Theft

An earlier theft at Gorjana Jewelry was reported to deputies. On Oct. 14, a woman took a diamond tennis bracelet from a display and covered it up while a salesman was preoccupied. The theft was captured on camera, and the suspect was recognized by Pendry Hotel security personnel. It’s possible that the suspect is currently out of the state.

A report of a previous theft was taken by deputies at a hotel on Frostwood Boulevard. Between 10:30 and 3:30 on Oct. 20, a few items were taken out of the complainant’s room. In response to a subpoena, hotel employees have compiled door entrance logs and will give them to law enforcement.

Burglary

Between late September and Oct. 1, a custom wooden boat with a red-and-blue stripe and two Jackson kayaks were taken from a residence in Wanship. Every item has a serial number so it can be listed on the National Crime Information Center but there aren’t any suspects at this time.

DUI

A possible injury accident was reported, and deputies responded to the incident on Old Lincoln Highway. According to the complaint, a car had veered off the road and was now in a ditch beside the road. When the deputies arrived, they spoke with the driver of the car. Because the car had prescription drugs in it and the driver showed signs of impairment, and did poorly on sobriety testings, the driver was arrested.
