Cases of Interest in 2016
ODetectives investigated an incident involving a group of young people and a firearm at Zimmer Park on 04/19/16. This
incident happened when several young people arranged to meet at the park, reportedly to assault a young man. This young
man came to the park with a handgun and then pointed the firearm at one of the other young men who were there during
the confrontation. This young man eventually fired the gun, reportedly to show that it was real. Several young people
were charged with disorderly conduct stemming from their actions at the park.
0 O 09/27/16 Deputies were called to Klein Bank in Otsego for the discovery of a suspicious package that had been left
at the door of the bank. The package did not contain explosives however the manner in which the package was left and the
contents inside appeared to be done to cause fear. The package was processed by Evidence Technicians from the Sheriff's
Office and was sent to the Tri County Lab. A suspect was later identified from the evidence that was sent to the lab. This
suspect has since been arrested and is awaiting trial for Terroristic Threats.
♦ *" A&N♦�
The Major Crimes Investigation Unit (MCIU) is responsible for documenting and processing crime scenes and
evidence collected from scenes. The unit will respond when needed for death investigations, assaults,
robberies, burglaries, or any scene where advanced skills and processing techniques are needed to collect and
document evidence. MCIU also responds to motor vehicle crashes resulting in serious injuries or death.
Besides documenting the crime scenes, MCIU is trained in processing evidence for latent prints, DNA evidence,
tire and shoe tread patterns, tool mark evidence, biological stains, and trace evidence. Most of the evidence
collected is sent to the Tri County Regional Forensic Lab where further analysis and comparison is done and
hopefully identifications are made.
