Last week your Lytle P.D officers handled 46 calls for service and conducted 84 traffic stops. Of those 84 stops, 65 resulted in citations and 19 were warnings. Railroad St., was again, the site of this week’s “top speeder.” Sgt. Hanson cited a driver for “60 in a 35”, so that is 25 MPH over the limit. I have received a few tickets in my day, I was never a “fast driver,” maybe if I was trying to make it to Dairy Queen before they closed but that was about it.
Not too much criminal activity to report this past week, the crooks are busy getting the kids ready for school and taking those last-minute vacations.
We did not arrest anyone last week! It’s always a good week when nobody goes to jail. As a bonus, we save a lot of time and fuel expenses by not having to run people to the county jails in Jourdanton, Hondo, or San Antonio.
There was only one property crime reported last week. The homebuilders at Rosewood Estates reported that two Whirlpool ovens were removed from homes on Imes Way. There was no forced entry, the homes were completed but nobody had moved in yet.
It is time for our first Homecoming Night Parade. The event will be on Saturday, September 21, 2024. Want to join the parade? Sign-up information and rules can be found at https://www.lytletx.org/DocumentCenter/View/3024/2024-Homecoming-Parade-Rules-and-Signup-Form?bidId= Please email the signup forms to lytleevents@lytletx.org. This should be fun, if nothing else at least I won’t be out directing traffic or riding my bicycle in the hot sun! Please contact city hall or visit the city’s website for more information.
Please take caution when traveling in and around the schools, there is always a lot of traffic. Give yourself a little extra time or avoid the area during the start and end times. Please observe the school speed limits; we are well stocked on printer paper for the ticket writer.
