Lytle Police Chief's Weekly Report - January 15, 2024
January 15, 2024
We have uploaded the weekly report to our website, you can find it at www.lytletx.org/police Scroll towards the bottom of the page and click on the Current Weekly Report. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at richard.priest@lytletx.org. City Offices are closed today in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
The roads were slick this morning, please take caution when driving around.
For the week ending Sunday, January 14th…. Lytle P.D. officers responded to, or generated, a total of 51 calls for service. Officers conducted 106 traffic stops. Those stops resulted in 61 citations and 45 warnings.
Not too much to report on this week, we only had two property crimes. Where do you ask? If you guessed “H.E.B. Plus” …. You are right! #1 – Sgt. G. Hanson took a report of a theft of approx. $200 worth of cosmetics and meat. Our thieves will be “looking good and eating well.” #2 – Ofc. J. Cortez took a report of a theft that occurred earlier in the day, the loss was valued at $160.00. The suspects made off with two briskets, two packs of jalapeno poppers, and two packs of Dr. Pepper. Stealing is a bad choice, but I must admit that does sound like a nice grouping.
Officers only made one arrest last week. Sgt. G. Hanson conducted a traffic stop on Railroad St. for speeding and determined the driver had an active warrant for assault causing bodily injury (out of Bexar Co.). He was booked into the Atascosa Co. Jail.
It’s hard to believe it is already time for a city election. Filing starts on January 17th and runs through February 16th. The election, if needed, will be on Saturday, May 4th, 2024. The following terms are expiring; The Mayor, Alderman District #4, and Alderman Dist. #5. Contact the election people at city hall or visit the city’s website for details.
A lot of people I talk to assume that there is some sort of compensation for these positions, but that is not the case. They don’t get a salary or any stipend for meetings, like some cities do. The city does provide you with an email address (that makes it easier for people to complain about stuff) and a shirt. Currently, two versions of shirts are in use, a polo shirt, and a fishing-type shirt. If you do happen to run, be considerate and try to run against someone who wears the same size shirt to save the city a few bucks if you win.
