At the 7-11 on Park Ave., several minors attempting to buy beer were stopped by PCPD officers on Tuesday. Citations were issued to two adults for possession. Three juveniles were referred/screened for possession and/or consumption.

PCPD day shift officers were on-scene in the Homestake area Feb 23 responding to an argument over property among several roommates; one person was sited and released. While officers were conducting their investigation, the burning fire in the fireplace spread, causing the condo to catch on fire. Surrounding units were cleared by the officers present, at which point they extinguished the fire before the fire marshal and fire department responded to the scene.

On Sunday, ski patrol from Park City Mountain requested assistance from PCPD in handling three suspects who were trespassing (skiing) on the property. All three adult men were released on citation for trespassing.

Sheriff’s deputies reported that on Saturday night, a complainant at Del Taco reported that a man in a silver pickup truck had struck a parked vehicle in the parking lot and that he had lost consciousness. Upon contact with the man, he showed numerous signs of impairment and he performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests. The male was subsequently taken into custody for suspicion of DUI and transported to the Summit County Jail.
