MARRIOTT-SLATERVILLE — Residents of an apartment complex are puzzled how a 4-year-old girl who uses a wheelchair was able to consume alcohol Thursday and be rendered unconscious.

“There is no way she could get alcohol by herself to drink,” said Lorie Castillo, who lives at 1045 S. 1200 West, Apartment 40, adding that the girl resides in Apartment 42.

SOUTH OGDEN — The shiny red D.A.R.E. car, a 2007 Saturn Sky, is now covered with black spray paint, which will cost thousands of dollars to remove and repaint.

“We have these cars for the kids and the community,” said Davis County Sheriff’s Deputy Cole Thon, the D.A.R.E. officer at West Point Junior High School.

The car’s D.A.R.E. motto, “To resist drugs and violence,” is barely visible under the black paint. Black paint also covered the car’s windows and hubcaps.

HUNTSVILLE — A Weber County sheriff’s sergeant cut a moose loose from a swing set that it was trapped in.

Sgt. Lane Findlay came to the scene after a passerby saw the moose with its antlers tangled in the swing set of a Causey Estates cabin on Sunday afternoon. Because wildlife officials were an hour away and the moose was in distress, Findlay approached the moose with a pair of cutters to free it from the chains himself. After about three minutes and several attempts to get close to the moose, Findlay freed the full-grown bull from its bonds.

OGDEN — Police arrested over the weekend, a group of thieves made its way through the northwest area of Weber County.

The thieves never did anything dangerous. They just tried car doors, opening the unlocked ones and snatching items from the front seat.

After following up on a warrant, Weber County sheriff’s deputies and Ogden police arrested at least four people they say were involved in the group responsible for a rash of vehicle burglaries and identity thefts Friday and Saturday.

OGDEN — To research the history of horsemen and their influence on society, one doesn’t have to do much more than watch the Weber County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse.

Known for its performances and support of the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo, the posse is celebrating its 70-year anniversary.

But even when it was organized in 1942, the posse had a flavor of the past.
