LPD enforces underage
drinking party law
BY BRAD DEVEREAUX
The Lovell Police De-
partment had a chance to
enforce WS 6-4-406 - per-
mitting house parties
where •minors are present
-- this week after receiving
a report of underage drink-
ing going on at a Lovell res-
idence.
Chief of Police Nick
Lewis said this is the first
time the LPD has enforced
the relatively new statute.
He said it could be used to
write a citation to anyone
in control of a home while
minors are at the home
drinking alcoholic bever-
ages. The citation carries a
fine of up to $750, impris-
onment up to six months,
or both.
This week, a Lovell
woman was cited for per-
mitting a house party
where minors are pres-
ent, and three minors were
written MIP citations.
Lewis said the law does
not pin the blame on the
owner of the property, but
instead whoever is in con-
trol of the property at the
time of the underage drink-
ing. Age doesn't matter ei-
ther, Lewis said, and a mi-
nor can be cited as long as
he or she is in control of the
building, such as gaining
access with a set of keys or
inviting friends over while
parents are away.
Lewis said it can be
tough to find out about un-
derage drinking parties,
but officers can make con-
tact based on a noise com-
plaint, improperly parked
vehicles or other offenses
that lead to the discovery
of underage drinking.
"In the past, underage
drinking has been safe at
a house," Lewis said. "But
driving home is the danger-
ous part. I have to stress
how lethal it could be. The
state created this law to
keep people safe."
Powell FD offers extrication demonstration
A vehicle extricition
demonstration will take
place this Saturday, June
11, at 10 a.m. at the Pew-
ell Fire Department, locat-
ed at 1101 E. South Street.
The demonstration will be
taking place in conjunction
with a live training session
by local fire fighters. The
public is invited.
Those in attendance
will watch as members of
the fire department use the
Jaws of Life, hydraulic res-
cue tools used to extricate
trapped drivers and pas-
sengers in a vehicle acci-
dent. Typically, roofs and
doors of a donated wrecked
vehicle are forcefully re-
moved.
Powell Fire Depart-
ment's Cory Baker sched-
uled this educational ex-
perience to coincide with
the driver education
class currently being of-
fered through Powell Val-
ley Community Education
BOCES. Current and past
driver education students
are welcome to attend, as
well as anyone from the
general public. There is no
charge.
Disturber falls asleep, gets arrested
The Big Horn County
Sheriffs Department re-
ceived the following calls for
the week of May 30-June 6,
2011:
May 30: Deputies received
a report from a landowner
claiming that a vehicle was
stuck in the mud on his
property, and had to pass
two "no trespassing" signs
to get to the spot. Deputies

get unstuck. They warned
him not to trespass in the
future and the landowner
agreed to let the motor-
ist come back for the truck
once the mud dried.
June 4: Kempton Roger
Fitzherbert, 19, turned
himself in for an outstand-

mestic dispute in progress.
A subject at the scene was

cers responded and arrest-
ed Yanci Eugene Sabin, 27,
who was asleep on the couch
at the time of the deputies'
arrival, and transported
him to jail in Basin.

Charges dropped in plea deal
After being arrested
last week, charges have
been modified in a plea
agreement involving Jose
Luis Aguilar.
Aguilar was report-
edly arrested for DUI and
possession of a controlled
substance, but the State of
Wyoming dropped the DUI
charge on the grounds that
there was insufficient evi-
dence to prove it, accord-
ing to court documents. The
other charge - delivery of
drug paraphernalia - was
amended to a carelea driv-
ing charge.: ..... !:";:
As part of the plea deal,
Aguilar pleaded guilty to
careless driving and agreed
to pay a $210 fine and $40
in court fees. The order ap-
proving plea agreement was
filed in the Fifth Judicial
Circuit Court in Big Horn
County on May 25.
Just a reminder, always call
before you dig.
These days more and more power lines are located underground, and the truth is, you don't
know where they are, but we do. So before you pick up a shovel, pick up a phone and (:all 811
8 hours before you dig. Whether you're planting a tree, digging holes for fence posts or installing
underground sprinklers, knowing where the power lines are ROCKY MOUNTAIN
buried could be a matter of life and death. For more safety i i POWER
