Police report: Officers break up juvenile drinking party and issue MIP citations
The Lovell Police Department received the following calls for the week of November 11-17:
November 11: 12:04 p.m. – A caller reported receiving harassing calls and texts from another party. The caller was asked to bring copies of the communications for police to determine if they were civil or criminal in nature.
8:10 p.m. – A caller on Jersey Avenue reported that someone was shining a light in her house and then leaning on the house and shining the light at their car as they were pulling in. An officer responded and spoke to one individual in the area who denied doing anything.
November 13: 12:20 p.m. – A caller reported that packages in her mailbox on Jersey Avenue had been opened, but there didn’t appear to be anything missing. She suspected kids walking home from school. An officer said extra patrol on the street would be conducted.
November 15: 4:39 p.m. -- An officer performed a welfare check on a person staying at the camper park behind the Travelodge on East Main and discovered that the person was wanted on a warrant out of Park County. Lori Irene Flickinger was detained and taken to the Park County line, where a Park County deputy took custody of the woman.
November 16: 1:29 a.m. – An officer responded to a party involving juveniles on West Main after a call came in about “intoxicated teenagers partying and vomiting in the street.” The officer discovered “a garage full of underage drinkers.” A second Lovell officer plus a county deputy responded to assist. Some 15 juveniles fled the scene, but 17 citations were written for minor in possession of alcohol. Those who blew a zero on a breathalyzer were allowed to leave “with a thank you for doing the right thing.”
November 17: 7:57 a.m. – A caller on Shoshone Avenue reported that a neighbor’s dogs had been barking since 3 a.m. An officer responded and discovered two dogs outside, one on a leash and another tiny dog loose. The dog owners said they had just moved to Lovell and had previously lived in a rural area, so they were not used to town ordinances. They said they had ordered bark collars to help alleviate the problem.
