Park City police and Summit County deputies responded to DUI investigations, suspected vehicle burglaries, and drug-related arrests last week including a pursuit tied to break-ins at the Run-A-Muk parking lot.

On May 13, deputies received reports that two vehicles had been broken into at the Run-A-Muk Trailhead. A suspect was later located driving a silver van in Park City, but fled when officers attempted a traffic stop. The pursuit was eventually terminated when deputies lost visual on the car near the Interstate 80 and S.R. 224 junction.

Other notable incidents included a DUI arrest after a driver was spotted traveling the wrong way on Bitner Road, an attempted burglary at World Market, and several wildlife-related calls involving deer and ducks struck by vehicles.
