Afton police report arrest in abduction case; eclipse and Lotoja events pass without incident
Summary
Police told the council that a suspect has been identified and arrested in a recent abduction and assault case and that the town’s response to the total solar eclipse and the Lotoja event was incident‑free; the department is training on E‑Force software.
Afton Police Chief Jason Romberg briefed the Town Council on recent public-safety developments at the Sept. 12 meeting, reporting that a suspect in a recent abduction and assault investigation has been identified, arrested and charged.
Romberg also told the council that the town’s response to two recent large events—the total solar eclipse and the Lotoja bicycle event—went smoothly with no reported incidents. He said the police department is currently training on the E‑Force records-management system and expects to implement it soon.
