GILLETTE, Wyo. — Here is a summary of notable crimes in and around Gillette yesterday, April 22, obtained through law enforcement reports compiled by the Gillette Police Department and the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office.
Hit-and-run, April 22, South Douglas Highway, GPD
Gillette Deputy Police Chief Brent Wasson said officers responded to a city park around 8:35 a.m. after a 68-year-old man reported seeing a hit-and-run involving city property. The man said he was on a walking path when he heard a scraping noise, and he looked up in time to see a disconnected flatbed trailer hit a light pole. The driver hooked the trailer back up and left northbound in a white four-door Ford or Chevrolet pickup. The damage was estimated at $5,000, and the investigation is ongoing.
Drugs, April 22, South Douglas Highway, GPD
Officers arrested a 28-year-old man for drug possession after responding to a South Douglas Highway truck stop for a report of a customer being under the influence of drugs around 4:30 p.m., Wasson said. The man was located walking in the area while wearing a backpack. Officers learned the man was on probation and observed him displaying signs of recent meth use. A consent search of his backpack yielded a container of crystalline substance that tested presumptive positive for methamphetamine.
Trespassing, April 22, Rampart Drive, CCSO
Deputies responded to a Rampart Drive convenience store in Wright around 6 p.m. after staff called to report an issue with a customer, Sheriff Scott Matheny said. A woman reportedly entered the business and ordered a pizza. She then became belligerent with staff while disagreeing with the store’s policy that said she had to pay for the pizza before they made it. After a brief argument, the woman paid for her pizza and left. Due to the incident, the store asked deputies to serve her with a trespass notice, which they did.
