The wait is almost over. Pioneer Crossing is scheduled to open Monday, August 23. UDOT is making a final push to have the road completed by its opening date. The road is a six-mile eastwest connection between Redwood Road in Saratoga Springs and Main Street in American Fork. Included in this new road is a new interchange at the I-15 American Fork Main Street exit. According to the project director Bryan Adams, the project will be substantially complete by August 23. “There will still be a few things to finish up, some landscaping and some work north of the new Mill Pond intersection in Lehi and on 900 West in American Fork. But everything else will be open, the six-mile roadway, the new Mill Pond intersection, the new Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI), and all of the work we’ve been doing on east Main Street. Everything will be open, with no more planned construction activities to interrupt the flow of traffic.” From the Saratoga Springs side, the view has looked complete for a few weeks. The only work left to complete on the west end of the road is a little finish work on the Jordan River bridge. Landscaping and the new welcome sign for Saratoga Springs is in place. The Jordan River Parkway Trail under the bridge is already open. Pioneer Crossing uses a

Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) at the I-15 interchange and Adams suggests residents using Pioneer Crossing take a few extra minutes to get familiar with the way DDI works, since this is the first DDI in the state of Utah. There is more information and an animation at
www.udot.utah.gov/pioneer. “We appreciate the patience of area residents with all of the work we’ve been doing,” Adams states. “We are excited to open this beautiful new transportation facility, which we believe will make a huge difference for mobility in northern Utah County."
Saratoga Springs welcomed in a new police officer to the force in late July. Officer Nate Harward was sworn in by Mayor Mia Love at the City Council meeting on the July 27. Harward joins the police department as his first job in law enforcement after graduating from the academy last August. Harward currently lives with his wife Keri and two boys in Orem, Utah, but when asked if he planned to move to Saratoga Springs his response was, “Oh yeah, we are looking continuously, we will be moving as soon as possible. We have family in Saratoga Springs, my boys have cousins there.” Due to the nature of careers in law enforcement, many police officers sacrifice quite a bit of what is typically termed “family time.” With two young boys at home Harward comments on this change, “We know this will be an adjustment on our schedules but that is what we are willing to do. I can only do this because of the support I have at home. Both of my

According to John Hendrickson, Eagle Mountain’s city administrator, the city started a new contract with Ace Trash Collection in April, and the new recycle program began June 1. All residents are required to recycle, unless they choose to “opt-out,” an option that will be available every April, if they didn’t already
choose not to participate when the equipment was handed out. People wanting to start recycling can do so at anytime. Hendrickson states that currently 82 percent of residents are choosing to participate. Alpine School District is involved in the distribution of the 20 percent profits with the Alpine Foundation, except when it comes
to charter school Ranches Academy, who will see the profits without a middleman. Hendrickson states, “The funds may be used by the schools as they see fit. We hope it will be used in areas to supplement supplies, arts and music, etc., but, there is no restriction.” Pony Express Elementary School has already benefited from

boys always so proud to tell people, “My dad is a police officer.” When asked about his reasons for changing careers into law enforcement, Harward states, “Growing up I had a brother who was intellectually handicapped. Even though he was five years older, I felt like I needed to look after him. In high school I was a peer tutor. All growing up I felt like I needed to protect the people who couldn't protect themselves.” He continues, “[Enrolling in the academy] was not a spur of the moment decision, but I finally did it...It wasn't easy by any means, but it came very natural to me. It was not a hard change to go from a just a regular guy walking down the street to someone who is sworn to protect the residents.” “I am grateful for the opportunity to work in Saratoga Springs,” Harward adds. “I just want to say thank you for this opportunity. Everyone I have met, the council, Mayor Love, Chief Hicken, they have all been very supportive.

We hope this will be seen as a very positive outcome for the community.”

