The following is the Avalon Sheriff’s Station significant incidents report for the period of Aug. 21-Aug to Aug. 30.
“It is important to note that no assumption of criminal guilt or affiliation should be drawn from the content of the information provided in this report,” said Capt. Doug Fetteroll, commander of the Station. “Many people who get arrested do not get convicted or even charged with crimes for which they have been arrested.”
Safety warning for parents and children
Avalon deputies recently handled an incident in which two young boys were reportedly shooting an air soft gun at other people and golf carts. (An air soft gun is a non-lethal yet realistic replica of a gun.) Their investigation showed that no crime had occurred, but the potential for damage to property and injury to innocent people clearly existed.
Of significant concern to the deputies was the realistic appearance of the toy gun as the orange safety tip had been removed.
The realities of what could happen by pointing this gun at the wrong person are frightening to even think about.
Parents please do not let your children play with any type of gun that could be harmful to others or their own safety if mistaken for a real gun.
We took the accompanying photograph of the involved air soft gun and placed it beside one of our duty weapons for comparison. The air soft gun is on top.
