Police Report:
LPD Officers conducted 286 traffic stops, responded to 13 alarm calls, responded to 16 animal calls, responded to 8 collisions, answered 28 suspicious circumstances calls and handled 86 other types of calls for service for a total of 437.
Routine traffic stops resulted in the following charges; Lakeway Warrants X 1, Possession of Alcohol by a Minor X 1, Driving while Intoxicated X 3, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia X 5.
Officers responded to a disturbance call at a Cutty Trail address. Upon arrival officers learned the neighbors had gotten into an argument following their Thanksgiving dinner. The disturbance was verbal only and all parties involved were separated and returned to their own residences for the night. No charges were filed in this case.
Officers were called to investigate a vehicle stuck in the median on Lakeway Blvd. The driver of the vehicle told officers that she had turned too soon and then ran into the median to avoid an accident. The vehicle was stuck in the median and was removed by a tow service. Approximately 30 feet of sod was damaged. The driver of the vehicle provided insurance information for the damages and was issued citations for traffic violations.
Officers responded to an Indianwood address in reference to a disturbance call. Officers learned that parties were involved in an argument. One person had been assaulted and received threats of further harm by the other. This subject was placed under arrest for assault family violence and transported to the Travis County Jail.
Officers responded to a RR 620 S. convenience store in reference to a theft call. Upon arrival officers were advised of a male subject who had stolen a case of beer and ran from the store. Officers checked the area and located the subject hiding in the bushes. The subject was arrested and charged with theft and public intoxication. He was transported to the Travis County Jail.
Detectives were assigned to investigate a report of a violation of a protective order after a victim reportedly received multiple text messages and calls from an ex-girlfriend. According to the victim and court records, a lifelong protective order had been issued in July after an incident of dating violence. The order prohibited the suspect from contacting the victim in any manner. After obtaining multiple forms of digital evidence, Detectives were able to obtain an arrest warrant (Repeated Violation of Certain Court Orders, a 3rd Degree Felony) for the suspect who remains at large.
Detectives were assigned to investigate a tip received through the Department’s Facebook page. According to the anonymous tipster, they observed a threatening post made by a subject who was believed to have been a Lakeway resident. The post made threats against an ex-spouse and towards law enforcement. Detectives were able to identify the suspect and determined he lives in the Houston area. Detectives identified the ex-spouse and advised her of the threat. Detectives and Police Communications personnel worked with several agencies and requested welfare checks on both parties before issuing a law enforcement (officer safety) bulletin to all law enforcement agencies in Texas. Due to the victim residing in the City of Austin, Detectives turned the case over to the Austin Police Department Strategic Investigations Unit for further investigation.
Detectives attended the Trauma-Informed Sexual Assault Response training which was presented by the TCSO Victim Services, SAFE Alliance and the Travis County District Attorney’s Office. The goal of the course was to provide an overview of trauma responses and parameters for law enforcement based Victim Services response, an overview of exam processes, and overview of the roles of community advocacy, and an overview of sexual assault reviews with the District Attorney’s Office personnel.
LPD personnel attended a congratulatory dinner for Detective Mary Proctor at the Rough Hollow Grille to celebrate the recent conviction of Saffa Bell. Det. Proctor was presented with a customized plaque/shadow box containing a news article, Meritorious Service Medal, and an LPD Challenge Coin for her role in the investigation. ADA Rob Drummond (Travis County DA’s Office) also attended and presented a very moving and emotional letter he received praising the investigation and subsequent conviction of Saffa Bell. The letter was sent from a victim who had been previously assaulted by Saffa Bell in 1986.
LPD Detectives and BCPD personnel teamed up to travel to the Harris County Jail to extradite two wanted individuals back to Travis County in reference to separate and unrelated Credit Card Abuse investigations. During the transportation, LPD Detectives met with Detectives from the Lavaca County Sheriff’s Office to retrieve stolen property they recently recovered. The property was initially stolen during burglaries that occurred in Lakeway. Those cases remain under investigation.