The Crossroads Journal
By Sali Burningham Staff Writer July 20, 2010 Council members Donna Burnham, Eric Cieslak, Ryan Ireland, Nathan Ochsenhirt, and John Painter were all in attendance as Mayor Jackson called the policy session of the Eagle Mountain City Council to order at 7:15. The council was concerned about finding a way to get City Center children safely to the new elementary school south of the city and comments related to that topic dotted their conversation throughout the evening. Public comment Tiffany Ulmer asked for sidewalks for the children who will have to walk to the new elementary school in City Center. Doug Page of SilverLake asked if a decision had been made regarding the fencing along SilverLake Parkway so his son could finally play outside in the backyard. Mayor Jackson told him that there will be a fence, but there is no time frame. Page left unhappy; they have been waiting several years for the fence. Greg Riley of Mt. Airey thanked Councilman Ochsenhirt for organizing a tree planting affair in their neighborhood. Residents planted 80 trees. City Council/Mayor’s Items Burnham requested some publicity for the next town hall meeting scheduled for August 19 to encourage citizen participation. All residents are encouraged to attend and have open conversation with your City Council
and mayor. Ochsenhirt commented that it was encouraging to see neighborhoods, government and HOA working together in the planting of the 80 trees. Painter complimented the progress of the pergolas (for benches) along Ranches Parkway. Cieslak expressed disappointment in Eagle Mountain voter turnout. He encouraged citizens to vote in November, commenting that Eagle Mountain could have the opportunity to expand our voice in the Alpine School District. He encouraged, “Do your homework, research the candidates and vote.” Cieslak’s concern was fueled by the decision of the Alpine School District in the placement of the new elementary school. Ireland attended a seminar the previous two Saturdays in council chambers, 16 hours of learning the history of our country, the Constitution, and the freedoms and liberty we enjoy as citizens. He complimented the organizer of the project Mayor Jackson announced that she would soon be in Washington, D.C., again, lobbying for our city. Appointment Pat Graves was unanimously appointed to the Senior Council to finish another person’s term through December, plus a three-year term of her own. Consent agenda The consent agenda included: the minutes of the July 6 City Council meeting; final plat for the Village at Simpson Springs- A and Vacation of Condominium Record of Survey; and a Bond Release into Warranty for Val-

ley View Ranch North B. There was also a Declaration of Surplus Property: two Troxler nuclear density gauges. The consent agenda was unanimously approved by the City Council with changes made during work session. Scheduled items PRESENTATION – Community Heroes presentation of checks from donations made during Pony Express Days. Mayor Jackson expressed her thanks for the privilege of helping raise money for the four selected individuals. They raised $2,000 and Jackson presented a check for $500 to each of the recipients. AGREEMENT between Eagle Mountain City and Powder River Rodeo LLC for the Eagle Mountain PRCA Rodeo contract. The city has selected Powder River as a consultant rodeo producer to assist in the Pony Express Days Rodeo. Powder River assisted the city with the 2010 rodeo and offers the comprehensive services required by the city in the future. Powder River will furnish personnel to produce the rodeo, provide stock and consultant services, and other requirements needed in connection with the rodeo. This agreement requires annual approval of the budgeted amounts by the City Council, but does not require the city to appropriate the funds required to pay Powder River beyond what is budgeted each year for the rodeo production. Councilman Cieslak motioned to authorize the mayor to sign a contract with Powder River, which was seconded by Councilwoman Burn-
ham. During discussion, Councilman Ireland commented that it was “difficult to make a decision when you don’t have all the information. We are missing some things.” Upon a call to vote, the agreement was passed with Councilman Ireland voting “no.” MOTION for approval of a park plan for the FY 2010-2011 budget. The Eagle Mountain City Council approved the 2010-2011 City Fiscal Year Budget at the June 22 City Council meeting. The proposed park plan identifies specific parks projects and improvements that were funded in the budget, some through grant money. This item was tabled at the July 6 meeting. Councilman Ireland suggested putting the splash pad at the new Mid-valley Regional Park as a potential kick-starter for the recreational center pool that he was of the opinion that other council members are in favor of. Ochsenhirt replied that “with the cost of putting in sewer, etc., it is probably premature at this time,” to which Ireland replied that Ochsenhirt’s real reasoning was that he wants a swim pool at the regional park. Cieslak interjected that the council’s intent is to put the lap pool and dressing rooms to vote and not espouse a decision one way or another, leaving the decision up to citizens. Cieslak said that he was comfortable with a splash pad at Nolan Park because it is most cost effective at this point. Councilwoman Burnham commented that Nolan Park is a “walkable” park for a lot of children. Everyone would have to drive if the splash
pad was at the regional park. Ireland spoke up that he was trying to think of ways to avoid having the city go into debt, commenting, “The four of you want to build a splash pad in Nolan Park and a pool in Mid-Valley Park. In my opinion it is not prudent.” Mayor Jackson elaborated that the council had spent time setting priorities and would like to get the “biggest bang for the buck” and spend as much grant money as they can. The splash pad was a priority item for last year, carried over into this year. The aquatic center is completely different - a luxury item, Jackson added. Councilman Ochsenhirt motioned to approve the park improvements, seconded by Councilman Painter. Ochsenhirt asked Chris Trusty if they would be able to finish the Smith Ranch Park (which will eventually surround the west and north sides of Pony Express Elementary School). Trusty replied that the city would like to do as much as they can, including irrigation, grass, and gravel for a parking lot this year. With no further discussion, the council voted to approve the park plan and budget with Ireland voting “no.” BID AWARD for purchase from Lewis Coach of a 15-passenger Glaval van. Lewis Coach submitted the lowest bid for a 15-passenger Glaval van that will be built to the requested specification and ready to be delivered in August, 2010. The vehicle will be ADA accessible and equipped to accommodate two wheelchairs. A grant of $56,000, plus $9,000 budgeted will be used to purchase the van. Painter motioned to approve the purchase of the van, with Ochsenhirt seconding. The bid award for purPlease see EMCC NOTES on page 8

