A break in at the Thoreau Water and Sanitation office resulted in some ransacked drawers and about $3 in coins that had been taken.

A burglary in Mentmore netted a lot more as two saddles, valued at $2,700 were taken from a home while the occupants had been attending a rodeo.

The was also the unlawful taking of a motor vehicle in Ramah, a license plate that was removed from a parked vehicle, and two Giant stores, one in Thoreau and one in Springstead, were attacked for a total of 60 cans of beer.

MCSO Deputy Frank Villa Jr. was dispatched to the scene of an accident on State Highway 264 in reference to a pedestrian fatality. The man, identified as Anderson Smith, 52, of Yahtahey, was hit while standing in the middle of the road. Despite swerving to the left, the pedestrian was contacted by the right front fender .

Deputy Villa called Investigator Merle Bates and briefed him on what had happened an then called OMI who called out Summer Baker to ascertain the death and to aid in the identification.

There were more reports, but it was mostly a little bit of this and some more of that, important to the victim(s) but just another shift in a patrol car for law enforcement.
