Police Blotter: High Numbers of Non-Locals Still Committing Crimes

The good news is that this is non-violent crime and often traffic-related.

Arrests of non-residents have remained high, and May 2 - May 8 proved no exception. 

75 percent of individuals taken into custody last week were not from the area. Of 24 adults arrested, only six were from Golden Valley.

Such statistics reinforce April trends, as do large numbers of traffic related offenses. Around half of all arrests involved driving with a suspended or revoked license. Two individuals were reported as driving while impaired.

Other instances of arrest included three persons with outstanding warrants and two cases of soliciting without a license.

Police say they expect a relatively high percentage of people arrested in Golden Valley don't live here because I-394 and highways 55 and 100 run right through the city.