July 13, 2010 The City Council meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. Those present included Jim Miller, Michael McOmber, Cecil Tuley, Brent Call, Bud Poduska, Mayor Mia Love, and city staff. Public comment Fox Hollow resident Sue Alexander asked the City Council to clean up a wash area in her neighborhood. She said that the weeds were home to many snakes and mice and that the area was an eyesore. She also requested that the city be aggressive in pursuing the bond money being held for improvements such as fencing and open space irrigation. Lastly, Alexander noted that she had a water cross-connection and that Public Works told her the connection was fine as long as she did not use it. City Manager Ken Leetham told Alexander that all cross-connections are illegal in the city and that it would need to be disconnected. A representative from the Hawk’s Landing HOA requested that the city fix the irrigation problems at the entrance to his neighborhood. He also noted that a permanent power source would be needed for the irrigation system. The Hawk’s Landing resident also asked City Council members to look into the 45 mph speed limit on Redwood Road. He suggested that
since construction was complete, the speed limit should increase. Councilman Bud Poduska stated that the state sets speed limits on state roads. Police Chief Hicken also recommended the 45 mph limit. Policy items Proposed Site Plan for the Saratoga Crossroads Apartments located at 1298 North Commerce Drive, JMMS Enterprises, owners; Mike Stewart, applicant. City staff reported that the apartment development would consist of 11 acres zoned R-18. Amenities would include three playgrounds, a basketball court, volleyball, trail around the project, a pavilion and a water fountain. The development also contained enhanced landscaping and a mix of carports and garages. The project contained 33 percent open space and would be built in one phase during the next 12 to 18 months. The City Council appreciated the complete and thorough presentation. It was unanimously approved. Approval of proposed Development Agreement and Public Improvements Extension and Reimbursement Agreement for the Saratoga Crossroads Apartments. City staff reported that the agreement concerned the need to build a road at 70 South when the apartments were complete. Other nearby developments would share the road’s costs. The agreement was unanimously approved. Ordinance No. 10-7 (7-13-10): An ordinance of the City of Saratoga Springs adopting the current

