A juvenile was arrested and issued two summonses following an incident in Old Town at 6:21 p.m. Sunday, April 20. An officer noticed the juvenile skateboarding in a park near the downtown area of Old Town. This was a violation of the Human Propelled Conveyance Ordinance, a violation that the juvenile had been warned of in the past. As a result, the officer issued the juvenile a summons. He was also issued a verbal criminal trespass warning and was told to stay out of the park for the next 24 hours. The juvenile responded by saying he might as well be summonsed now because he would be returning to the park. Five minutes later, he was found at the park once again. He was arrested and taken to the Old Town Police station. There he was released to his father and put on house arrest.

The owner of the Jeep and passenger, identified as Scott Murray, 18, was then asked if he had been drinking. He admitted to consuming four beers earlier. As a result, he was issued a summons for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor by consumption.
