■ February 5 - An officer was dispatched to a location in Colby for a report of a traffic accident. Dispatch stated that a driver that was involved was parked in the driveway of an address and ran away from the scene. It was suspected that the driver ran off near North Third Street in Colby.

The officer arrived and met with the driver and passenger of the first vehicle who were then identified. While speaking with the two individuals, another officer patrolled the area for the suspect. The two individuals said they were not injured during the incident and said they were heading northbound on North Second Street when they were hit by a vehicle that did not stop at a stop sign and crashed into the vehicle. The first car had minor damage to the front driver’s side and the striking vehicle had minor damage to the driver’s side door.

The woman then said that the striking vehicle parked the vehicle outside of a residence and ran off. The woman said that someone from the nearby residence drove the car in the driveway but they did not know who it was. The woman then said the fleeing driver dropped his phone and the phone was given to the officer.

The officer then made contact with a person who lived at the nearby residence. She said the registered owner of the striking vehicle was her mother but she was not driving the vehicle. The woman said her mother is working and was trying to make phone contact with her. The woman said that she did not know who the male driver was but only knew it was her mother’s boyfriend.

The woman eventually was able to make contact with her mother who said that her boyfriend was indeed the driver. The woman did not know the exact address where he resided but knew he was staying at a farm in Unity.

The officer tried two different residences that were listed as previous places of residence for the man but was unable to make contact with him. After following up, the officer cited the man for five different citations.

■ February 10 - An officer was on patrol in Abbotsford and was following a vehicle. The officer ran the license plate through the Wisconsin Department of Justice system and it showed the registered owner had a revoked driver’s license. The officer asked dispatch to run the plate and they advised the vehicle had a court order for an ignition interlock device.

The officer initiated a traffic stop and met with the driver. While speaking to the driver, the officer could smell the odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle. The officer observed that the driver had slurred speech and glossy, red eyes. The driver said he got done with work about an hour and a half prior to talking with the officer and went to a friend’s house where he consumed about five beers. He admitted to not having an ignition interlock device installed in the vehicle.

The officer went back to the squad car and confirmed that the driver was revoked due to one prior operating while under the influence citation.

The man agreed to perform field sobriety tests as well as a preliminary breath test. The result of the PBT was 0.143. The man then admitted that he was probably not OK to drive. The man was placed under arrest and was issued citations for operating while under the influence (2nd offense), fail to install IID/violate court order, operating while revoked due to alcohol and operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration (2nd offense). The man was then released to a responsible party.

■ ■ February 11 - An officer was dispatched to a residence in Abbotsford for a report of loud music. The officer arrived on-scene and met with the homeowner who was warned about the loud music and said she would be clearing everyone out.

The officer left the scene but approximately 20 minutes later, dispatch was notified that the music was back on. The officer met with a different person at the address this time and the person was given a citation for a noise violation.

■ ■ February 12 - An officer took a call from a man who said he might have lost his wallet that had credit cards and cash. The man said he also might have misplaced his cell phone.

The man advised that he froze his credit cards and would be calling his bank about the situation.