edition of the International Building Code; International Residential Code; International Plumbing Code; International Mechanical Code; National Electrical Code; International Fuel Gas Code; and International Energy Conservation Code; and the International Fire Code as the building codes for the City of Saratoga Springs and establishing an effective date. Councilman Michael McOmber requested that some grammatical changes be made. The ordinance was unanimously approved. Ordinance No. 10-8 (7-13-10): An ordinance adopting amendments to the City of Saratoga Springs Land Development Code to Section 19-18 (Sign Regulation) and establishing an effective date. City staff reported that the changes concern political signs, civic signs, vehicles used as signs, and the measurements of signs in determining code compliance. Political signs are not to be posted more than 45 days before an election. They must be removed by the following Monday after the election, staff stated. Businesses would not be allowed to leave advertising trailers or trucks in public right-of-way areas. Temporary signs could now be posted during certain holidays. Then there was a lengthy discussion on business sign size restrictions. Mayor Mia Love suggested that businesses that sit farther back from roads, or whose signs are partially hidden, should be allowed to have bigger signs. We want all businesses to do well, she concluded.
Accepting New Patients www.greenwooddental.net
City staff pointed out that the sign Mayor Love had suggested to staff earlier (specifically for Sean’s Smokehouse) was an 115 percent increase over the current code size limit. He thought having such a radical exception would set a bad precedence. He suggested a 25 percent increase for businesses sitting farther back from the road. Love replied that she was looking at the bigger picture—a business having a bigger sign is less of a worry than a building sitting empty. Councilman Brent Call asked how the City Council could satisfy other business owners who come forward wanting a bigger sign. He did not want every single sign approval up for debate. Poduska asked if city staff could create a formula where the sign’s size would be determined by its distance from the street. This would give distant businesses the same relative visibility as those next to the sidewalk. McOmber stated that he was pro-development, but that he wanted the sign ordinance to be fair. He liked Poduska’s idea of a set formula. Business owners need to be able to read the city code and know how big their signs can be, he concluded. Councilman Cecil Tuley suggested street side kiosks as a way to make signage equal among businesses. He also added that political and informational signs should be allowed on public lands. Currently, they are allowed only on private land. McOmber also suggested that the height and size of model home flags be limited as a courtesy to
Page 5
neighbors. He had lived next to a model in the past and reported that the flags were extremely noisy in stormy conditions. City staff noted that it was hard to regulate the American Flag. Mayor Love summarized the changes being proposed to the Land Development Code. City staff was asked to work on a formula in determining business sign size. They were also asked to limit vehicles being used as signage to be in good working condition. And, model home flag poles would be limited to 25 feet. The changes were unanimously approved. Resolution No. R10-24 (7-1310): A resolution of Saratoga Springs City to participate in the Utah County CDBG. The resolution was unanimously approved. Proposed Fire Service Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between the City of Saratoga Springs and Utah County. McOmber was concerned about committing to a five-year contract. He wanted the ability to renegotiate annually so the true costs of fighting fires would be reflected in the agreement. Fire Chief Hay said he would approach the county about the ability to negotiate. The agreement was unanimously approved. The consent calendar was also approved. Mayor Love asked for permission from the City Council to look into the cost of hanging banners on streetlights at the entrance to Saratoga Springs on Pioneer Crossing. She thought it would be a nice touch to the new road with little cost. The City Council approved her request and the meeting was adjourned.

By Rebecca Call Staff Writer Saratoga Springs is seeing things a lot of cities are not in this economy...a surplus of funds in the budget. Budget meetings this year were not usual for the City of Saratoga Springs. While addressing the budgets, the City Council had to keep in mind the money they would need upon the then-only-privatelyknown fact of city manager Ken Leetham's departure and still address where about a half a million dollars would be allocated. After many ideas were presented, the City Council approved, among other items, pay raises for city administration and governments. The mayor will receive an increase in pay from $8,000 a year to $18,000, the City Council members will receive $900 per month (double their current pay) and the city administration will receive a one-time stipend and one percent cost of living pay raise for the first time in three years. City Councilman Bud Poduska states, “The city staff will receive a stipend based on a number of fac-
tors. They will be given points based on current salary and how many years they have worked for the city. Those points will then be used to divide up the funds set aside for their stipend.” The City Council members available to the Crossroads were all in favor of the pay increases, especially the one affecting the mayor. It was pointed out that the mayor is currently taking on a role that really had not existed to date in Saratoga Springs, that of an economic developer. The City of Saratoga Springs is continuing to see businesses with an interest in Saratoga Springs real estate. Seeking out and approving quality establishments that complement the city's way of life is paramount for the city at this juncture. Mayor Love has taken on this role in addition to her other responsibilities. The remaining portion of the excess budget has been allotted to road improvements, public safety, a library startup and a rainy day fund, among some other smaller expenditures. Above all, the consensus seems to be said best by Poduska, “It is a great time to live in Saratoga Springs.”
Strawberries ‘N Cream Thursday, August 5, 2010

