Sergeant Justin Weller presented the sheriff’s office report for September to the Oak Grove City Council, summarizing reported crimes and service calls.

Weller said the month included one burglary, five thefts, seven personal-injury accidents, seven property-damage accidents, 34 medical calls, 20 animal complaints, 20 alarms and 147 traffic stops. He added that the report’s tally of 285 calls did not capture every call for service, only those with paperwork recorded in the summary.

Weller described several incidents: a rope-cutting on deer tree stands in the 2700 block of Lake George Boulevard NW; a stolen Amazon package from the 19200 block of Martin Street NW; a burglary of an unoccupied residence in the 21500 block of Cedar Drive NW that the crime-scene unit processed; a warrant arrest on Sept. 22 on the 3500 block of Viking Boulevard NW of a man wanted on a felony warrant from Crowling County; and a theft of a utility trailer from the 2200 block of 214th Avenue NW.

When asked whether mutual-aid calls appear in Oak Grove’s totals, Weller said with “99% certainty” the listed calls were within city limits. He also advised residents to use doorbell and security cameras to deter package theft; such footage can be submitted to law enforcement and assists in investigations.

Weller closed by answering few questions from council members and noting there were no further inquiries.
