Last week, the Chesterfield Police Department handled a roster of calls and incidents that service the narrative of law and order within the community. According to a recent social media post from the Chesterfield Missouri Police Department, between the dates of November 16 and 22, officers were kept busy with 1098 calls for service, writing 113 original reports and issuing citations and warnings in the triple digits.
Among the incidents, a store employee at Walmart was caught failing to scan over 70 items at the self-checkout, escaping with goods worth more than $700. The suspect's shoplifting spree included a random assortment of items such as shoes, lighters, dog toys, shampoo, and deodorant. In an attempt at humor, the Chesterfield Missouri Police Department couldn't resist a pun, "Another victory for the forces of law and 'odor'." Upon being discovered, the employee was arrested and taken into custody.
Another individual was pulled over by officers for a traffic stop due to a faulty license plate. Driving with a suspended license and having active warrants weren't the suspect's only worries; there happened to be methamphetamine hidden in the suspect's pants. The court paperwork brandished capital letters, with the police quipping that it is an "upper case."
On a separate occasion, a driver caught operating a vehicle on a revoked license went for a beer can run with two on deck. Having at least five prior arrests for driving while intoxicated, signs of intoxication were promptly spotted by the officers. The individual, performing poorly on sobriety tests and registering a blood alcohol level above the threshold, it seems older buds may not always be wiser, or "budnotweiser" as the department put it.
The Chesterfield Missouri Police Department's weekly roundup provides a snapshot into the varied incidents they encounter, showcasing their continued efforts to enforce the law and their penchant for pun-filled social media updates.
