SOUTH WEBER -- Detective John Olsen of the Davis County Sheriff’s Office recently presented a quarterly report to the city council.

Olsen reported there had been 137 law-related incidents last quarter, and that number had dropped to 115 this quarter. Traffic violations also fell from 260 to 147 during that time frame.

Olsen said the city was the “most well-behaved in Davis County.”

Mayor Jeffery Monroe said that once citizens figured there was a black SUV that was a sheriff vehicle in the area, they “slowed down.”

OGDEN — A woman suffered an injury to her knee after a car hit her Friday.

A 58-year-old woman turned off northbound Interstate 15 at Exit 342 and stopped at the stop sign at the bottom of the off-ramp, where drivers can turn left or right onto 24th Street, said Ogden Police Lt. Tony Fox.

She was looking to her left and moved forward when she saw a break in traffic, but hit a 55-year-old woman walking through the crosswalk in front of the car, Fox said.

The pedestrian was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. Police cited the driver for failure to yield.
