HOA#1 NEWSFLASH - REPORT OF INCIDENT (4/17/07)This newsflash will report the status of an incident experienced early this morning, April 17, in HOA#1. It was discovered that two young men in a vehicle had driven onto the golf course (hole #16) early this morning, causing moderate damage.
The vehicle then drove onto Ridgeview in a reckless manner, causing serious safety concerns to walkers. The HOA#1 patrol quickly tracked the vehicle and immediately alerted the Sheriff's Department. One individual was taken to hospital with injuries sustained from the driving, and the other was later apprehended and taken into custody.
Based upon the behavior experienced during and after the incident, it was strongly suspected that the two individuals were under the influence of a substance. At least one individual appeared to be familiar to the deputy sheriff. For those residents who witnessed the vehicle at that time and were placed in harm's way, please be assured that this incident has come to a safe conclusion.
We are grateful to the sheriff's department for its quick response, and for the diligence of HOA#1 patrol employee Gloria Eby.This incident stresses the commitment of patrol and the sheriff's department to respond to all suspicious activity, and the need for residents to alert us to such activity without reservation.
