Lytle P.D. news for the week ending Sunday, Jan. 12, 2025, … Your officers conducted 71 traffic stops, resulting in 35 citations and 36 warnings. Officers handled 46 calls for service. Our overall call numbers have remained on the low side. While, in general, our call numbers are a good indicator the real “Are we busy?” is the seriousness of the calls you receive. Fortunately, we haven’t had an increase in serious calls. Serious calls are the type of calls that require a lot of time for investigation and preparation for filing.
Our only property crime was a lost/stolen cell phone at the H.E.B. Plus. The complainant reported he left an iPhone 15 behind in a shopping cart.
Officers had two arrests last week. #1 – Officers were dispatched to Lytle H.S. for a report of a student with an active burglary warrant out of Atascosa Co. Medina Co. Sheriff’s SRO Rick Valdez released the student to Capt. Dear, who transported him to the Atascosa Co. Juvenile Detention Center in Jourdanton. #2 – A traffic stop for speeding resulted in the arrest of a 21-year-old male for possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. He was booked into the Atascosa Co. Jail.
In other news … officers transported two adults from the Camino Real to San Antonio area hospitals. One on a mental health warrant and another on a transfer of an emergency detention. Ofc. Reyes responded to H.E.B. Plus for a report of a “baggie of drugs” left at a self-checkout. I bet that even if the owner reads this, he won’t come in to claim it.
On the personal side, my wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary last Saturday. Man, time sure does fly.
