Welcome to my first weekly email of 2025! Your Lytle P.D. Officers handled 48 calls for service (we have been trending low on call volume) and conducted 125 traffic stops. Of those 125 stops, 78 resulted in citations and 47 resulted in warnings.
We didn’t have any property crimes reported last week! Wow, that is music to my ears.
Officers managed 5 arrests last week: #1 & #2 – A traffic stop for speeding on Benton City Road resulted in the arrest of a 33-year-old male. He had an active warrant out of Bexar Co. for DWI. Another occupant, another 33-year-old male received a citation for Poss. of Drug Paraphernalia and was released. The D.W.I. warrant “guy” was booked in the Atascosa Co. Jail. #3 – Officers responded to a suspicious female knocking on a door in the 18600 Blk. of Wisdom Rd. The 42-year-old female was arrested for Public Intoxication and booked into the Atascosa Co. Jail. #4 – A traffic stop on Main St. for speeding resulted in the arrest of a 44-year-old male for an active warrant out of Bexar Co. for Assault W/Bodily Injury (Family). He was booked into the Atascosa Co. Jail. #5 – A traffic stop on McDonald St. resulted in the citation and release of a 28-year-old male for possession of drug paraphernalia.
New Year’s Eve was quiet; we were not dispatched to any calls for fireworks. I did receive one voicemail complaint about them though. I went to bed early, but the people I talked to and the officers working said that fireworks usage was down from years past.
Our friends at Animal Care & Control want to remind everyone that if it is too cold for you outside it is too cold for many of your pets. Their facility accepts blankets, towels, and pet sweaters to help residents keep their outside pets warm. Contact them for more details at 830-709-3832.
We are all looking forward to the New Year and I am sure there are many New Year’s resolutions out there. Here is an easy one, a lot easier than giving up fried foods and soft drinks. Make your New Year’s resolution to report suspicious activity to your local law enforcement. Too often I am told “I didn’t want to bother you all” or “I know that you all are busy, so I didn’t call.” We want to be bothered, and while there are times when we get very busy, most of the time that is not the case. We are taxpayer-funded! Get your money’s worth by calling us, otherwise, it’s like having a gym membership and never going.
