As Halloween Approaches Police Handle Pranksters

WATER VALLEY – Halloween is still over a week away and police are already dealing with seasonal pranksters.

Lt. Rick McCuan reported the following additional law enforcement activity within the Water Valley City limits during the past week:

• Made three arrests for disorderly conduct;

• Made two arrests for simple assault;

• Made an arrest for driving under suspension;

• Made an arrest for DUI, second offense;

• Made an arrest for shoplifting;

• Took a report of malicious mischief;

• Issued 22 traffic citations.
