Other than the eight individuals arrested for drug and alcohol offenses, others were arrested for credit card theft, evading law enforcement and grand theft of a firearm.

Thank LEOs for your hard work, keeping our community safe! One of the few communities left that has not been overwhelmed with homelessness, crime, prostitution, vandalism.
Unfortunately, casual drug users are fueling this activity. Demand here is very high which is a real shame. If we cant get demand under control, these suppliers will continue supplying their customers and bring all of this crime in with them. Many parents out here have no idea what their kids are into and frankly, I don’t think they want to know. It is easier to be their friends than their parents. It needs to be said, stop using, even casually and this issue goes away. It is sad in this Country how many people waste their lives with this crap.
Another great job by law enforcement. We are safe thanks to these brave men and women.
The majority of U.S. citizens support law enforcement. It is amazing how the hate group BLM, and other scum Leftist politicians are gaining momentum, to defund law enforcement.

Thank you LEO’s. We back you 100%
The word Defund really should be changed to Repurpose. Use the $ differently.