By Kim Zebley Restaurant Review
I need a break from this hot weather. I need something refreshing. I need something not too heavy. I need something not too light. I need something just right. I need… These seem like fairly simple needs, I’m just not sure how to satisfy them. Well, I’ve never stopped at a shave ice place. They’ve never seemed very appealing to me. But when I saw the word “cream,” that sounded really good. Strawberries ‘N Cream is located at 290 East State in American Fork, just in front of Allen’s Camera. They serve the usual shave ice with plenty of flavors to choose from. They also provide the option of making it creamy, either by adding a cream topping, a double cream topping, ice cream, or both! Apparently, this is how the Hawaiians make it. Shave ice is made by shaving a block of ice, and creating very fine ice flakes. These are similar to snow. Unlike snow cones, which are made from crushed ice, the ice flakes allow the added flavors to absorb into the flakes instead of rushing by and landing on the bottom of the cup. I learned from Wikipedia that “shave ice traces its history to Japan, where it is known as Kakigori, and dates back to the Heian Period (794-1185). Shave ice enjoyed world-wide popularity after Japanese plantation workers

Corn and Tomatillo Soup
I don’t usually make a lot of soup in the summer, but this one is light, full of vegetables, and has a hint of lime that makes me think of dinners on the patio. Even my pickiest eater liked this soup (which says a lot). Serve with tortilla chips or corn muffins.
immigrated to the Hawaiian Islands (in the late 1800s) and took their traditional dessert with them, creating shave ice from large blocks of ice and using Japanese swords which were family heirlooms.” Lucky for everyone, we no longer need Japanese swords for shaving the ice! I ordered a small pina colada shave ice with double cream. The cream is not just cream, it is a sweet, rich, and smooth concoction. I have no idea what it is and the worker didn’t either. Maybe
it’s some top-secret recipe. Whatever it is, it made that shave ice go from ordinary to extraordinary, and over the top. I loved the flavored ice mixed with the cream. Wow, it was refreshing! It was not too heavy and it was not too light, and it was definitely a nice break from this hot weather. It was just right and just what I needed. There, there, little need, now you’ve become a want! Strawberries ‘N Cream is only open until September, so hurry and feed that little need.

