A little bit earlier, in an apparently unrelated case at 11:07 a.m. in a Deer Valley Drive lot, a hit-and-run case that occurred several days earlier was reported. The damage included a dent on the driver’s side.
Other incidents reported to the Police Department included:
On Sunday, Feb. 6 at 6:38 p.m., a moose was seen in the area of Doc Holliday Drive, where it was moving in between the houses. The person who contacted the police was concerned the animal would attempt to cross a road.

A police officer stopped a driver on Main Street at 12:41 a.m. after observing the vehicle stopped in a travel lane as people got inside.

The vehicle was also impeding traffic, the police said.
On Saturday, Feb. 5 at 1:34 p.m., a vehicle was reported to be double parked in the area of the intersection of Main Street and Heber Avenue. The vehicle was causing delays in traffic, the police were told. It was gone by the time the police arrived.

The Police Department at 8:05 a.m. received a report from the area of Estates Drive and Four Lake Drive about an animal that might have been a bobcat. The animal was spotted near an equipment shed, but the person who contacted the police could no longer see the animal at the time of the call.
A police officer was summoned to the Main Street-Heber Avenue intersection at 1:52 a.m., when a ride-share service driver requested assistance after a rider did not want to exit the vehicle. The officer stayed until the driver and rider resolved the issue.
