A lieutenant from the Weber County Sheriff's Office briefed Washington Terrace City Council on Aug. 5 about several notable investigations and staff changes.

The department identified and charged five juveniles in a Roosevelt Elementary construction-site vandalism case after public tips aided investigators who reviewed a grainy trail camera image, the lieutenant said. The case helped showcase recent detective staffing gains; the bureau filled three of four detective vacancies during the past year.

Other incidents discussed included a stalking arrest where a suspect repeatedly photographed and messaged an ex-partner, a case involving extensive ketamine abuse where deputies arrested an adult and filed child-endangerment charges related to an 11-year-old left at home, a juvenile robbery with two suspects identified and one arrested, and a hit-and-run that led deputies to locate and arrest a DUI suspect. The lieutenant credited basic investigative work and community tips for those arrests.

The sheriff's representative said Terrace Days events were handled with only minor incidents and that the office will adjust traffic routing and add a traffic vantage point during next year's parade based on debrief feedback.

The lieutenant also discussed an ongoing noise complaint related to extraordinarily loud, persistent music at a residence. He told the council there is a daytime noise disturbance provision in Chapter 9 of the city code that could support deputy action if residents call dispatch when the disturbance is occurring.

Ending: Lieutenant said the department will continue follow-up on nuisance and safety matters and incorporate Terrace Days traffic changes into next year's planning.
