Police report information is provided by area law enforcement agencies, released in the month of July. Some departments release reports several weeks after an arrest takes place. Charges are not evidence of guilt. They are a record of police actions on a given day, and persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. If you or a family member are charged or cited and the case is subsequently adjudicated, we encourage you to notify the editor. We will verify and report the outcome.