Thursday, August 5, 2010 EMCC NOTES Continued from page 4 chase was unanimously approved. BID AWARD for the City Center Trails Project. With the completion of the new elementary school in City Center, the city had solicited bids to install a trail running from the Eagle Park subdivision to the new school for pedestrian traffic. The trail proposed for bid conformed to the City’s Open Space Improvement Plan for the City Center. The city does not currently own easements for portions of this trail. With school beginning on August 25, it is unlikely that easements can be obtained and a trail built prior to the school opening. The City Council could choose to award the alternate bid, which would route pedestrian traffic across Eagle Mountain Boulevard at Major Street and along the east boundary of Pony Express Park. Another option would be to award the bid alternate, placing the trail within the west right of way of Sweetwater Road from the Eagle Park subdivision to the Overland Trail subdivision on Spring Water Road. There is approximately 25 feet of city-owned property from the edge of asphalt to the right of way line. The trail could be built adjacent to the right of way line, leaving 15 feet of separation between the trail and the existing edge of asphalt. However, while this alternative solves the easement issue, the trail would eventually have to be removed to accommodate the full build-out right-of-way for Sweetwater Road. The problem of getting children to the school safely developed into a major area of discussion. There are no sidewalks south of Eagle Mountain Parkway, and the children will also have to cross the parkway to get to the school. The City Council wanted as much trail or sidewalk as possi-
ble to be installed. Councilwoman Burnham crafted a motion to approve the bid award. There will be a lot of children travelling to the south of City Center to the school, and safety was a priority issue. Mayor Jackson allowed citizens in the audience to speak to the issue, and Doug Graves suggested that the plan might not work because, “as a kid, you take the shortest route – cutting through yards if necessary.” Tiffany Ulmer felt that the only access was at the roundabout. She said that “the closer kids are not going to use the trail; you need to find a way to extend the sidewalks.” After more discussion, Burnham said, “This is getting uglier and uglier by the minute,” and withdrew her motion, changing it to accept alternate B and look further into the details. This motion to approve the alternative plan was unanimously passed, recognizing that there is much yet to be accomplished. City Council/Mayor’s business Cieslak reminded residents to keep our transportation needs at the forefront, and commended Councilman Ireland for “sticking to his guns.” Burnham reiterated what Cieslak had said earlier about voting for a school board member, commenting that “this conversation we just had (about the trails) explains why the school board election is so important. We wouldn’t be having this conversation if we had (local) board representation.” She was referring to the location of the Mountain Trails School discussed in the above bid award, which will make it difficult for students to get to the school without the city providing a significant investment in sidewalks or trails. Mayor Jackson announced that the city had won the prize for the best small float in the American Fork Parade. Motion to adjourn at 8:25
SSPD celebrates POLICE BLOTTER their third year Thursday, August 5, 2010
By Kara Traveller Staff Writer
It has been three years since the Saratoga Springs Police Department was formed. The department began with 15 officers and has grown to 23. Five of those officers are contracted out to the City of Bluffdale. There have also been three new additions to the force, one for commercial vehicle inspections, one for investigations and one school resource officer. The department has also added a K9 unit to its mix. Monty, the police dog, helps with sniffing for drugs, tracking offenders and goes with officers to local presentations in the community. The department was able to afford the dog by private donations and grants. Even with the growth of the department it has come in under budget every year. Corporal Aaron Rosen attributes the police force's success to Chief Hicken. “Under the direction of Chief Hicken it’s come together so well. He brings 33 years experience. Under his leadership we have been able to excel every year, without fail, we come in under budget with our

police operations and have been able to save 18 to 20 percent in the budget,” Rosen states. Over the last three years the department has seen much success. Rosen commends the investigative division for their ability to solve crimes. Recently they assisted Salt Lake and Davis Counties in a major art theft. The department also likes to focus on community preparedness and working with the youth. According to Rosen there is a strong sense of community. "The officers have a vested interest in their job because this is also their home for many of them," Rosen explains. Rosen feels the department has been well received. “I know the community takes pride in their own agency and we think the people regard us as being hard workers and out and about in the public,” states Rosen. Rosen adds that any citizen who has questions about operations or concerns to feel free to contact the police department. Residents can find more information about the department, including monthly happenings on the city web site www.saratogasprings.net/departments/publicsafety/police/ or by phone 801766-6503.

