other incidents between Monday, Oct. 19, and Sunday, Nov. 1, including retail theft, impaired driving and a stolen car. Sunday, Nov. 1 Summit County Dispatch asked deputies to investigate a reported intoxicated man in the Coalville area. They found the man on private property and noted he showed “obvious signs of impairment.” He was arrested for driving under the influence, and a passenger with active arrest warrants was also arrested. The man’s car was impounded. Saturday, Oct. 31 Deputies followed up on and arrested an individual connected to a retail theft earlier in the week. Friday, Oct. 30 Deputies stopped a driver in Silver Creek, and a K-9 officer alerted deputies to the presence of narcotics. They searched the car and found drug paraphernalia associated with methamphetamine. The driver was booked into jail. Deputies responded to an accident with injuries in the Kimball Junction area. The driver smelled strongly of alcohol and showed signs of “extreme impairment.” The driver could not stand to participate in a field sobriety test and was transported to the hospital. Deputies arrested him after he was medically cleared and booked him into the Summit County Jail. Thursday, Oct. 29 Deputies stopped a driver on eastbound Interstate 80 after they observed an equipment violation. The driver had a revoked license and was required to have an ignition interlock device, which was not installed in the car. Deputies also found a controlled substance in the driver’s possession. They arrested the driver on multiple charges. Wednesday, Oct. 28 Deputies responded to a Kimball Junction business after management reported a theft. They identified a suspect and retrieved the stolen items. The case has been forwarded to the Summit County Attorney’s Office to evaluate criminal charges. Saturday, Oct. 24 Deputies located a car in Kimball Junction that matched vehicle descriptions associated with recent thefts, traffic complaints and a hit-and-run incident. Deputies stopped the driver, who showed signs of impairment. They arrested the driver on multiple offenses after a DUI investigation. A retail store in Kimball Junction contacted the Sheriff’s Office and said management had detained a theft suspect. Those in charge of the store’s loss prevention observed the alleged thief use pliers to cut off electronic security sensors, conceal merchandise in a bag and exit all points of sale without paying. The value was approximately $374. The suspect admitted to deputies that she had also stolen clothing from another nearby store an hour earlier. Deputies served her with a trespassing notice and booked her into the Summit County Jail for retail theft and possession of burglary tools. Deputies responded to a home on Bitner Road after they received reports of a domestic assault in progress. They separated the two individuals and learned that a woman had struck her roommate “with an object, causing a large abrasion on the back of her head.” Deputies arrested her and transported her to the Summit County Jail. Deputies responded to reports of a disorderly individual at the Kimball Junction Transit Center. The individual had an extradition warrant from Wisconsin, and deputies arrested and transported them to the Summit County Jail. Friday, Oct. 23 Deputies tried to stop a vehicle that left a Silver Creek gas station with a gas nozzle in its tank. The Unified Police Department had also reported the car stolen earlier in the day. The driver failed to yield and turned off its lights. Deputies observed the driver commit “numerous traffic violations,” including speeding, failing to signal, failing to stop at stop signs and reckless driving. Deputies successfully spiked the car, but the driver continued to evade arrest. Deputies terminated the pursuit on I-80 after losing sight of the car. Wednesday, Oct. 21 Deputies responded to Canyons Village to investigate a reported trespassing. The suspect had been arrested for trespassing in the same area the night before and received medical attention because of balance issues while standing. Deputies then transported him to the Summit County Jail. Tuesday, Oct. 20 Deputies responded to an assault in Jeremy Ranch after a caller reported a dispute over an off-leash dog. The caller said there was a short verbal confrontation that ended with an individual using pepper spray on the dog and the dog’s owner. Neither the dog’s owner nor the witness had identifying information about the perpetrator, and there was no footage of the incident. Deputies searched the area but didn’t find additional information. Anyone with knowledge of the alleged assault is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office.
