A recent post from the Germantown Police Department's social media has detailed a series of crimes occurring between January 9 and January 11, 2026.

Early on January 9, at 3:17 a.m., an individual was arrested on the 1900 block of Kirby Parkway for assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest. Later that afternoon, another incident took place on the 1900 block of Rye Road, where a victim reported a violation of a protection order.

That same day saw further disturbances including a domestic assault where an ex-spouse was reported to have made threats around 1:27 p.m. on the 7600 block of West Farmington Boulevard. Shortly after, a case of custodial interference was reported close by, at the 7700 block of West Farmington Boulevard – involving an alleged violation of a court-ordered parenting plan. The day wrapped up with an account of shoplifting from the 9200 block of Poplar Avenue at 6:13 p.m.

The flow of misdemeanors and felonies took a brief respite on January 10, with the Germantown Police indicating, "No crimes were reported." However, tranquility was soon disrupted the next day when, at 8:23 a.m. on January 11, officers recovered a stolen vehicle on the 1600 block of Riverdale Road.

The details of these incidents were distributed by the police department with the intention of keeping the public informed on the local crime activity. For more information, readers can visit the department's original post on their Facebook page.
