BUCKLEY
April 21
– Officers were dispatched to an in-progress theft at a housing development under construction in the McCauley Avenue and Division Street area around 2 a.m. The suspect fled the scene in a car with a driver and a female passenger when police from multiple agencies arrived; the car crashed into a patrol vehicle, and the two men attempted to escape on foot, while the woman remained in the car. A K9 was called and both men were eventually arrested, along with the woman.
April 25
– Police were dispatched to search the Foothills Trail around 3:30 p.m. regarding a disorderly, elderly male who walked away from a memory care facility; he appeared to believe that he was being held captive. Once officers determined that was not the case, they located him on the trail and calmed him down enough to the point where he was willing to return to the facility.
April 27
– Officers were called to a SR 165 East convenience store around 2:15 a.m. regarding a burglary in-progress, and a witness provided police with a description of the suspect, who drove away before officers arrived. Police observed the front doors pulled off their hinges and broken glass, and the suspect was seen on video footage stealing what appeared to be cigarettes. An investigation is ongoing.
April 29

May 2
– Police responded to an injured dog report on SR 410 around 4:45 a.m. The canine, apparently hit by a car, was lying in the eastbound lane when officers approached. It initially attempted to bite the officers who came close, but later calmed down enough to where a phone number could be read from the collar. The owner was contacted and arrived on scene a short time later.
