Key activities included multiple arrests on municipal, magistrate, district, and out-of-state warrants for failures to appear, pay fines, or comply with probation. Several individuals were cited or arrested for shoplifting at local businesses such as Albertsons, Hobby Lobby, and Walmart. Trespassing violations were common, often involving previously banned individuals from properties or residences.

Domestic and disturbance calls led to charges like battery against household members, disorderly conduct, public affray, resisting officers, and criminal damage to property. Juveniles were referred for incidents including shoplifting, battery, and disorderly conduct. Traffic stops resulted in DWI arrests, reckless driving, and related offenses such as concealing identity and unlawful use of a license.

Notable events included a resolved bomb threat in the 1800 block of Florida Avenue where no explosives were found, and a vehicle-bicyclist collision on North White Sands Boulevard causing minor injuries. Property crimes reported were auto burglaries involving thefts from unsecured vehicles (items like firearms, video game systems, and backpacks), a stolen vintage vehicle from a residential property, and graffiti on commercial sites.

Other citations covered public nuisances, drinking in public, child cruelty, unauthorized graffiti, and code enforcement violations for property maintenance issues like garbage accumulation, outdoor storage, and overgrown weeds. A drug task force operation led to a controlled substances warrant arrest, and an agency assist handled a parole violation.

The week underscored APD’s efforts in addressing routine violations and emergent threats to community safety. Residents are reminded to secure vehicles and report suspicious behavior to aid prevention.