In 2010, the Saratoga Springs Police Department has handled a total of 3,974 offenses, year-to-date. This includes 464 reported incidents in June 2010, up from 441 in 2009 and 453 in 2008, an overall five percent average annual increase in incidents over the past two years. Case sampling: Intoxicated youth - An SSPD officer, while on patrol at a local retailer, noticed two juvenile males loitering in the parking lot of this local business. Two underage boys were questioned on-scene, and it was determined that they had been drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and were trespassing, because they had already been asked to leave the store’s property. Due to the time of night, the two youths were also arrested for curfew violation. One of the teens was already serving probation for other crimes. Both were released to parents. Special response team/call-out - On June 11, members of the SSPD Special Response Team (SRT), along with the team commander, negotiator, and patrol officers, responded to a residence in the Saratoga Springs Development on the report of a suicidal female patient who was also holed-up inside her home with her children also being held inside. As officers set-up perimeter containment, the Command Post was organized, the SRT Team assembled, and negotiations were commenced. After a short time, the female voluntarily exited her home and surrendered to SSPD officers. She was taken to an area hospital for evaluation and follow-up treatment. Graffiti crime - An SSPD Officer on routine patrol conducted a roadside interview with two juvenile boys, who were working in the area painting fire hydrants for completion of court-ordered community service. After meeting with the boys, the officer responded to the bathroom facility at the Eagle Park in the Saratoga Springs Development. He noticed graffiti-type damage caused by red paint. It was similar red paint to that on the hydrants. The officer returned to question the boys about the vandalism to the restrooms, and they confessed to causing the paint damage. Both boys were arrested and taken to Slate Canyon Youth Detention Center.
Domestic violence - On June 13, SSPD officers responded to a Saratoga Springs Development subdivision on the report of a 911 hang-up. When officers arrived it was discovered that the couple residing there had been physically fighting. Ultimately, the female victim was punched in the head by her husband, while she was holding their one yearold son. Later she was pushed down stairs, and had to urgently leave their home and go to a neighbor’s house to call police. The suspect was later caught and taken to jail for domestic violence charges. DUI, drugs, and debit cards - On June 19, an SSPD officer stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation near the Wal-Mart store. While speaking with the driver, the officer realized he’d already arrested the same driver nearly two months ago for driving without a Utah license and drug charges. While questioning the driver, it was determined that he’d never reinstated his driver license. After routine computer checks, it was discovered his license was actually suspended for drug use. The driver agreed to field testing and consented to a search of the vehicle that he claimed was not his. The officer found a baggie of an unknown crystallized substance. It field tested positive for Methamphetamine. The driver was arrested on-scene for drug possession, suspicion of DUI (for operating the vehicle while under the influence of drugs), and possession of a debit card belonging to someone else. Middle of nowhere crash/DUI - An alert SSPD officer likely saved a young man’s life, or saved him from serious illness, because he found the driver and his severely damaged vehicle off-road near the extreme southernend of Saratoga Springs. The officer noticed a pick-up truck that had crashed several miles earlier, off-road near the Pelican Point area of the city, at about 4:00 a.m. in the early hours of June 20. The driver had admitted to having been drinking alcohol, and became ill while operating the vehicle. The driver said he “crashed through a sign somewhere,” and started to “black-out” and seize, because of the sudden illness. Due to the vehicle damage, the driver had to pull off the road completely. He said he wanted to “nurse it home.” He didn’t’ make it. Instead, the driv-

er met with the nurse at the Utah County Jail. Another courtroom DUI - A defendant showed-up to court allegedly under the influence of prescription medication. The man, who was appearing on a previous DUI charge, appeared in court and couldn’t maintain his balance. His speech was slurred, and other physiological indicators caused the alert SSPD officer in the courtroom to contact the defendant. He admitted to having taken a prescription pill that would’ve caused significant impairment. The defendant also admitted to having operated the vehicle that took him to the courthouse. He was field tested, and subsequently arrested in the courtroom. The judge imposed a $2,500 bail, and ordered him to be taken to jail immediately. “Urine custody” - While on routine patrol, an SSPD officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for a traffic violation. The driver produced a license that was suspended. After further computer checks, it was determined the driver also had an outstanding arrest warrant. He was placed into custody. During a search of his person, the officer discovered vials of human urine and hand-warmers. According to the driver, they were being used to “pass” drug testing that was supposed to occur at his workplace the following day. He was tested at the SSPD offices, by a forensic nurse, and was determined to be under the influence of marijuana precursors. Student assault - Officers were alerted to an assault that occurred at an area school bus stop. The incident involved two middle school students. The female student was allegedly confronted by a male student. According to witnesses, the boy had been bullying the girl for quite some time. The boy had reportedly been making verbal threats against the girl for several months, verbally and sexually harassing the student as well. At the end of the school year, on the day of the incident, the girl exited the bus and was then “jumped” by the young man. As the girl tried to distance herself from the boy, he attempted to undress the girl by pulling off her shirt. Other students and bystanders were on-hand to pull the boy off of the girl. The boy will be facing several serious charges. Have a great summer, and drive safely through city construction zones!
